Watashi wa Jezutsu desu



Japanese Manga artist and Anglican priest wannabe Ajinbayo Akinsiku has transformed the bible, from Genesis to Revelations, into a Japanese Manga comic; interpreting the Son of God as a hard-edged Samurai with a big sword and a demeanor to use it.

Christ as the existential misanthropic hero? Sounds like Kurosawa meets Clint Eastwood on a bad day. After all, he does die for all our sins. That could make one slightly irritable.

In this attempt to make the bible more accessible to nerds, in true Manga style, they’ve got to make the Virgin Mary - aka Sailor Moon – a hot MILF, circa 1980 Catholic school girl: rolled up Harajuku socks, pink cotton undies and poses that, well… hey if you’re hanging it out like that, how could you not get preggas?

Mary's baby shower?



Moses and the burning bush?
