A monk trying not to wake up while a entire temple's worth of girls sleepwalk around him is the kind of stupid-specific premise that either lands or dies in the first five minutes. Ikko stays conscious through sheer panic and desperation. The special knows exactly what it is and commits to the bit without apology, which is all this kind of comedy needs to work.

Ikko and the girls of Saienji Buddhist Temple enter a game show competition and come away with a prize: a trip to a remote inn. Once they arrive, Ikko is handed a strange challenge, because every one of the girls is sleepwalking and he has to get through it without waking up. The one-episode special mixes comedy, romance, ecchi and supernatural elements for a lighthearted temple getaway.
