A god too nervous to show his face sends his crew to fix high school girl problems with nothing but Afrobeat and pure confidence. The show commits completely to the absurdity: a deity hiding behind funky rhythm because a mallet incident left him traumatized. It sounds ridiculous because it is, and it knows exactly how to make that work.
Onyankopon once kept watch over humanity, until an elderly woman pounding yams struck him on the head with her mallet by accident. Ever since, he has been too nervous to greet people face to face, so he sends his subordinates to talk with them and sort out their troubles. Drawing on Afrobeat music and dance, he helps Japanese high school girls with worries like dieting, romance and studying for exams. The online series runs twelve episodes and pairs music with sports.
