Satonaka Ikkou, a 16 year old boy, is a first year trainee at the Saienji Buddhist Temple. He was sent there by his parents to be trained by his grandmother, the Saienji Priestess. At the temple he finds himself surrounded by beautiful female priestesses-in-training. Upon seeing a girl naked, Ikko has the ability to turn into a super-monk, performing massive exorcisms for the good of the temple.

Characters and Voice Actors:

- Main:

Chitose Nanbu

Birthday: November 7

Blood type: A

Height: 163 cm

BWH: 95-58-85

Represents the Human Realm, although she has a crush on Ikkou, she constantly denies it. Even though she acts nice much of the time, she fails to admit her crush to herself or Ikkou, often harming him when others flirt with him, overall a stereotypical tsundere.

She is usually the first to put Ikkou down as low as possible at times as well as beat him with little provocation. She claims to have no hobbies initially, although she enjoys horror films.

She is one of the characters in the series that is harassed by Yuuko for her large cup size, perhaps more frequently than the others.

In early episodes there is a running gag to the question of where she used to live, one of the clues being that the entire towns businesses (post office, movie rental, clothing store, etc.) is located in one small two story building.

Ikkou Satonaka

Is the main character of the series. Ikkou is able to release a powerful but uncontrollable power when confronted with his earthly desires. Each time, the aftermath of his awakening,he will bear a face of lust,and will "attack" Chitose,who always respond with attacks that knock him out. He is always gutless when it comes to the girls he lives with. Especially with the case of Chitose. He is what would be figuratively called a doormat even up to the end of the second season. In some episodes he is struck by the other characters more than a half dozen times before the halfway part of an episode. Some times he brings it on himself but for the most part he takes it like an idiot.

BWH: 101-58-90

Represents the Devas Realm (Heaven Realm), and is the most powerful exorcist of the group (excluding times when Ikkou awakened). She flirts with Ikkou on more than one occasion to get a response only to sit back and watch when he gets beaten by the other girls. She has the biggest cup size of all the novice nuns. She seems to take most everything in good humor, and might even come off as a ditz, however, she is more intelligent than she looks.
