No, your eyes are not deceiving you my son. Behold the Manga Jesus in all his glory.
This is way ridiculous... Apparently Jesus needed a bit of a makeover in order to appeal to the younger crowd these days, and what better way to do that than to give him a Manga makeover. Personally, I find this to be extremely offense -- not as a Christian, but as a manga fan. This is just weird...
But if the Church does need some help marketing, allow me to make a few suggestions for future storylines which might help you guys market the Son of God a little bit better:
- Jesus vs Baikin Man
- Detective Conan: Who Crucified him?
- Death Note: "I wrote his name down! Why is he still here?!"
In all seriousness though, I'm very curious to see if this kind of "repackaging" of Bible stories offends any Christians out there. I mean, is Christianity a religion? Or is it now an industry, complete with marketing and PR departments?
