Found these by accident but absolutely love them. They make me laugh, and the friendship between Jesus and Buddha is fantastic.

Okay, this was fun! I enjoyed reading about Jesus and Buddha's vacation here on Earth. They are essentially taking a gap year and renting out an apartment in Tokyo, Japan and just enjoying some down time and seeing how much the world has changed since they were last here in their mortal coil.

Absolutely hilarious. Buddha and Jesus take a gap year on earth and they are a riot. Absolutely recommend.
Very funny and entertaining, especially for someone with some knowledge of Christianity and Buddhism. I rarely see accurate and entertaining takes on Buddhism, in particular, so, as a Buddhist myself, this was a delight. The author's takes on Jesus and the Buddha were clever without deprecating either of these religions. I also appreciated the footnotes at the end of each chapter for those of us reading this in translation to understand the references--especially those specific to Japanese culture. Highly recommend.
