A little more Kamiarizuki no Kodomo
In the story we will follow Kanna, a girl who after the death of her mother can no longer enjoy her only passion until then, the race track, taking her on a fantastic journey to overcome her loss.
For this, Kanna befriends Shiro, a rabbit-shaped messenger of the gods and Yasha, an ogre boy, with whom she will cross the boundary between people and gods upon reaching the Izumo region.
Izumo, now known as Shimane Prefecture, is a region of Japan rich in mythology, as according to legend, in October all the gods gather here to celebrate Kamiarizuki (the month in which there are gods). The rest of the country recognizes this celebration in a different way, since they call it Kannazuki (the month in which there are no gods).
