Ah My Buddha, known in Japan as Amaenaide yo!! (あまえないでよっ!!?, lit. "Don't Act Spoiled!!"), is a manga series written and illustrated by Toshinori Sogabe that was serialised in Comic Gum magazine. An anime adaptation runs on TV Tokyo's anime satellite channel, AT-X. A second "season" of the manga, named: Amaenaideyo!! MS! was released 3 years later.
The second season of the anime, Amaenaide yo!! Katsu!! (あまえないでよっ!! 喝!!?, lit. "Don't Act Spoiled!! Victory!!"), was shortly released and introduces a new antagonist character, the fifteen-year-old girl, Kazuki Kazusano who is actually very affectionate to Ikkou, unlike the other girls. The second season is also more serious and dramatic than the last one, and focuses more on Hinata's unstable powers, Haruka's childhood years and Kazuki's tricks to get her hand on Ikkou's powers.
The show was broadcast in Japan with an R-15 rating, which is the Japanese equivalent of a 'Restricted' rating. Media Blasters licensed and released both seasons of the anime in North America under the title Ah My Buddha (a title parody of the popular anime/manga Oh My Goddess!), first as six single bilingual DVD volumes throughout 2009, and then as a six-DVD collection in April 2010.Right Stuf Inc. has since rescued the series for a complete collection release under their Lucky Penny label in 2014.
The protagonist of the series is the monk-in-training Ikkou Satonaka, who transforms into a super-monk with the ability to perform mass exorcisms for the girls he lives with (Note: In the anime, he transforms from seeing a naked girl). He lives in the Saienji Temple as a Buddhist priest in training with six other nuns: Haruka Amanogawa, Sumi Ikuina, Hinata and Sakura Sugai, Chitose Nanbu and Yuuko Atouda, each of whom represents one of the bosatsu of the six lower realms of the traditional Buddhist cosmology. Chitose is the main love interest and has a love-hate relationship with Ikkou which is somewhat typical in many other anime, involving numerous misunderstandings, beatings, and angry tirades where the male is clearly at a disadvantage to the female. A side effect of Ikkou using his ultimate power is that immediately afterwards he turns into an even bigger pervert than he normally is. The subject matter of the series is Ikkou's self-destructive power and the powers of the other nuns and their training to control these powers, as well as their (mostly non-romantic) relationships.
