"Temple," an anime series airing from July 2023, is a work by Yoshioka Kimitake, the illustrator behind Grand Blue. It's a harem anime about a protagonist born into a family of women-lovers and womanizers who has suffered through generations. To rid himself of his worldly desires, he enters a nunnery full of beautiful girls! I'd like to introduce the protagonist, Akagami Myouki, who lives his life using his womanizing father as a negative example!
The Protagonist, Akagami Myouki! I Don't Need Women in My Life!?
The protagonist, Akagami Myouki, is a very earnest college student. He was a somewhat eccentric young man who boasted that he had no need for women in his life. He showed no interest in the girls' track and field team, where their curves were clearly visible, and even declined invitations to group dates from his university classmates. He was a very stoic and good-natured young man who devoted himself to his studies and part-time jobs. However, the reason for his stoic and ascetic nature wasn't because he hated women or because he was homosexual; it had a major connection to his own family.
Akagami Meiko: Descendant of a Cursed Family Famous for Womanizing and Captivating Women
Meiko's father was a womanizer and avid womanizer. His father was like Shima Kosaku, declaring that the meaning of life was to get close to every girl, and setting off on a journey to get close to girls all over the world. As a child, Akimitsu even thought his father's actions were cool, but he eventually realized that they were the path of a beast. Having experienced his father's hellish experiences and being labeled a womanizer and pervert, Akimitsu was left deeply traumatized and wanted to live a life different from his father and his family.
Akimitsu is hit by a family curse that began with love at first sight!?
Meikou had managed to suppress the worldly desires inherent to his family until one day, when he met a beautiful girl and fell in love at first sight. A curse?! The worldly desires he had been suppressing until then became uncontrollable, and he began to think about erotic things. This caused him to almost fail a class, get fired from his part-time job, and instantly disrupt his daily life. He thought that sleeping would cure his love and worldly desires, but with each passing day, they grew stronger, and he found himself unable to do anything about it.
He had no choice but to become a monk! Akagami Myoko Tries to Sever His Worldly Relationships
Weakened by his worldly desires, Myoko decides to take a leave of absence from university as a last resort and become a monk. Since women are not allowed to train at temples, Myoko is introduced to a temple by a relative, where he hopes to thoroughly train his weaknesses. However, there he meets a beautiful girl, Aoba Yuzuki, with whom he falls in love at first sight. Apparently, the relative introduced him to the temple without realizing that it is a nunnery where men are not allowed.
Due to the curse of his family (debt), he is plunged into a harem life at a nunnery?
Meiko arrives at a nunnery off-limits to men due to a lack of communication from the person in charge and a misunderstanding by his relatives. After a brief commotion, he pretends the incident never happened and leaves the nunnery. However, Yuzuki, who had not abandoned Meiko, brings him back. They discover that Meiko's father had borrowed a huge sum of 20 million yen from the temple. To repay the debt, he ends up living at the nunnery and undergoing training.
A perfect cook! A skilled cleaner! A highly skilled man who can even do clerical work!
Even before coming to the nunnery, Akagami Akagami had a very earnest personality and devoted himself to his part-time job. Thanks to his restaurant experience, he is a better cook than any of the women at the temple, even surpassing them. He also excels at making Japanese sweets, is highly motivated to do chores like cleaning, and handles the temple's administrative work flawlessly. He has already become an indispensable member of the temple. Overall, he is a highly capable, high-spec protagonist. He has excellent physical abilities and a drive to somehow overcome even critical situations.
A man who devotes himself to his training! Akagami Akagami!
Since coming to the temple, Meiko has had numerous lucky pervert encounters and lives a life filled with worldly desires. However, he wants to overcome these desires and actively participates in the training given to him at the temple. Because he approaches every training with sincerity and sincerity, he sometimes makes mistakes or acts recklessly, which often leads to further lucky pervert encounters.
A man who makes funny faces because of his worldly desires! Akagami Meiko!
Akemitsu's facial expressions shine in the comedy parts of this work. The author has had some excellent facial expressions since his previous work, "Grand Blue," and his facial expressions are still very much alive and well in this work. He displays a wide variety of facial expressions, especially in the lucky pervert scenes. He also occasionally performs nude scenes, a feature unique to the previous work. Overall, the influence of the previous work is clearly evident.
A man who confronts his worldly desires and hits himself!
While it's unclear whether his family's cursed bloodline is to blame, Akemitsu, who possesses stronger worldly desires than most, often engages in self-harming reactions to suppress his desires by hitting himself when he encounters a lucky perverted scene or makes a lustful look at his roommate. This is a unique reaction. He's generally a strong person, so he's fine a few scenes later.
A man who becomes stronger by releasing his worldly desires!
Thus, Meiko sometimes suppresses his worldly desires through facial expressions and sometimes through self-inflicted injury. However, by deliberately releasing his worldly desires, he displays a power befitting his bloodline. His physical abilities increase dramatically, and he displays the power of a womanizer, instantly capturing the hearts of women with a technique befitting each individual. However, in the end, he still retains his rationality, preventing him from unleashing his true power. After unleashing his powers, he suffers from aftereffects such as being overwhelmed by his own stupid, erotic emotions, and his frequency of perverted behavior increases.
