I read a lot of manga, but I’m not reviewing them all, mostly just the really popular, terrible or wonderful ones. Because priorities, right? Anyway, I totally didn’t have high expectations for this Bonnouji, which is apparently also known as Worldly Desires Temple. Actually, I think I rarely start manga with high expectations, because there’s basically never any way of knowing what you’re going to get when you start one. Bonnouji has precisely the sort of story that I’ve been craving: one about people in their early twenties trying to figure life out.
Man, I really hope they make a jdrama of this. So Bonnouji is about people in there upper twenties. The heroine, Ozawa, has just been dumped by her boyfriend of five years, and is kind of at a loss. She expected that she would be getting married, but now she’s single for the first time in so long. Ozawa bumps into a guy in her building, Oyamada, and is fascinated by his weird room. The two develop a friendship and eventually a romance.
What I love is sort of how unromantic the romance is. Ozawa and Oyamada are both really weird, and that’s why they work. Being in love doesn’t change either of them. Oyamada doesn’t get a makeover to be cooler; he’ll probably always wear giant glasses that dominate his face. They strike up this friendship, in which they’re constantly playing weird games (not dirty – get your minds out of the gutter) and getting drunk. They love each other for who they really are, and I ship it. Actually, this is one of the rare instances where I totally believe a relationship where the couple doesn’t fight.
So Bonnouji is the name of Oyamada’s apartment. They think of it as a magical place, and it kind of is, because anything goes. When she first sees it, Oyamada has porn all over the place, along with a ton of random bric-a-brac. He tells her why, and it sounds like such a lie but it’s actually not. Oyamada’s older brother is traveling around and sends Oyamada strange and interesting things he finds on his journeys, including a whole lot of porn. Where most girls would have seen the room and gone running, Ozawa is amused and offers Oyamada her ex-boyfriend’s secret porn stash she found after the breakup. Of course, she’s also charmed by Oyamada’s collection of toys and alcohol.
The characters of Bonnouji spend a lot of time drunk. Considering that the drunken honesty scenes in kdramas are my favorite thing ever, is it any wonder that I loved this? Bonnouji has such a realistically quirky depiction of life and it’s just so cute. It’s pretty short, sadly, but it made me ship the sort of romance that I usually don’t, and I’m so touched by this adorable story.
Aside from the whimsical nature of the apartment and the gifts from the brother, it’s totally real life. The characters have jobs, which stress them out, thus the after work drinking. They’re incredibly strange, but it’s not like they’re not managing to function as real people. They’re living mature, adult lives during the day and being silly and awesome at night. Basically, this is the best adult life can be. :-p
Now to go see what else Eda Aki has written because I NEED IT.

“Diputus setelah pacaran 5 tahun karena bicara pernikahan,
artinya aku tidak cukup untuk jadi pasangan seumur hidup?”
—Ozawa—
Pertemuan canggung itu dimulai ketika Ozawa hendak meminjam toilet di kamar Oyamada. Dari pertemuan tersebut, hati Ozawa yang sedang sepi dan terpuruk setelah putus dari pacarnya, malah terpikat dengan kamar Oyamada yang sangat eksentrik dan dipenuhi berbagai barang unik dan antik. Bonnouji atau Kuil Nafsu Duniawi, begitulah kamar itu disebut. Bersama dengan Shimamoto, teman sejak kecil Oyamada yang sering mampir, hari-hari menarik Ozawa dan Oyamada di Bonnouji pun, dimulai.
Membaca Bonnouji sungguh membuat saya lupa waktu!
Sebenarnya tidak ada yang begitu istimewa dari tampilan fisik komik ini. Gambar dan kovernya hanya masuk dalam kategori cukup bagus. Terjemahannya pun lebih memilih menggunakan kata ‘gak’ dari pada ‘nggak’ (*yang mana tidak cocok dengan selera saya). Tapi jika dibandingkan dengan cerita roman serta kehidupan sehari-hari para tokohnya yang mengalir lembut dan terkadang diwarnai riak-riak yang membuat terbahak, ketidakistimewaan dan ketidakcocokan yang saya sebutkan di atas jadi terasa minor sekali. Pengarang sukses menyuguhkan ide cerita yang sangat sederhana menjadi cerita yang tidak menjemukan dan sangat layak ditunggu. Mengingat jumlah volumenya juga, komik ini jadi wajib dikoleksi oleh mereka yang menyukai cerita seinen, roman, dan slice-of-life.
Jadi, apakah Kuil Nafsu Duniawi itu akan membawa Ozawa pada cinta sejati atau hanya cinta duniawi lain yang salah dan penuh hasrat?? Saya sangat menantikan akhir yang memuaskan dari 2 volume sisanya ;)

