English Dub Review: TenPuru: No One Can Live on Loneliness “What Color Is Your Underwear?”

Overview

A new deadline puts pressure on the temple trainees to prepare for tokudo. As such, Kiki guides them through both conventional and unconventional training. As Christmas approaches, Akagami faces unpleasant memories while Yuzuki tries to cheer him up…

Our Take

Kikki announces they must be pure at all times, starting with white underwear. Since Akemitsu, Yuzuki, and Mia don’t own white underwear she demands they wear no underwear at all. This is unbearably lewd, so they all buy new white underwear immediately. Kikki next announces they must share a bedroom. Kikki remembers Kijo warning her about a secret meeting of Sect Leaders at the temple at the 3-month deadline. After forcing them to share a sauna Kikki claims the training is to expose them to the opposite sex so they eventually become immune to lewd thoughts and closer to enlightenment.

Akemitsu and Mia end up confessing their lewd thoughts as a training exercise, but Yuzuki continues to hide her lust for Akemitsu and jealousy of his friendship with Mia. Kikki gives them Christmas Eve off, though Akemitsu despises Christmas as his father’s girlfriends would violently fight over him every Christmas. Yuzuki takes him gift shopping as a distraction though quickly realizes the shop assistants assume they are on a Christmas date. The other girls discuss the irony of first wanting to get rid of Akemitsu, and now they want him to stay. However, Kagura is shown to secretly view Akemitsu as a nuisance she plans to deal with.

Overall, some new developments are happening as the girls reflect on how they’ve changed since Akagami arrived was cool. Mia straight-up admitting that she’s trying to get him to stare at her boobs was hilarious. We also have another antagonist in the mix, but the real question is what is Kagura trying to accomplish and why is she interfering despite his legit efforts to help everyone in the temple? Hopefully, we’ll find out in the next episode…
