Synopsis:

Sakuna, a goddess accustomed to luxury, is exiled to Hinoe Island, a land teeming with demonic creatures. Stripped of her celestial comforts, she's tasked with reclaiming her heritage as the descendant of powerful deities – a lineage intrinsically linked to the cultivation of rice. Navigating the island's harsh environment, Sakuna must learn to harness her dormant abilities and defend herself alongside Tama, her loyal guardian, and a diverse group of human outcasts. The series explores themes of self-discovery and resilience as they collaborate to transform the wild landscape and confront the island’s monstrous inhabitants. It presents a grounded narrative focused on community, survival, and the forging of new purpose in an unfamiliar world.
