Synopsis
Yamato must reform a lazy, alcoholic monk once praised as a prodigy by their master.
When Master spoke about his former disciple Ittetsu, he always praised his great talent. But when Yamato comes to Ittetsu's village to bring him back to the Tenroku Monastery, he's met with a monk who sleeps in, doesn't read Sutra, can't keep quiet during Zazen, and... drinks ALCOHOL?! Just what kind of trick has been played on Yamato?! Where is the talented Buddhist monk Master speaks so highly of, and who is this fake Ittetsu in front of him? That's it. Yamato has had enough and decides he must whip Ittestu into shape during their journey together. Maybe he used to be a great monk, but surely he has since been corrupted by wickedness! Will Yamato be able to tame the carefree monk? Just what about him makes Master think he is so great? (Source: Fantasista Inc.) Included one-shot: Awairo Emaki: Tokubetsu Yomikiri
