What happens

Kamichu! (かみちゅ！), short for Kamisama de Chūgakusei (かみさまでちゅうがくせい; lit. 'A Deity As a Middle School Student'), is a Japanese anime television series. Influenced by Shinto, it follows the adventures of teenage goddess Yurie Hitotsubashi and her friends. The series was created by Besame Mucho (ベサメムーチョ, Besamemūcho), which is the joint pen name of producer Tomonori Ochikoshi, director Koji Masunari, and writer Hideyuki Kurata. It was broadcast by the anime television network Animax on its respective networks worldwide, including Japan, East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, where it received its first English-language broadcast. Kamichu! was adapted as a manga serialized in the shōnen manga magazine Dengeki Daioh and collected into two tankōbon volumes. In July 2008, Geneon Entertainment and Funimation announced an agreement to distribute select titles in North America. Although Geneon still retained the license, Funimation would assume exclusive rights to the manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of select titles. Kamichu! was one of several titles involved in the deal, but in August 2011, the rights to the series had expired. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
