| Akemitsu is abandoned by his womanising father. Years later Akemitsu studies to be a civil servant and, refusing to be anything like his father, refuses to date. One day he meets a cute girl named Yuzuki and falls in love. This sends him mad as his repressed lechery emerges. Deciding he is cursed with his father’s perversion he enrolls as a monk and joins the male-only Mikazuki Temple. Alas, the first person he meets there is Yuzuki, half dressed, causing him to desperately propose marriage before trying to escape and falling down a well. Yuzuki is actually there for an arranged marriage meeting with another man, confusing her. Akemitsu reappears concussed from his fall, making her think he is a lecherous ghost as he staggers around terrifying the women who live there. After he is captured it transpires the temple is now a nunnery for priestesses. Akemitsu leaves but Yuzuki, feeling sorry for him, convinces him to stay overnight to get the morning bus. Unfortunately, after realising his family name is Akegami, it transpires his father owes the temple ¥20 million. Akemitsu is horrified to learn he must now live at the temple as a dogsbody until the debt is paid. ||||||

| Seeing the disrepair of the temple due to the missing money Akemitsu swears to fix everything. Yuzuki is convinced of his pure heart but the others decide to expose him so Yuzuki will kick him out. Tsukuyo is chosen to distract him with her body so he messes up his chores, yet despite repressing his lechery he completes chores perfectly. Tsukuyo opts for seduction and ambushes him in the bath, but she panics at his nudity and an accidental fall ends in them actually kissing, witnessed by Yuzuki who asks Akemitsu to leave. Everyone celebrates but Yuzuki starts avoiding Tsukuyo, though this turns out to be embarrassment as Yuzuki cannot stop lecherously thinking about Akemitsu’s nude body. Tsukuyo realises she may have misjudged him. Akemitsu resigns himself to homelessness until Yuzuki tracks him down, explaining she only meant to order him to leave the bathroom, not the temple. Tsukuyo apologises to him, but adds 5million to his debt for stealing her first kiss. Mia is furious Akemitsu returned again. Kurage gives him advice that lechery exists in all humans; even Buddha had children, so possibly even Yuzuki is a little lecherous. For fun she tricks him into opening the bathroom door on a naked Tsukuyo, who beats him up. Unable to stand the depravity he brought into their temple Mia confronts Akemitsu. ||||||

It transpires Mia is a foreign student and Kagura her mischievous attendant who causes Mia’s breasts to fall into Akemitsu’s hands during the duel. Mia passes out from embarrassment and faces a penalty from Kagura’s book of lewd penances. Akemitsu decides her penance is to lend him the book to help him repress his lechery. Mia mistakenly thinks he wants sex and enters his room prepared to have sex with him, only to be humiliated to learn he wanted the book. Kagura traps them in a store room where Mia blurts out a warning to stay away in case he arouses her. This leads to a confession that her family have their own curse of lechery, so she came to the all-female temple to repress it, only for Akemitsu to show up as a temptation. Realising they are alike they agree to support each other in rejecting lust through the penances in Kagura’s book. Yuzuki forgets about her rescheduled marriage meeting, on which the temple is relying to stay open, so Akemitsu rushes to get her there on time but they end up trapped in the back of a truck. Still determined to make it Yuzuki decides to use the temporary privacy to change into her yukata, which requires two people. ||||||

Kijo is sympathetic but concludes Mikazuki temple should close. Akemitsu resorts to begging on Yuzuki’s behalf. Yuzuki panics as it sounds like a marriage proposal. Kijo agrees to a fake three year engagement so the temple stays open, but saving it from financial ruin will remain Yuzuki’s responsibility. Kijo meets with the priestess, revealed to be Ryukoku’s head priestess Aoba who manipulated the meeting after realising Akemitsu is an Akagami. Due to the late hour they are forced to stay at the only available hotel, a Love Hotel. Akemitsu struggles to repress his lechery, especially after he correctly suspects Yuzuki watched a pornographic movie while he showered. For her safety he decides drastic measures are necessary.

In a secret girls only meeting the girls reluctantly admit they are gaining weight since Akemitsu began cooking all their meals, so they decide to start exercising. When this fails to get results they decide to diet, though this would mean admitting to Akemitsu they need smaller portions. At that moment Akemitsu appears with homemade sweets, so the girls decide to just stop checking their weight so often. Kurage wonders if she should seduce Akemitsu when she is old enough. Akemitsu believes Yuzuki is angry and might execute him with an axe, but it turns out to be her new intensive training to become head priestess, to his relief.

Yuzuki still refuses to surrender her phone so Akemitsu angrily asks Tsukuyo out without explanation.
