Kotone Ranmaru

Kisaragi Saya is a happy, small-town schoolgirl who spends peaceful days with her friends. She mostly hangs out with her friend Yuka, the twins Nono and Nene, and the class rep, who seems to have a crush on her. Saya is also intrigued with a mysterious loner named Tokizane, who always comes to school late. She lives at home with her widowed father, and often eats at the neighboring cafe 'Guimauve,' which is run by the excellent chef and family friend Fumito. Her life may seem very tranquil and happy from the outside, but Saya also secretly wields a mystical sword to defend the town from the 'Old Ones,' monsters who eat people. Lately, Saya is beginning to think that there's a lot more to the situation with the Old Ones than she knows… Links: AnimeNewsNetwork (anime) AnimeNewsNetwork (movie)

Izumiko Suzuhara is a 15-year old girl who has been raised at Tamakura Shrine, part of the Kumano Shrines World Heritage Site. She destroys any electrical device that she comes into contact with. Despite being shy, she wants to try living in the city. Her guardian Yukimasa Sagara recommends that she enroll at Hōjō High School in Tokyo, accompanied by his son and Izumiko's childhood friend Miyuki Sagara. While in Tokyo, an entity named "Himegami" appears. Izumiko learns that she is a yorishiro, a vessel for a shinto spirit known as a kami, while Miyuki learns that he is a yamabushi, a warrior tasked with protecting her.

A boy, who has never met a girl he wanted to date before, one day runs into a new girl that is entering his circle. He is instantly smitten with her, but he must find a way to get her to notice him. That's a little hard to do, since she's very active and social, has an amazing capacity for drinking alcohol, and quickly finds herself drawn into the wild hijinks of the people around her. Will a day ever come where he can get her attention?

After 17 ordinary years on Earth, Makoto Konno's journey was about to be ended by a freak accident. Then, life gave her a reset button. With her new found time-leaping powers, she immediately sets out to wipe off all the little annoyances in her daily life, from failing grades to iffy relationships she can't handle. But as her time-leaps get more frequent, she is forced to realize that every change she makes has profound repercussions that she can't foresee…and should her powers fail her, the consequences could be disastrous… This was set as a prelude to the 2006 animated film of the same title, which was in turn loosely based on the 1965 novel.
