Attain Buddha hood, Buddha…
Child of God, Jesus…
They are recognized as founders of Buddhism and Christianity. Buddha and Jesus overcame end of the century, and planned to have a vacation on the Earth. They picked up Tachikawa, Tokyo Japan for vacation. Not Hawaii or Guam..! They live in very small studio apartment without bathrooms in Tachikawa. How do they have fun on the Earth!!?
“Saint Young Men” is a story about common touch life of Gods♪. Spiral hair, urna on forehead and long earlobes are characteristics of Buddha. He is warm and calm but a super saver. When he gets angry, he turns into terrifying and starts shine. (ﾟДﾟ#) He has a unique hobby such as making T-shirts using silk screen printing, and 30% of T-shirts which Buddha and Jesus wear are made by Buddha’s hand. He is called “Button man” and his urna is aimed by elementary school students in the neighborhood. Oh, he is good at drawing pictures.
Jesus has a beard and long hair with a crown of thorns. He is very childish and easily influenced by movies and something like that. Also he is a big spender and buys expensive stuff, so this makes Buddha angry often. (´･ω･｀) He loves blog and online games. He plays online games with his apostles. Jesus tries not to cross the line of God, but searched the Internet for Leah Dizon once… Somehow, he gets along with a mob at sauna and is misunderstood as a brother and called “Bro.” ( ´∀｀)
Hmmm, from these points, they are not like Gods at all. lol. But they ARE Gods. When they say virtuous things, their halos are shown and miracles occur. +(0ﾟ･ω･)+
Many impactful characters appear in “Saint Young Men” other than Buddha and Jesus♪ For example, their apartment landlord Mr. Matsuda and a mob Ryuji who misunderstands Jesus and Buddha are brethen and calls them “Bro.” The twelve apostles are Jesus’ online game companions and the four archangels who aim for being idles. The ten great disciples respect Buddha tooooo much so prostrate and pray whenever and wherever. And gods of the heavens try to produce Buddha in various ways.
I have a favorite story which isBrahmā, Śakra and Michael come down to the Earth for Buddha and Jesus’ promotional video shooting. Former promotional video they made was for Zeus but it was half-hearted job. And when Michael chooses their outfits, his “Chuunibyo” part runs wild… The promotional video doesn’t show their Gods’ parts, however Buddha gets relieved because it is not “abnormal promotional video” but “normal promotional video.” About Jesus, he does all kinds of things such as wearing a cap with wings wrong side up during shooting and etc…. There are many laughing and pointed parts, so it’s very funny. (*ﾟ∀ﾟ)
“Saint Young Men” is a short manga of daily life, so you can definitely enjoy stories wherever you start reading ♪ It was made into a movie in 2013. ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾒ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾒ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ If you want to chill out and relax, I recommend you to peek at their daily life|∀･)
As additional information: They take 260,000 yen (in total) a month in pay. Oh, they don’t get a lot. lol
