Synopsis

Utsuho's truthfulness as a child resulted in an enormous catastrophe, and he decided to lie from that day forward. Raised in a village of orphans by a monk, Utsuho is an unrepentant troublemaker. The monk eventually inspires him to help people, but there's no way Utsuho's going to lead an honest life! Instead, he's going to use his talents for mischief and deception for good!

tl;dr: A manga about lies and trickery that’s terrible with lies and trickery but is pretty good dumb fun anyway.

An Itsuwaribito is a master of trickery, capable of using stealth, lies, and force in order to enact their plans. This manga focuses on one named Utsuho who decided to use his skills to help people.
