Saint Oniisan is our peaceful topic of the day. Join us in deep meditation and mindful discussions on this episode of Weeb101

Saint Oniisan was written and illustrated by Hikaru Nakamura and is a unique manga in a lot of ways. Firstly, It is a comedy manga that actually does comedy tastefully and mindfully. Next is the story. It is a story about Jesus and Buddha who have both come down to Earth together on a vacation. They live together and go on trips, and enjoy human pleasures. While this topic might make most people fly off the handle, Saint Oniisan has good comedy that doesn't offend but plays off mythology itself. Very few jokes are targeted towards the deities themselves, and even those aren't offensive. It is a list of chapters that seemingly don't follow any overall plot, but there are callbacks to previous chapters at times. It brings out the ideologies these two people had and it also derives humour from the human concepts of heaven, hell, God, and more. 

Simple things like Jesus loving technology and running a blog, Buddha saving and buying an expensive rice cooker to make fragrant rice or even something like a restaurant waitress telling them that you (customers) are Gods and they think their identities are uncovered. There is also a running gag of Buddha's earlobes being very long and little kids poking his forehead, calling him a "Button Alien". As for Jesus, he randomly turns water into wine or turns things to bread. He specifies that he can only make rye bread and can't make complicated bread like yakisoba. It is hard to explain these jokes through text, of course, so we recommend you read it yourself! There is an anime, which you can check out, but we don't recommend the live-action. It looks.. weird.
