CATDOLL: Hilarious comic "Saint Brothers" will be released as a Japanese drama Buddha takes a vacation to draw comics

Another hilarious manga "Saint Young Men" by Hikaru Nakamura, the author of "Arakawa Under the Bridge", has recently been announced to be adapted into a live-action TV series. Specific information about the actors and production staff will be announced next month. This work is also very unique in its hilarious effects, just like "Arakawa Under the Bridge". "Saint Young Men" tells the hilarious stories of daily life in a cheap apartment in Tachikawa, Tokyo, Japan, where there is no bath and pets are not allowed, when Buddha (Shakyamuni) and Jesus go on vacation. Although we don't know who will be the lead actor yet, it is not easy to perform this work well.

"Saint Brothers" is a comic book about religion that has been serialized by Hikaru Nakamura in the monthly magazine "Morning Two" since 2006. The two male protagonists of the comic are Sakyamuni and Jesus Christ, the founders of the two major religions in the world, Buddhism and Christianity. The two took advantage of their long vacation in heaven to come to the world as ordinary human beings. The two rented a suite in an apartment in Tokyo, Japan and started living together. In the comic, Buddha is like a housekeeper who is responsible for the daily housework and expenses of the two people's lives, while Jesus is obsessed with Japanese culture and has opened a blog to write about his experience of watching TV series. He is quite famous among the core TV series audience.

The comic combines the funny cohabitation of two men with some stories from their respective religions. Basically, there are many Buddhist and Christian stories in each episode, and the disciples of Buddha and Jesus will come to see the two men when they have nothing to do. In addition to religious stories, there are also many otaku stories in the story. For example, because Buddha liked Osamu Tezuka's comic "Buddha", he wanted to be a cartoonist himself. Unexpectedly, the four-frame comic he created was very popular in heaven, and he really debuted as a cartoonist, but he was annoyed by his disciples urging him to submit his manuscripts.
