Once, there was an island where it was always spring... ...An island somewhere in the South Seas, with green forests and wide lakes. And mountains, let us not forget the mountains. Tall mountains with deep roots, filled with one of mankind's most precious treasures: diamonds. The name of this island is Malynera, and its king is only a child. Patalliro the 8th, King of Malynera, is ten-years-old. From the day he was born, everyone knew he was... unusual. He is a hyper boy, with flashes of genius, moments of thoughtless cruelty, and the ability to make a bad pun out of anything. Smart, but only a child and so he often does very stupid things. Patalliro! is his story. He lives in a world very similar to our own, but where the bizarre is commonplace. He manages to get into all kinds of trouble, from international terrorists, to space aliens, to accidental time-travel. His first challenge as king is to stay alive, when a group called the International Diamond Syndicate decides that they want control of the Malynera diamond mines. This is how he meets Bancoran, who was assigned to be his bodyguard during a trip to Britain. It's also how they meet Maraich, who was one of the assassins sent by the IDS. Patalliro is almost always accompanied by his army of Tamanegi ("Onions", so-called because of their onion-shapped wigs). The Tamanegi all wear identical masks, wigs, and glasses, and are known only by numbers. They are Patalliro's protectors, but protect the world from him just as much as they protect him from the world. (Source: cathion.net)
Special 4-koma series published to celebrate Hana Yume's 900th issue anniversary.
The story features our hero, O-pata, a ten-year-old boy who bears a suspicious resemblance to [Patalliro](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=5046), but has quite a different personality. He's working at a part-time agency as a cleaner to pay off debts left by his late father. Randomly, his employer O-kuma (the most obvious okama in the history of Japan) tells him she has a new job for him, posing as the wife of an American tycoon visiting Japan whose real wife has disappeared. O-pata bears an eiree resemblance to the run-away wife. The tycoon has no idea that O-pata is actually a boy. The episode is such a success that his old school friends want to hire O-pata themselves, since they had a crush on the wife in college. O-kuma drags him to America, where they become stranded. Thereafter, O-pata keeps up his female disguise to lure in men in various crazy schemes of O-kuma so that they can raise enough money to return to Japan. Hilarity results from O-kuma's various surprising skills (such as contacts in the CIA, the ability to catch, prepare, and cook rabbits, and a mean leg for hitchhiking a ride)... as well as O-pata's surprising affinity for cross-dressing -caithion.net
