Kamichama Karin (かみちゃまかりん)

I enjoyed re-reading this series so much! The reason i re-read it was because around 3 years ago when i started this series and continued on to the sequel Chu~, it was still incomplete. Then as always I got caught up with school and work and things so I'm finally finishing this series...three years later, lol.
かみちゃまかりん (Kamichama Karin or 'Little Goddess Karin')
This story is centered around Hanazono Karin an ordinary girl who isn't to good at sports, get's bad grades and find's comfort in her cat Shi-chan because she lives with an aunt due to her parents being dead, and her only memento of her mother is a ring. One day her precious Shi-chan dies, while visiting her cat's grave that's where this whole story begins. There she meet's Kuujou Kazune a handsome boy, who at first she thinks to be a prince but it turns out he's a chauvinistic jerk. She later becomes friends with his cousin Kuujo Himeka and that's when Karin start's learning about Kamika (God form) and the kamika rings, which her precious memento from her parents seem's to be also. Now Kazune and Karin protect Himeka with their Kamika against Karasuma Kirio who look's for the god research hidden inside Himeka, that belonged to Kazune's dad and Professor Karasuma.
My opinion of the manga vs. the anime is that the anime is better, due to facts that they are strings that are left untied which you figure out later in the sequal manga. For example already the begining of the Kamichama Karin anime show's you a glimps of chu, you also see Suzune who in the manga doesn't appear till the sequel. Also there's a part where Kazun-kun comes from the future, other than this the manga and anime are quite similar but i enjoyed those small mysteries that are discovered when you read the sequel.
All in all Kamichama Karin could probably be placed in my definite favorites. I entirely love the plot line, and maybe I'm a little biased because Greek Mythology is placed into the story but either way Love it~. Not to mention the transformations and attacks in the anime are short, thank god! It's not like 5 minutes of transforming, which i like. But like I said the mythology place's this story in my fave's, also the artwork is just kawaii! I mean the character's look so adorable and I just love their eye's, thumbs up to Koge-Donbo* (mangaka) I would love to be able to draw to her style.
