Dear Japanese/Asian religions colleagues: Do you have plans to teach with the new English translation of Saint Young Men ่–โ˜†ใŠใซใ„ใ•ใ‚“? If so, I want to hear from you for a little writing project Iโ€™m working on: Why use it, value in the classroom, lesson plans, etc. DM!pic.twitter.com/kFF9K0WO4J

      I've used the manga and anime before in class, but I haven't looked into the English translation yet. Teaching a course on Buddhism in Japan on Sem.2, so I'll let you know if I am using it.

      I briefly introduced it as an example of Buddhism in popular culture when I taught Intro to Buddhism in the summer and Intro to Japanese Religions this past fall at UCSB! I would love to share my opinions on it for your exciting project! Please let me know how to proceed!

      I played the OVA to a class as an example of alternative ways of approaching religiosity. I also showed students an episode of Noragami and we discussed how they presented different relationships with "the divine"
