Kannagi

Synopsis Based on a shounen manga by Takenashi Eri, serialised in Comic REX. Our unlucky protagonist, Jin, uses the trunk of a sacred tree to carve a statue for a school project. When he takes it outside, to his surprise it begins absorbing the surrounding earth and transforms into, hold your breath on this one, a girl! So like all similar setups this guardian deity is pretty pissed that her tree was cut down and lives with Jin while she takes out her anger on squashing bugs....er, cleaning the "Impurities".

Main Character

Nagi (ナギ)

Height: 160 cm

Nagi is a goddess who wakes up after years of slumber with Jin's unexpected help. Her mission as a deity is to cleanse the impurities of the world, but as her powers have weakened over time, her body is easily harmed by them, and she ends up having to do it with the help of Jin and branding an improvised exorcist staff created using a magical girl-themed toy baton.

Zange (ざんげ)

Height: 159 cm

Zange is another goddess and Nagi's twin sister. Opposite to Nagi who had her powers weakened due to her sacred tree being cut down, Zange's tree is still intact and located in a church's courtyard, thus she is still able to catch and cleanse impurities by herself. The fact that she switched her character to that of a Catholic nun, as it is a stronger religion, contributed to her divinity being intact. Despite seemingly being kind and caring on the outside, she usually takes advantage of Nagi's weakened state to torment her.

Tsugumi Aoba (青葉つぐみ)

Height: 162 cm

Jin's childhood friend who also harbors a crush on him. She is concerned about Jin living alone with another girl despite Nagi's fabricated story about being his half-sister.

Jin Mikuriya (御厨仁)

Height: 161 cm

After using a part of a fallen sacred tree to make a sculpture of a girl, he inadvertently brings Nagi back to life. Since then, Nagi lives in his house and counts on his help to hunt down the impurities as he is able to catch them with his bare hands, a task impossible to Nagi due to her weakened state.
