Boku no Son Goku
Osamu Tezuka's Boku no Son Goku (My Son Goku) is a manga adaptation of Journey to the West that follows the classic story's basic framework—Goku causes chaos in heaven, gets rescued by the monk Sanzo, and sets off on a quest to retrieve sacred scriptures while recruiting companions like Hakail and Gojyo along the way. But Tezuka made it his own, departing from the source material in significant ways and infusing the story with his distinctive style and comedic sensibilities. It's a fitting approach for the legendary "Father of Anime," who clearly couldn't resist putting his own spin on this timeless tale.
