LoveKami -Useless Goddess-

LoveKami -Useless Goddess- is a story about Sho Narumi, who tries to rehabilitate a troublesome goddess and protect his hometown in a small-town area of Tokyo. After countless goddesses descended on Japan, most learned to live peacefully among humans, but those who refuse to follow the rules are called Aragami. Sho finds one collapsed in the street and discovers she is responsible for the frequent power outages in his neighborhood.

Goddesses and humans

The goddesses appeared at a time when people had lost their dreams and faith. Amaterasu Omikami brought them to the human world to learn about it, leading to the Divine Education Act. Through the act, goddesses learned to live and communicate with humans, and the exchange between the two helped reveal the many colors of the world.

The goddesses

Akane is an Aragami who skips school and can manipulate electricity, but her power only makes it malfunction. When she gets angry or irritated, she accidentally causes power outages, sometimes almost every day somewhere in town. She wants to control her abilities, but her attempts often spiral out of control; she sees the resulting trouble as natural for an Aragami. Stubborn and mischievous, she avoids instructions she does not understand, teases Sho by trying to seduce him and sometimes pulls pranks or tries to make Maika jealous.

Inori, the local earth goddess, is sent to rehabilitate Akane for damaging the town and breaking the Divine Education Act. Serious, focused and polite, she is also innocent, clumsy and easy-going. She brings heavy rain to town when angry, and although she rarely loses her temper, the damage she causes then far surpasses Akane's. Inori worries that she has no particular advantage over other goddesses and dislikes being called a “dirt goddess.”

Sho's childhood friend

Maika is Sho's junior, landlady and close childhood friend. A fashionable girl who loves makeup, she is also diligent and capable, and has feelings for Sho but cannot bring herself to confess. She attends school while working with her mother as the landlady of the apartment building. Although she sometimes says she does not care if the old building is demolished, she takes looking after the apartments seriously and wants to keep living there with Sho. She can get jealous when Akane or Inori grows close to him, and despite seeming familiar with the adult world, she blushes when Sho sees her underwear.
