Synopsis: “You think your life is weird? Imagine being the reincarnation of an ancient priestess from a thousand years ago. That’s the unfortunate fate that has befallen Yuuto, a high school student and kendo competitor whose life is turned upside down when he is visited by a thunder god named Kazuchi. The disgruntled god claims that he is bound to Yuuto and that the only way he can be free is to have Yuuto remember something he’s never done in his lifetime! Will Yuuto be able to tap into his priestess past to remember the magic word to set the thunder god free? And if he does, would he really want the dashing Kazuchi to leave?”

The story begins with Yuuto, a young high school student, who finds he may not be as ordinary as he once thought, when a lightning strike leaves him without a scratch. What it did leave him, however, was a raijuu, a thunder god, who enters Yuuto’s life proclaiming the student is actually the reincarnation of a priestess, the same priestess that sealed the god away! Now the raijuu needs Yuuto to remember his true name so he can be free again.
