Teenage Goddess

Thus begins Yurie Hitotsubashi's new life, and the shy schoolgirl is completely uncertain about her sudden divinity. Yurie's best friend is little help: Mitsue is hardly impressed, true to her level-headed nature - in the world of Kamichu, gods and spirits are everywhere. But their classmate Matsuri has other ideas. Quickly declaring herself Yurie's new "best friend", she helps Yurie discover her powers - releasing a tornado in the process.Accompanied by the loyal Mitsue and enthusiastic Matsuri - who tries to replace her family's Shinto shrine god with Yurie for profit - as well as her supernatural friends, like the kooky disillusioned god Yashima-sama with rock-star dreams, and the cat Tama, Yurie gradually comes to terms with her powers and newfound responsibilities. From granting wishes and fending off bad luck and hardship to handling aliens for the government, Yurie has to learn to protect her village even as she juggles school and an unrequited crush on clueless calligraphy talent Kenji.
