Anime Like TenPuru: No Way, Why Is It So Big… / You Mustn’t Touch That
These two Blu-ray extras exist for exactly one reason: to get the temple's residents into situations the TV broadcast would never have survived, and they know it. The episode titles alone tell you the register, "No Way, Why Is It So Big..." and "You Mustn't Touch That...", both playing the misunderstanding for absurdity rather than heat. The cast chemistry from the main series comes through completely intact, same escalating panic, same deadpan reactions to nonsense that would end a normal person, and the comedy stays surreal enough that you laugh before you blush. Be warned: the censorship stickers are back and they are aggressive, so if you came purely for the payoff you will be arguing with a piece of digital tape. It also spreads its attention unevenly, with a few housemates barely getting a look in. Twenty-odd minutes of the show doing bits with zero plot obligations, which is precisely what an OVA should be.
SYNOPSIS
Akemitsu Tanaka thought becoming a Buddhist monk would mean quiet contemplation and spiritual growth. Instead, he finds himself living at Misoguigumi Temple surrounded by gorgeous women training to become nuns, and every single day tests his vows in ways he never anticipated. Between accidental physical contact, compromising situations, and the girls' complete obliviousness to how their actions affect him, maintaining his resolve feels impossible. These special episodes push the comedy into overdrive as the temple's daily life becomes increasingly chaotic. Tanaka constantly finds himself caught between his genuine religious aspirations and the relentless reality of his surroundings. The other residents seem determined, whether intentionally or not, to make his celibate lifestyle as challenging as humanly possible. If you love romantic comedies built entirely on ridiculous misunderstandings and physical comedy, where the protagonist's suffering is played for maximum laughs, this delivers exactly what it promises. The humor is shameless and unapologetic, never pretending to be anything other than pure, silly fun.
