Yurie is just an ordinary middle school girl in the 1980s, until overnight she finds out that she is a Kami, or God in the Shinto sense. When Yurie announces this fact to her best friend Mitsue, their classmate Mitsuri takes advantage of Yurie’s new divinity to revitalize her family’s dying shrine. Yurie is nicknamed Kamichu and now must go on with her godly duties while going to school and winning the heart of her crush, Kenji; while Mitsuri tries to replace her old shrine god Yashima with her.

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. ()
