8	''Chinyuki: Taro to Yukai na Nakama-tachi'' is a parody of ''Journey to the West'', where an assassin by the name of Taro Yamada is trying to right his misdeeds by travelling with a monk. Taro's misdeeds were essentially assassinating tons of people and pooping on their graves. A monk saw him and cursed him into a baby-monkey-hybrid-thing. With the help of the Monk, Taro has to battle demons and other weird anomalies to help regain his human form. The series was eventually cancelled after disturbing ''[[Magazine/ShonenJump Weekly Shonen Jump's]]'' demographic.

10	Eventually the series was revived with ''Chinyuki 2'' in the ''Business Jump'' magazine, where the story was essentially the same but Taro Yamada's baby-esque form was replaced by E-Taro, who was essentially a business man/nerd stereotype.
