What happens after Journey to the West? In this imaginative, comical sequel titled Going West, acclaimed cartoonist Tsai Chih Chung takes readers on a light-hearted continuation of the legendary pilgrimage — with a twist of humor and wisdom.

This volume dives into the post-epic adventures of Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong (the Monkey King), Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing as they encounter quirky characters, philosophical riddles, and tongue-in-cheek parodies.
