From Publishers Weekly
A four musketeers tale in which some of the heroes are human and some are a bit more, this manga follows a band of handsome, dashing young adventurers as they travel the land fighting the demonic youkai, who look almost human, aside from pointy ears and bat wings. There's a lot of backstory to this saga, but the protagonists are likable enough to make it enjoyable for newcomers. The leader of the band is Sanzo, a human priest with deadly fighting skill and sullen good looks. Son Goku, a much more cheerful kid, is actually the Monkey King; a long imprisonment in which he never aged explains why he looks and acts like an 18-year-old. Ladies' man Gojyo is actually a youkai himself, but that doesn't stop him from being one of the good guys. And Hakkai is a human who wears a monocle and drives the Jeep. This installment of their adventures has the boys saving a cute girl from a youkai attack and, after fleeing a mob of grateful villagers, stumbling upon an encampment of youkai children. With a winning combination of charming heroes, clever dialogue, great fight scenes and engaging stories, Reload is solid entertainment all the way. (Sept.)

I love it
What is there not to like to the Tokyopop's translation of Saiyuki Reload? Loaded with creative funny one liners that never repeats (unlike the Japanese version)and reminds me a lot of the English dub of the ADV Gensomaden Saiyuki.
The only con is, sometimes Tokyopop doesn't fill in a word balloon and the quality is crappy compare to the Japanese version but hey is cheap.
