Storyline is all over the place. The monk, goes around exorcising demons, in various towns, while accompanied by his nameless lover, a spider demon. The monk constantly talks down to his lover, and doesn't seem to appreciate anything he does. It turns out the spider lover doesn't have a name, nor does he know the monk's name! Despite this, the spider lover is ever-faithful and loving. The monk finally decides to marry the spider demon, but doesn't bother to ask him, instead engaging him in the 9 cups marriage ceremony. The monk accidentally gives the spider demon a name (Jin)though it is initially meant as an insult! There's a side story about Nanao, the octopus bartender and his estranged lover, Prince Yosuke. Within the side story, there is a cameo appearance of the monk and Jin, his spider demon husband, who've been transformed into modern day characters. Makes no sense. There's even a notation within the manga that some details were left out, due to limited pages available! What is that?! It's mentioned in the story that the monk has periods like hibernation, where he is unwakable for up to years at a time. As a result, the monk has no idea how old he is, and believes he is human, since tgat is how he appears. However, the monk seems to have some kind of demonic power, although seemingly weak. This is never explained! Nor is it ever shown what kind of demon the monk is, or his true form. I'm guessing his mother was raped by a demon, and he is the result. So disappointed with this. Could have been an interesting story.
