Synopsis of Temple
Akemitsu Akegami was always told by his father that "no one can live alone"... but he is very determined. After all, his father sure as hell didn't mean it with the best of intentions, and Akemitsu has no desire to become like that creep. But when a chance encounter with a young woman leaves him with too impure thoughts, he decides to do what he must: become a Buddhist monk and renounce worldly customs. But the temple he decides to dedicate himself to... is it full of women? And that same young lady is also there? What can a man do?
