Description of the oneshot Kikai Tonchi Banashi Hanasaka Ikkyuu
One-shot published in Weekly Shounen Jump.
Long, long ago, there lived an eccentric spirit. One who ate the souls of humans and loved "riddles". He would ask anyone who crossed his path sadistic "questions", and if they returned a "stupid answer", they would have their souls eaten without a moment's delay. On the other hand, if they answered with "wit", the spirit would grant a single wish, regardless of what it was. There was a bald, witty genius of a boy who responded magnificently to the spirit's "question". His wish was for the spirit to possess him for the rest of his life!
