English Basically the very mundane story of a girl in elementary school who becomes a goddess overnight. She doesn't know what, she doesn't know how, but she just is. And as time passes, she slowly learns what her powers are, what her duties are, that she has to improve her grades in school... This is an ordinary life story spiced up with the supernatural – in this case, elements of shinto (you learn a few colorful things here). It's slow, non-violent, with nice animation, and a very good, fitting soundtrack. If you're wondering how a shy little girl copes with the trials and tribulations not only of divinity, but also of growing up (we're in the second year of primary school, so it's a very gradual coming of age), if you're in the mood for a tired setting without any crazy twists and turns... This is the one. A better 3 stars. ()
