Jesus And Buddha Live As Roommates In This Comedy Anime
What if Buddha and Jesus were roommates? A question that might sound very strange and interesting at the same time. In the real world, as we all know this is a completely different story but do you know there is a comedy anime that features the founding fathers of the two most followed religions in the world, Jesus and Buddha living as roommates?!
“Saint Young Men”, a slice-of-life comedy anime sees the central figures of Christianity and Buddhism living together as roommates in an apartment in Tachikawa, part of the suburbs of Tokyo. While taking a vacation on Earth, Jesus and Buddha attempt to hide their identities and understand modern Japanese society.
Later on, the anime tracks their lives during an average day, when they are sightseeing, drinking beer, blogging, or playing video games. While Jesus is portrayed as carefree, outgoing, and eager to experience the modern world, Buddha is shown to be a calm, reserved, and wise man who likes manga.
Based on the manga written by Hikaru Nakamura, the central idea of the series is to involve the teachings, traditions, and beliefs associated with Christianity and Buddhism. Through humorous conversations and events, viewers gain a deeper understanding of these faiths while appreciating the harmonious relationship between the two protagonists.
“Saint Young Men” is a unique and refreshing anime that merges religious icons with everyday life, humor, and friendship. Through its clever storytelling, cultural references, and insightful character development, the anime cleverly incorporates religious symbolism and historical events into its narrative.
