Zange is another goddess and Nagi&#039;s twin sister. Opposite to Nagi who had her powers weakened due to her sacred tree being cut down, Zange&#039;s tree is still intact and located in a church&#039;s courtyard, thus she is still able to catch and cleanse impurities by herself. The fact that she switched her character to that of a Catholic nun, as it is a stronger religion, contributed to her divinity being intact. Despite seemingly being kind and caring on the outside, she usually takes advantage of Nagi&#039;s weakened state to torment her.

Based on a shounen manga by Takenashi Eri, serialised in Comic REX.<br><br>
Our unlucky protagonist, Jin, uses the trunk of a sacred tree to carve a statue for a school project. When he takes it outside, to his surprise it begins absorbing the surrounding earth and transforms into, hold your breath on this one, a girl! So like all similar setups this guardian deity is pretty pissed that her tree was cut down and lives with Jin while she takes out her anger on squashing bugs....er, cleaning the "Impurities".

For his art project Mikuriya Jin carved a statue from the recently chopped local sacred tree. As he is about to bring it to school, the goddess of the tree, Nagi, descends upon the statue, having slept until now, not knowing of her demise. Since the sacred tree can no longer protect the surrounding area from impurities, Nagi has to do it herself now, dragging poor Jin with her.
