Renana

Opening: "Ankoku Tengoku" by Ali Project

Short Summary:
Karin's parents are dead. She lives with her aunt, but always disappoints her with her bad marks. The only thing she's got left from her parents is an old ring she always wears; her only friend is a cat called Shii-chan.
After Shii-chan dies, Karin decides to make a grave for her pet, there she meets Kazune for the first time. She thinks he's a good looking boy, but he reacts to her mourning with a stupid comment and from now on Karin is angry and tries to kick him.
Next day she meets a very cute girl - Himeka. They become friends, but the problem is that Kazune seems to be her cousin and he drives Karin crazy, because he is curious about her ring. He and Himeka raise suspicion Karin could be the Kami they are looking for. Just that moment kKarin's ring starts to glow. She thinks Kazune did this and runs away. Afterwards strange things happen around Karin - she gets good grades in math and physics. When she wishes for a rain shower to come it really happens. Can this all be coincidence?
In the end she meets Himeka and Kazune again. Before she can go mad Kazune tells her to forget about him and that he has got no intention in ruining her current lifestyle. He jsut bids her to be careful when she's alone!
And what happens? When she goes to visit Shii-chan's grave a strange guy shows up...

My quest:

I've read the first three volumes of the manga, because I liked PitaTen a lot, but in my opinion Kami-chama Karin can't reach the same entertainment level. Still the anime is cute so far, nothing special in particular, but typical Koge Donbo cute character design and a good portion of magical girl feeling. Perhaps I will continue watching!
