Jesus and Buddha as room-mates in Japan

[GDon]

There has been a popular manga series which has Jesus and Buddha living as room-mates in a typical small apartment in suburban Tokyo called "Saint Young Men" (聖セイント☆おにいさん".

It's now been made into an animated movie. Here is a clip from the movie (it has English subtitles):

Jesus and Buddha are in a sauna. They meet a man with a large tattoo on his back. (In Japan, people with tattoos are often yakuza.) Jesus is mistaken for a yakuza because of his scars. Funny!

Yes! This is wonderful. The Manga near the top of my want to read list. Looks like I'll probably see the Anime first.

Jesus and Buddha as bros. Now that's entertainment!
(For nerds like me.)

It's fascinating how Jesus is re-interpreted in other cultures, particularly Asian ones.

Here is an image of Jesus from China:

For the sequel, Mohammad should be their butler.

Yeah, that's existed for years. My (Japanese) wife has several mangas from this series.
