English Dub Review: TenPuru: No One Can Live on Loneliness “Let’s Establish Facts!”

Overview

All the girls gather together to discuss the terrible curse placed on their scale that makes it seem like they weigh more than they should. Akagami, Yuzuki, and Mia begin their training for tokudo to become proper priests…

Our Take

Kurage is excited about becoming an adult once she enters high school. She also enjoys all the changes around the temple since Akemitsu moved in. In a secret girls-only meeting the girls reluctantly admit they are gaining weight since Akemitsu began cooking all their meals, so they decide to start exercising. When this fails to get results they decide to diet, though this would mean admitting to Akemitsu they need smaller portions. At that moment Akemitsu appears with homemade sweets, so the girls decide to just stop checking their weight so often.

Kurage wonders if she should seduce Akemitsu when she is old enough. Akemitsu believes Yuzuki is angry and might execute him with an axe, but it turns out to be her new intensive training to become head priestess, to his relief. To support her Akemitsu agrees to undergo the same training, followed by Mia’s volunteering. Kikki reveals it usually takes a year just to become a priestess, yet Yuzuki is trying for 6 months so she can become head priestess by the deadline. Kijo visits with news that, for unexplained reasons, Yuzuki must successfully become a priestess within 3 months or he will end their fake engagement.

Overall, much like a previous episode, we now have a goal and a sense of urgency as to why certain things need to happen for the Temple to stay afloat. With the alleged “fiance” Hoan now demanding Yuzuki to obtain priestess status within 3 months instead of 6 which is quite a cruel stipulation. I guess that he wants her out of his hair so that he can get with some other girl but we’ll see…
