A man washed up on an unknown, isolated island has lost his memory. Giant creatures roam around, ruthlessly devouring their prey. Suddenly, the man trembles in fear and discovers an extremely high castle wall. He expected to see signs of civilization and humans, but a large number of corpses were dumped from the top of the castle wall, refusing to come. As the man secretly watched the situation on the castle wall, he began to feel a strong desire to go to the other side of the wall. What will happen on the other side of this high wall, and what will be the fate of this man? One of Hideshi Hino's masterpieces, painted in 1972.

Based on the tale of the Journey to the West, the Demon-Slaying Chronicles are a retelling of the story, reimagining them as dedicated demon slayers instead of pilgrims for sacred texts. The author interprets the story as the four main protagonists fighting for justice freely, not fearing power and status, and neither doing so for the "greater good". From the White Bone Spirit, Sea Spirit, Nine-Headed Beast, Azure Lion, White Elephant, Great Peng, to the battle to the death with the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, all of it was done for the sake of justice, and not as trials and tribulations in the way of acquiring sacred texts. A clear distinction between being pilgrims and demon-slaying is made, where the former is for an intangible "greater good", while the latter is easier to grasp. Between the both, the four choose the latter, and to quote what Jiang Liu'er says to the Buddha: "I am but a simple monk, and our paths simply do not coincide."
