Kamichu!
Kamichu! (かみちゅ！), short for Kamisama de Chūgakusei (かみさまでちゅうがくせい; lit. 'A Deity As a Middle School Student'), is a Japanese anime television series. Influenced by Shinto, it follows the adventures of teenage goddess Yurie Hitotsubashi and her friends. The series was created by Besame Mucho (ベサメムーチョ, Besamemūcho), which is the joint pen name of producer Tomonori Ochikoshi, director Koji Masunari, and writer Hideyuki Kurata. It was broadcast by the anime television network Animax on its respective networks worldwide, including Japan, East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, where it received its first English-language broadcast. Kamichu! was adapted as a manga serialized in the shōnen manga magazine Dengeki Daioh and collected into two tankōbon volumes.
In July 2008, Geneon Entertainment and Funimation announced an agreement to distribute select titles in North America. Although Geneon still retained the license, Funimation would assume exclusive rights to the manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of select titles. Kamichu! was one of several titles involved in the deal, but in August 2011, the rights to the series had expired.
Kamichu! is set in spring 1983 until 1984, in the city of Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, on the shores of Japan's Inland Sea. Many of the temples and landmarks shown in the anime are real locations in the city.
Yurie Hitotsubashi is a shy ordinary middle school girl who suddenly discovers that she has become a kami, a goddess in the Shinto sense, overnight. She has no idea what sort of goddess she is or what her powers are. Her friends give her the nickname Kamichu, a portmanteau of kami (神; "god") and chūgakusei (中学生; "middle school student"). Yurie meets many other divinities and spirits, while learning the ways of the gods become a great goddess herself. During the course of the series, she learns about being a better goddess as a person.
