Saint Young Men

Have you ever wondered what Jesus and Buddha would be like as roommates? Even if you haven't, this manga is pretty good for some religious styled crack.


In this series by Nakamura Hikaru, Jesus and Buddha decide to take a vacation and become roommates living in Japan together. In this chapter the two are trapped inside, bored, as it rains. After being mocked by Jesus for his lame hobbies(meditation, chanting, cleaning, and silk screening), Buddha decides to see what Jesus does to keep preoccupied.

<----- Read from Right to Left!




XD


I love all the references.


;p

They won the Buddha statue in the last chapter. Jesus thought it was funny.


Anyone recognize the kid there? Give you a hint, something to do with a certain notebook. Lol.
So now to find out what the landlord wants...

The birds have been a small joke that occationally pops up, animals loving both of them.

Yep, the animals love them. So much so that they're willing to sacrifice for them.

D: Lol.
And one last little laugh...

I'm just glad he's not into comics.

He could be one of us. Here. >_>

This is amazing. That Light reference made me LOL.

What an awsome concept. I hope they stay the same wiscracking layabouts throughout the years and never get serious.

I know. It's NICE, seeing those two getting to relax and enjoy themselves. Nobody can say they haven't earned it, poor dears.

Yeah, that Judas guy is a real troll. I wish the mod would descend from on high and deal with him. And he's not even the worst guy on those boards. Like that St_Peter dude, always defriending people. And posting stuff and then going back and deleting entries and denying he ever said them, he's done that, like, three times.

I only have one portion of the internet to give away, but it's yours.

Hey, don't hate. His reputation is blown way out of proportion; I'm told the admin asked him to troll so the favored posters look more sympathetic in arguments. It sounds pretty ridiculous, but you know the distances people will go for attention. Under a pseudonym, he's not half bad. Still craves the spotlight, though.

(I read about the Book of Judas and was intrigued, even though I'm not all that religious.)

The worst was back in the early days of the boards when Yahweh was mod. Every time just one tiny flame war started, or someone made a single troll post, he'd be all, "That's it, I'm banning everyone and taking down the boards and the server too. Die in a flood!" Once he even went ahead and did that, and for forty days and nights we had to find some other forum to hang out in before Yahweh cooled off and upgraded to version 2.0. After that, whenever he got all emo and threatened to do it again, Assistant Mod Moses would talk him into just locking a thread or something.

FANTASTIC!

Dare I ask where you found this delicious crack?

[identity profile] kyuuketsukirui.insanejournal.com 2009-03-18 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
You can download it from my site (http://manga.megchan.com) or read it online at One Manga (http://www.onemanga.com/Saint_Young_Men/). (This is the most recent chapter I've translated.)

I love the White Elephant t-shirt, and bonus Kira reference! LOL!

(Icon is appropriate).

In my personal canon, this is now in the same verse as American Gods.

"I can only make rye bread!"

I LOL'd. ;)

That's okay, because You don't have to be Jewish to love Levy's real Jewish Rye (http://www.posters.com/pv-481407_You-Dont-Have-to-be-Jewish-to-Love-Levys.html).

This was strangely cute. XD

I bet the prophets of old get together and go "WTF R U DOIN" at the stuff we do down here, then blog about it on the heavenly intarnetz.

No one has commented on fact that the title is a pun on "Saint Seiya"? The Japanese word for "young man" is "seinen".

The part with the cats just kills me. Their frantic "we're not going to BBQ you!"
