Synopsis:
This series explores an unusual premise: the spiritual leaders of two major world religions navigating contemporary Tokyo life as temporary residents. The narrative centers on a shared apartment between Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha, who attempt to blend into modern Japanese society while concealing their divine origins. Humor arises from their contrasting philosophies colliding with everyday situations, leading to observations about faith, cultural differences, and the human condition. The anime subtly examines the complexities of belief systems through comedic scenarios as the roommates grapple with technology, social customs, and the challenges of understanding a world vastly different from their own. It offers a gentle, thought-provoking perspective on spirituality and identity within a vibrant, everyday setting.
