I Inherited a Temple, and the Tokyo Housewives Are So Devout

At eighteen, Bujie inherited his family temple. Armed with orthodox Buddhist arts for exorcising evil spirits, he could easily deal with all kinds of supernatural disturbances: cleansing haunted places, protecting homes, and guiding the souls of the dead onward. His methods were deft and his features handsome, but he was naive and knew nothing of worldly ways. He thought it was just ordinary work: visiting homes to perform rites and earn merit. But the elegant, gentle wives of Tokyo were all unusually “devout” toward him. They always found some excuse to keep him at their homes, expressing their faith in the young master through an affection and enthusiasm of their own. Tender entanglements, unabashed affection, and secret longing left Bujie, new to the secular world, completely at a loss.
