SAINT ☆ YOUNG MEN


Yesterday, I bought a comic book, SAINT ☆ YOUNG MEN. It is a new book, the sixth volume.
The story is very humorous and peculiarity. The main characters are Buddha and Jesus Christ. They live together at a run-down apartment in Tachikawa, Tokyo as a vacation. They live their ordinary days like us, but everything is special and interesting for them. They enjoy a vacation so much.
In a new book, they go and enjoy at the sea, enjoy dressing up as Dracula and Frankenstein on Halloween, play a special sport, go to karaoke, think about the heavens tour, make comics and Jesus Christ sees a dentist. There is nothing special for me. But they enjoy all out everything in their ordinary days.

In these books, there are so many jokes based on Buddhist and Christian histories or episodes and so on. Now, these books have greater popularity than expected in Japan. I think that this comic book will become only in Japan. Pious believers in Christianity or Buddhism can’t accept this book. Almost of Japanese believe in no religion, so some of them like it.
I think that this idea is very interesting. The situation of a simple life of Buddha and Jesus Christ is surreal and interesting. And I think if everyone and every country in the world became wholly peace, they could live such a homely life.
And I don’t have much knowledge about Buddhism and Christianity very much. There are many things that I don’t have ideas in this book. So, I want to learn much more things about them. I can learn many things and get special laugh from this book, so I like it very much!
