Story and background
Based on an otome dating-sim game, Kamigami no Asobi stars heroine Yui Kusanagi, who is ordered by the Greek god Zeus to teach the meaning of love to various young divine beings, at a school he created especially for this purpose, in order to fix the weakening bonds between the human realm and the world of the gods.
Main heroine Yui is played by Saori Hayami, also known for her roles as Chiriko Tsurumi in Anohana and Sachi from Sword Art Online.
