Series Synopsis
Japan is a land of gods who
grant wishes to those who ask. The most powerful and well know deities enjoy a
steady stream of patrons and followers seeking assistance. For a war god named
Yato (voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya) this is not the case.
Without a shrine of his own, Yato is a bit of a deadbeat and has developed quite a reputation of little importance. Still, when the occasional job does come up,
he puts all…okay some of his efforts into seeing it through.
On one such mission
(finding a lost cat) Yato runs into Hiyori Iki (voiced by Maaya Uchida), who saves him from being hit by a car. An act which was meaningless since Yato could have easily dodged it himself. Unfortunately, Hiyori is struck in his place. She survives the accident physically unscathed, however what
happened to her spirit is a lot more annoying.
At complete random, Hiyori’s
soul will leave her body. Though this form allows her to achieve some pretty
amazing feats, it’s still mostly inconvenient. She makes a contract with Yato
to help her get back to normal. He accepts and gets right on it…eventually.
Other issues keep coming up which need to be addressed.
