A peek at the life at a Shinto shrine, mostly centered around one Satomi Shinjirou, who's on the path to becoming a priest after his brother skipped out on that. Kind of a love story (there are several of those in it, actually), but it's more about the people who work at a modern-day shrine and the circumstances they have to deal with. It's even somewhat educational at times. But don't tell anyone.
