Izumiko can't touch the world without breaking it, so when Miyuki shows up to guard her, their connection becomes the only thing that doesn't shatter. The show treats her disability like a real burden, not a plot device, but the specific loneliness of being untouchable in a shrine full of rituals designed for human hands. It's a quiet romance about two people learning that some bonds don't need technology or normal contact to mean everything, grounded in Shinto beliefs that make the supernatural feel lived-in rather than borrowed.
Izumiko, a fifteen-year-old girl, grew up sheltered at a remote mountain shrine, painfully shy and unable to use phones or computers, which break down whenever she touches them. Hoping to become an ordinary girl, she resolves to change her life. Then Miyuki, the boy who bullied her when they were children, is sent by his father to the shrine to become her lifelong protector. The two can hardly stand each other, and Miyuki has no idea why his father calls Izumiko a goddess. She soon learns that she is the last vessel of a goddess, and a secret her family has kept begins to surface. Drawing on Shinto legend, the drama mixes romance and the supernatural with modern teenage life.
