The Failure at God School (神さま学校の落ちこぼれ, Kami-sama Gakkō no Ochikobore) is a Japanese manga series written by Hyūganatsu and illustrated by Modomu Akagawara.

Synopsis

[edit]

In contemporary Japan, the role of kami, is bestowed upon humans with supernatural powers called himiko who hold a state diploma and are then employed at shrines throughout the country. Nagi's grandmother was a goddess, but since her accidental death, no one has come forward to replace her at the town's temple. Nagi's twin brother Takeru looks an ideal candidate. However, he had remained secluded in his room since the tragedy, communicating with his sister only through his telepathic and telekinetic abilities. Lacking such powers herself, Nagi would develop a technique to cut short these mental intrusions when they become too insistent because even though Takeru is a recluse, he's very talkative.

One morning, Nagi discovers her neighborhood in turmoil. A little boy, also destined to become a kami, had vanished. She sets out to find him and discovers him unconscious in the nearby forest. However, when she tries to bring him back, she is stopped by an opposing force. Taking a desperate gamble, she uses her Anti-Takeru Psychic Defense to repel the attack and it works. Nagi unwittingly proves that she has supernatural powers, and finds herself unwillingly enrolled into god training school.
