Prince Taro, also known as Kaibutsu-kun, must live among people for a while as part of a grooming process before taking over the kingdom. So begins the sometimes scary, sometimes touching and often hilarious adventures of Kaibutsu-kun and his three affable attendants, Dracula, Wolfman and Franken.
The monsters meet humans Hiroshi and his older sister Utako, and through them, they learn about friendship, love, family and ultimately, the purpose of their mission: what it takes to be a leader.
