The 4th Monkey and the Taverne of the Seven-Armed Kraken

When the gambling-addicted Princess Yuki runs off yet again, her yojimbos (bodyguards) Eggers and Lenni do everything in their power to catch her before her uncontrollable daimyo plucks out every single one of their feathers. In the process, they encounter not only the usual suspects—shinobi, yakuza, and kauji—but also a magical monkey with extremely annoying principles. Kawaī alert! Prequel to the famous tale: The 5th Monkey from Hell Valley.
