Itsuwaribito, Volume 21

The adventures of a liar and his band of friends who use lies to do good.

Utsuho's truthfulness as a child resulted in an enormous catastrophe, and he decided to lie from that day forward. Raised in a village of orphans by a monk, Utsuho is an unrepentant troublemaker. The monk eventually inspires him to help people, but there's no way Utsuho's going to lead an honest life! Instead, he's going to use his talents for mischief and deception for good!

Utsuho and his comrades have finished their battle against their deadly archenemy Gin Hobaku. After a brief rest, the epic quest for the Kokonotsu treasure gets under way once more. Utsuho and company wish to find the god who bestowed this treasure and are told that, in order to do this, they must go to Mount Fuji. Once there, they learn the full story of the Kokonotsu and the role each of them now has in it!
