KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World

Yukito Urabe takes part in a ceremony to take over his father’s cult under the pretence that the all-powerful deity Mitama would appear to save him. However, as the ceremony ends with the youngster drowning, he seeks to be reincarnated in a place devoid of religion or gods.

returning to a wholly different, non-spiritual world. He meets a rebellious young woman named Aruaru, who shows him about her hamlet. His idealistic view of this society, however, is quickly dispelled as he sees a public group suicide and learns about the nation’s end-of-life system, which allows the government to mandate the death of any person at any time.

Soon later, Aruaru and her sister are kidnapped against their will to be put to death, which prompts Yukito to attempt to save them but to no effect. When they are in danger, Yukito remembers his father’s advice and prays to Mitama to help them. A young lady appears in the sky, seemingly responding to his appeal, and kills everyone who hurt Yukito and his comrades. The girl identifies herself as Mitama, which surprises Yukito.
