TenPuru

Akemitsu Akagami has tried to outrun his family's reputation by throwing himself into studying and part-time jobs, hoping to live a quieter life. That plan falls apart the moment he meets Yuzuki Aoba and is hit by instant attraction, which clashes with his vow to avoid worldly desires. Seeking discipline, he signs up at a temple only to discover it's actually a convent populated by three stunning triplet sisters and a couple of charming freeloaders. The show plays out as a rom-com with frequent misunderstandings, slapstick setups, and scenes that test Akemitsu's resolve without revealing any big twists or finales.

Released in 2023, TenPuru was created by Yohei Kashii and Kimitake Yoshioka and presented as an animated comedy. The cast includes Masayuki Akasaka as Akemitsu, Aimi as Yuzuki, Yu Serizawa, Nanami Yamashita, and Madoka Asahina in prominent voice roles.

The series did not rack up major industry awards, and it wasn't a big contender during the usual anime award seasons. Instead it drew attention mostly from genre fans and online communities who discuss seasonal releases.

TenPuru found a modest audience among viewers who like ecchi-leaning rom-coms, especially those amused by harem and "suddenly surrounded by attractive people" premises. Its temple setting and the contrast between spiritual ideals and sexual comedy made it an easy reference in niche discussions about lighthearted, fanservice-forward anime, though it hasn't crossed into mainstream pop culture.

Critical response has been mixed, reflected in a 5.8/10 user score from a small number of votes. Reviewers and viewers tend to praise the energetic voice cast and comedic timing, while pointing out that the show leans heavily on fanservice and familiar rom-com beats. Themes center on family reputation, temptation versus personal discipline, and how an awkward protagonist copes when his attempts at self-improvement collide with absurd, flattering distractions.
