Overview

TenPuru is a 2023 Japanese animated comedy about a young man who moves into a Buddhist temple to suppress his romantic impulses, only to find it packed with young women. The setup is classic harem anime: male protagonist, traditional religious setting, plenty of comedic tension between celibacy and desire. The Leans Traditional label fits because the show operates within conventional anime genre codes, presents Buddhism in a positive light, and shows no particular interest in progressive identity themes. There are no DEI signals, no LGBTQ arcs in evidence, and no gender or race subversions. The humor is rooted in old-fashioned awkwardness rather than cultural critique.
