Matoi Sumeragi is a second-year middle school student and part-time miko (shrine maiden) at Tenman Shrine in Kamaya city. Yuma Kusanagi, Matoi’s friend and coworker, is a girl born into Tenman shrine’s family of Shinto priests and next in line to become head miko.

One day, these two make their way to the shrine from school as usual, only to discover the grounds in ruins and Yuma’s parents collapsed, injured. Then they see a man who is clearly not in his right mind. Yuma instantly performs a divine possession ritual, but it’s not Yuma’s body which the deity enters…

With this, Matoi, who only ever wanted to live an ordinary life, suddenly gains the power to exorcise evil spirits! In order to get back her uninterrupted peaceful days, she decides to try her best in her exorcist activities.

Matoi Sumeragi

Voice Actor: Ayaka Suwa

Fourteen years old, a second-year middle-school student and part-time shrine maiden. Due to her mother disappearing when Matoi was a child, she spent a long time under the care of her grandmother on her father’s side, but she now lives with her father Shingo. She’s very mature for her age and takes care of all the housework in her mother’s stead. She dreams of one day having a ‘normal’ life with both of her parents but, due to her being able to host a deity, she ends up putting all her energy into exorcising evil spirits.

Yuma Kusanagi

Voice Actor: Naomi Oozora

A first-year student in middle school, thirteen years old. The next miko of the famous Tenman shrine. She’s naïve and full of energy, the type of girl who acts on instinct as soon as she gets an idea. She admires the generations of exorcist miko that have inherited Tenman shrine before her, and has never stopped believing that she herself can become just like them. As a result of her taking out the sacred treasures just for fun, Matoi ends up being possessed by a god.