This was so cute man! It's about a 26 year old office lady who split from her bf of 5 years and befriends with a computer programmer. The two really get on well with no pointless drama involved. it's honestly a great change to see no stupid love triangle nonsense making an appearance because goddamn there's way too many of them out there! There's even no stupid misunderstandings involved either and reading the whole 35 chapters was relaxing enough to indulge, lads!
I think this manga would give anyone a nice boost if they feel their life is beyond hectic or if someone in their lives said something to disappoint them! Why can't we have a couple of Zenjis in the world man? Lol
Anyways if you need to read a feel good manga folks, this is one for u to check out!

cute lil romance lol i liked it

Awww, this was an adorable and funny manga.
There was only one thing that I found weird, and that was how the time went by. It feels like only weeks or months have gone by, but during the last chapters of this volume, she is talking about it being 2 years since the break-up with her boyfriend.... Which kind of ruined the manga for me, as for me it didn't feel that way. And it made me re-evaluate what I read, something I don't really like.
But, the characters are really fun. I loved how we saw from both perspectives how they thought about things. Oyamada was really funny and it was soooo cute to see him blush every time Ozawa popped in his apartment, and how he was stumbling around trying to make sense of his feelings. Which Ozawa didn't even know about her feelings (at least from what I could see) until a bit later. But these 2 are truly a match made in heaven. They are soooo adorable together.
I loved that Oyamada worked from home and apparently took care of the stuff his brother dumped at his place (and seriously, what is up with all the stuff. Sex dolls but also supernatural stuff? Or flags and wine?). I do wonder what htey are planning to do with all the stuff. I guess sell it, or do something with it later. At least I would hope, because I can see this go out of hand very fast.
Ozawa was a nice character, though I didn't like how she was drunk quite often. It felt just a bit off, I don't mind drinking, but yeah... this was just stupid.
I also wish she could be a bit more assertive and say no to people. She often works long hours until almost midnight, and I wish she would just break free. This job isn't healthy for her, or anyone else.
We also have the brother of Oyamada and his friend Shimapon. I really liked them both, they were funny characters and I can't wait to see more of them.
The art was pretty decent, not always pretty, especially in regards to characters, but it was still good enough to be able to see stuff happening.
Considering what happened near the end, I will be sure to continue reading this manga. And I would also recommend this manga to all who are looking for a funny, fluffy manga.

(stejná recenze u každého dílu)
Kresba vypadala moc hezky, akorát trochu haprovala u.. ehm intimějších scén, které se tam objevily pouze parkrát, takže to nebylo nic, co by nějak příběh narušovalo. A ještě mně vadila jedna malá drobnůstka- všechny postavy vypadaly moc mladě na to, jak byly staré. Díky tomu mě často mátlo jejich chování, které se normálně k této věkové skupině hodí.
Mimochodem mě překvapilo, že se tam opravdu objevila ukázka aktu a všechny polibky byly také víc vášnivější a drsnější. Je fakt, že se to dalo nejspíše očekávat, když je to manga pro starší.
Nápad s posíláním dárků se mi velice líbil, protože ukazoval, že v každém dospělém se najde malé dítě, které si chce hrát s různými krávovinkami.:D
Líbil se mi přirozený vývoj mezi hlavními postavami a i uvěřitelné první setkání. To se jen tak nestává. :D
Trošičku mě mrzelo, že na konci nebyla Ozawina svatba, ale místo svatba její spolupracovnice. Která byla naštěstí vtipně podaná, takže jsem to autorce (možná autorovi?) odpustila.
Obálky vypadají pěkně, jediná výtka je ten veliký nápis, který mohl být menší, a my si mohli užívat obrázku.

Aufmachung
Heute fang ich mal mit einem Lob für die Buchbindung an. Man konnte den Manga sehr leicht seit weit aufbiegen ohne Leserillen zu bekommen. Zählt nicht in die Bewertung, ist mir aber positiv aufgefallen.
Zum Zeichenstil kann man vor allem sagen, dass er ungewöhnlich und recht einfach gehalten ist. Die Charaktere wirken stilbedingt gar nicht so alt, wie sie sind.
Den Erzählstil mochte ich sehr, mal ist er bildhafter, mal wird mit viel Text gearbeitet. Beides transportiert die Story hervorragend.
Fazit
Mittlerweile bin ich ein Fan von Slice of Life Manga. Dieser hat mir wieder gezeigt, wieso.
Die Geschichte ist witzig und läd zum Wohlfühlen ein. Dennoch weiß man nie so richtig was als nächstes kommt, da die Päckchen, die Oyamada von seinem Bruder erhält wahre Überraschungen sind, die schon mal äußerst skurril ausfallen können und Einfluss auf die Handlung nehmen.
Der Fokus liegt auf den Charakteren und deren Umgang miteinander. Was die Protagonisten betrifft so waren diese mir sofort sympathisch. Alles ist herzlich und dramafrei. Genau das, was man zum entspannen und abschalten so braucht.
Die Reihe wird in drei Bänden abgeschlossen sein und ich für meinen Teil könnte mich zeitweise auch im Bonnouji wohlfühlen.

