From the synopsis, this manga sounded absurdly funny and boy this did not disappoint. I saw a lot of complaints about the notes at the end of every chapter to explain some things that happened. I didn't read any of them and was still laughing at something every other page. Was I missing something? Maybe, but it was still such a great, fun time for me so I'm not worried about it. This was an absolute yes for me and I can't wait to get my hands on volume 2!

A gag manga about Jesus and Buddha living as roommates in early 2000s Tokyo. I read a small amount of this back in the day via fan translations but never expected it to get an official translation so many years later. As many others have pointed out, quite a bit of the humor can be lost in translation but if you're a fan of gag manga I recommend checking out at least the first few chapters and deciding for yourself
