Synopsis
Gay monk Chishin, scarred by past bullying, finds love through rebellious trainee Keiju at his temple.
Due to extreme bullying when he comes out, gay teenager Chishin runs away from home and is welcomed by the monks of a local temple. Feeling welcomed for the first time in his life, he vows to never fall in love and dedicates his life to Buddhism. Years later, Chishin is a monk in that temple, teaching trainees himself. However, a new batch of trainees brings the spirited delinquent Keiju, whose unfiltered words and strong heart shake the temple like a storm. As Keiju learns to love Buddhism and finds his place within the faith through Chishin's teachings, Chishin's own defenses begin to tumble... Can the monk finally learn to love? (Source: MU)