This is such a refreshing Manga! I have not enjoyed an awkward slice of life romance like this in so long. Finally a romance that doesn't take place in a high school. Their awkward reactions to each other’s behavior are pure gold. It's going to be hard for the next two volumes to live up to this work of art.

I remember I read this manga a long time ago and I’m gonna add it as a read for this year, it’s a cute manga, I enjoyed reading it.
If you’re looking for good shoujo with a good plot this one is.
I don’t quite remember anything about it but I will post another more detailed review after I re-read it.

Drawn in a style reminiscent of a printed version of a web comic, the story is interesting and definitely for the older crowd

( This manga reading challenge is taking over my books readings... help..me )
This manga is nothing more than a very refreshing and chill sweet romance story between an office lady and a programmer who works at home. His house is called 'Bounnouji' which translates to 'Temptation Temple', as it's so full of miscellaneous items sent to him by his brother. We follow these main characters as the romance between them develops with realistic and funny moments.

A simple sweet story about a girl who have just broken up and a guy (her neighbor) whom room has literally everything. She found solace in his room after spending with each other talking about everything. I really like how the story is in slow paced/ slow burn and so full of sweetness between those two.

I came across this book ... actually I'm not certain how, whether it was recommended somewhere or I stumbled across it on a manga site. In any event it is an enjoyable slice of life type story of two people who meet, starting seeing one another and form a romance. There is nothing particularly striking about the story, but it is an enjoyable one with flashes of humour along the way

Kisah yang sederhana, dengan artwork yang manis untuk pembaca dewasa XDD
Dengan kejadian2 singkat yang terkesan biasa saja namun membuat cerita ini berjalan dengan baik. Ide awalnya cukup baik, unboxing paket2 yang ada dan paket tsb tidak diketahui apa isinya.

February 16, 2023Couple of goofy silly people doing goofy silly (and often drunken) things in a goofy silly room. I like this, it’s very understated but the dynamic between the two leads is quirky in a grounded and realistic way, makes for a fun little read! I’ll be seeing it through the other two volumes.

An okay romance comedy. I do appreciate they're adults and just low key everyday life but nothing made me laugh super loud, or feel an emotional connection, was just okay. Art is fine. Overall fine....

I liked this story a lot, but I guess the fact I trailed off reading it meant it didn't get 4 stars.
Refreshing characters, dialogue and small stakes but interesting plot.
Odd-couple story.

REVIEW UNTUK VOLUME 1-3
Ugggh, this is a very good manga!!! Saya sukaaaa banget!!! Rasanya, bagi saya, manga ini lebih cocok targetnya untuk orang dewasa alias josei atau seinen.
Genrenya sendiri slice of life, romansa dan komedi. Alurnya sangat tenang dan melenakan. Topiknya pun lebih dekat dan nyata bagi saya yang sudah dewasa. Kedua tokoh utama, Ozawa dan Oyamada, sangat mudah untuk saya sukai dan dukung. Kisah mereka sangat yang dimulai dari orang asing lalu menjadi teman, kemudian pacaran sampai akhirnya mengalir dengan baik dan membuat saya percaya karena tidak ada yang namanya diantara mereka.
Khusus buat Oyamada, duh aduh, dia tipe kesukaaan sayaa banget!!! Agak culun, super baik, super manis dan super sayang sama pacarnya. Waaaaa, saya mau Oyamada!!!
Ehem. Jadi, saya sangat merekomedasikan manga ini buat kalian yang mau cerita yang manis dan menghibur tanpa harus membaca berjikid-jilid volume manga. Jadi bagi yang belum pernah membaca manga atau agak segan membaca manga silakan dicoba dengan membaca Bonnouji. Karena manga ini, menurut saya, adalah manga paket lengkap untuk genre kontemporer; slice of life, komedi, romansa dan hanya memiliki 3 volume.
*Rereading for second time.
Saya masih suka banget sama manga miniseries ini. Hanya dengan 3 volume namun rasanya sudah sangat pas dan membuat saya jatuh hati dengan para karakternya. Tapii, saya lihat sepertinya manga ini masih ditujukan untuk remaja; hm, menurut saya pribadi sih manga ini lebih cocok dibaca oleh para orang dewasa karena kontennya yang memang lebih cocok ditujukan pada orang-orang dewasa termasuk tentang masalah jodoh, pekerjaan, hobi yang 18+ dan juga percintaan ala orang dewasa.

It's a great slice of life based around a chance connection between two adults in the same apartment building. One of whom happens to have a brother who sends entirely too many weird curios from around the world.
September 26, 2014
If you ask r/manga for a romance recommendation, there's a 99.9% chance that you'll see this title in at least two of the responses with a few more children replies attesting to its greatness. I'm not overly ecstatic over Bonnouji, but it's not bad either. It follows the development of romance between Oyamada and Ozawa, and that's all there is to it. There is nothing than can be called conflict between them. It's just so... chill and so natural. It doesn't have any drama at all, as in zit, nada! It feels so... weird, I'm not used to it! That said, it was kinda flat actually, but enjoyable at the same time.
