Seeking respite from their saintly obligations, Buddha and Jesus enjoy a sabbatical in a shared apartment in modern-day Tokyo. Together the two young, holy men endeavor to enjoy all the city has to offer, navigating shopping malls and festivals, hot springs and local parks. In this lighthearted manga, two saints experience life's joys and struggles that are truly universal.

A slice of life manga about Jesus and Buddha living in modern Japan. That’s all you need to know.

Super hilarious and punny. I loved how they made fun of each other and all the little jokes about the respective religions. Looking forward to volume two.

A lovely slice-of-life where Jesus and Buddha take a gap year from being religious figures. There were a lot of references to the history of their lives and extensive notes explaining them. I had hoped there would be some philosophical discussions but there's not much if at all of that since it is a comedy. There were some parts that were quite funny.
