"Tempuru," which will be aired as an anime in July 2023, is a slapstick romantic comedy about a protagonist who decides to become a monk in order to control his stronger than average worldly desires, but for some reason ends up training at a nunnery where three beautiful sisters live. The characters are cute and funny, so I personally think it's a work that's well suited to animation. It's a slapstick comedy about everyday life, with many episodes that are self-contained, but there is also a general storyline, so I've put together a summary of that general outline here!
Story 1: I don't need women in my life!
Akagami Akimitsu, a university student, comes from a family known for its love affairs with women. Akimitsu's father also enjoyed life through romantic relationships with many women. Growing up under such a father, Akimitsu was looked down upon as a family of womanizers, so he sought to live a different, more serious and honest life. He studied hard and worked part-time jobs, striving to achieve a stable, high income and social status. He didn't need a woman! Or so he thought.
Story Part 2: The Blood Curse is Activated...
However, one day, Myoko accidentally encounters a beautiful girl and falls in love at first sight. Perhaps this love at first sight has activated the family curse, or perhaps it's a backlash from his previous life of abstinence, but he finds himself unable to concentrate on his studies or part-time job. Realizing that this situation is not good, Myoko decides to take a leave of absence from university and become a monk at a temple introduced to him by a relative.
Story Part 3: The place he becomes a monk at is a nunnery where three beautiful sisters live!?
The temple introduced by a relative was not an ordinary temple, but a nunnery where three beautiful sisters live and where men are not allowed. Apparently, the relative was unaware that it had been converted into a nunnery. What's more, the eldest of the three sisters, Aoba Yuzuki, was the beautiful girl with whom Akimitsu fell in love at first sight. A misunderstanding due to poor communication and a lucky pervert incident combined to turn the situation into chaos, and Akimitsu was turned over to the police as a pervert.
Story 4: Akagami Myoko Ends Up Saddled with His Father's Debt
Though the misunderstanding was cleared up, Yuzuki couldn't bear to leave Myoko alone, as he was about to leave the temple and sleep outdoors. She offered to stay with him for just one night. The two then introduced themselves for the first time, but it turned out that Myoko's father had owed Yuzuki Mikazuki-ji Temple, where he lived, a massive sum of 20 million yen. As a result, Myoko was forced to repay his father's debt.
Story 5: Almost Kicked Out with a Sexy Tactic
Yuzuki allows Akimitsu to stay with her on the condition that he pays off his debt with labor, but her second daughter Tsukiyo and Mia, who is staying with her, refuse to accept it. If Akimitsu had been incompetent, they could have found an excuse to kick him out, but Akimitsu, who works various part-time jobs day and night and is extremely capable, cooking, cleaning, and doing clerical work, couldn't find an excuse to kick him out. They try to expose his true nature with a sexy tactic and kick him out. So Tsukiyo, who has the biggest breasts, goes to try and seduce him, but...
Story 6: Yuzuki Sells Herself!?
After a series of events, Myoko was allowed to live at the temple, but the temple faced another major problem. The temple was in danger of being abandoned, and a new head priest was needed to prevent this. Yuzuki had arranged to have an arranged marriage with another man in order to protect the temple. However, on the way to the marriage meeting, Myoko encountered various troubles, and was also shaken by the fact that Yuzuki was selling herself.
Story 7: Mia's Family
Although the arranged marriage was settled and Meiko had become friendly with the three sisters, Mia Christophe, who was staying with Meiko, refused to allow him to live with her. Despite Meiko's attempts to kick her out of the temple, it seemed she was born under a star that allowed her to receive lucky pervert encounters. In fact, Mia's family was so open about sexual matters that they were known as a lustful family. This led to her being looked at strangely by her schoolmates, and she came to this nunnery as a form of refuge, realizing that her family's teachings were wrong. In other words, Mia's circumstances were exactly like a female version of Akagami Myoko.
Story 8: The Ordination Begins!!
Mia and Myoko, sharing the same circumstances, become close friends and happily begin living together. Yuzuki and the others then begin their ordination (the preparatory training for becoming a head priest), but they now have to complete the ordination in just three months, which normally takes a year. To clear their minds, the three decide to build up their tolerance for the opposite sex by living together in a small room and practicing in a sauna.
Story 9: No Money!
Yuzuki, Meiko, and Mia continue their training smoothly despite various mishaps, but then a new problem arises. Yuzuki's ordination ceremony has been scheduled to take place at this temple. However, the temple's principal image has been repaired with duct tape, and it needs to be repaired before the ceremony. Naturally, the temple does not have the funds for such a thing. Meiko and the others need at least 500,000 yen by the time the ceremony arrives.
Story 10: Money Making
In addition to finding a way to earn the large sum of 500,000 yen, a food shortage also occurs. Despite numerous problems, including Yuzuki's habit of taking on too much on her own, they ultimately resolve to revive the temple together.
Story 11: The Mystery of Kagura
Mia's best friend, the mysterious woman who accompanied her on her homestay and acted as her personal attendant, finally reveals her true nature and motives. Kagura begins to seduce Akimitsu in various ways, using her cunning machinations. Her sole purpose is to groom Mia into a lustful queen through the "Lecherous Queen Development Plan." In reality, Kagura was Mia's personal attendant, and also an agent for the prestigious Christoph family. Myoko's presence was meant to be a step toward becoming the Queen of Lust, but because the two of them colluded to suppress worldly desires with reason, she became a hindrance, and they began to work to eliminate her.
Story 12: Parishioners' General Meeting!
After much discussion about the temple repair costs, they decided to simply ask for donations from the parishioners. However, whether the parishioners would be willing to provide the money was another matter. Everyone decided to think about what they could do instead. He then asks the parishioners who have gathered at the general parishioner meeting for help, but one of the main topics of discussion is whether the temple will really be needed in the future. During this discussion, the parishioner's grandson is taken hostage by a mysterious demon.
Story 13: Oinashiki Ceremony
The parishioner's grandson was taken hostage during the Oinashiki Ceremony (bean-throwing ceremony) organized by the temple. The O-nan ceremony was a huge success, just like the previous ones. Thanks to the efforts of Meiko, who put his body on the line as the demon, Mia in cosplay, Yuzuki in a divine priest outfit, and Tsukiyo and the others, who showed consideration for the parishioners who couldn't attend, the parishioners supported the temple's survival and successfully received donations to cover the repair costs of the principal image.
Story 14: Mia's younger sister and Kagura's older sister attack!?
Just as the temple's survival became a reality, Mia and Kagura's expressions changed. The reason was that Mia's younger sister and Kagura's older sister were coming to the temple. Mia's sister, Sara, is loyal to the family's teachings! If she were to arrive, Mia's true nature might be revealed. Kagura's sister, Mikoto, is even more capable than Kagura, and is so strict with her that Kagura is helpless! A great challenge awaits these two, who have rebelled against their family until now.
[Tempuru] Story Summary
Here's a rough outline of the storyline of Tempuru! While retaining the humorous elements of the previous series, Grand Blue, such as facial expressions and reactions, the show replaces the overly quirky vibe and naked male characters with naked female characters, creating a hilarious story that captures the romantic comedy atmosphere! The anime will feature a variety of reaction moves and beautiful female characters, making it a fascinating series! Please give it a watch!
