Synopsis:
The series explores a whimsical world where the deities of Japanese fortune find themselves exiled to the serene landscapes of Awaji Island. Stripped of their heavenly privileges, these seven gods must now earn their way back to the upper realm by fostering goodwill amongst humans. Each god operates with varying degrees of competence and often struggles to understand human desires, leading to unpredictable consequences when granting wishes.
The narrative follows their attempts to accumulate "virtue points" through acts of kindness, navigating the complexities of human emotion and societal expectations. A gentle blend of mythology and everyday life unfolds as they grapple with their new reality, highlighting themes of responsibility, redemption, and the often-unforeseen impact of even well-intentioned actions. The series presents a thoughtful examination of faith and purpose within a uniquely charming setting.
