Roughly translated into “What God Does in a World Without God,” Aoi Akashiro wrote the manga Kaminaki Sekai No Kamisama Katsudou which is finally being turned into an anime series. Since the manga’s release, writer Aoi Akashiro has put out six volumes under the manga’s name.
The manga series was created by Sansho Hangetsuban and is based on the son of a suspicious religious cult leader, Yukito, who gets killed during some religious training practice. Yukito is reborn in a completely different realm, where no religion or God exists. Both the show and the manga series revolve around the new life of Yukito.
The show will have Junya Enoki, who is known for voicing many loved characters like Yuji Itadori from Jujitsu Kaisen and Suzuki from Haikyuu, as the voice of the main lead, Yukito as the boy who gets reborn, along with Akari Kitou as the voice of Mitama, the goddess Yukito worships. The series also has Shou Fujisawa as the voice of Roy and Megumi Ogata as Kuren’s voice.
This fantasy-isekai-comedy manga was announced to be turned into an anime show in March 2022, and it is finally set for release in April 2023.
Kaminaki Sekai No Kamisama Katsudou: Plotline
Both the anime series will be based entirely on the manga, meaning they will have the same story. The show, Kaminaki Sekai No Kamisama Katsudou, is about a boy named Yukito, the son of a great religious cult leader. In fact, both his parents are heavily involved in their cult practices, also training their young son to join the cult as an adult.
Yukito has spent most of his life worshipping the goddess, Mitama as a part of the cult practices. But things change for the worse when during some religious ritual, Yukito finds himself sacrificed or killed, actually, by the cult members. Fortunately, he takes a rebirth in a world opposite to the one he was in before.
This world has no concept of God and no religious ideology and adult books are more or less the same as a child’s drawing book. In this world, people take birth and die with the state’s order instead of their own will. Yukito’s life takes new turns as he tries to protect his friend from being publicly executed.
Intervening in the state’s matter is never a good thing, and Yukito realizes that a bit too late because the state orders the killing of Yukito and his friend. The two end up dying, but something from his past life steps into this realm to protect and revive the two. This cues chaos in the village and the new world, and Yukito finds himself in the center.
