Based on a shounen manga by Takenashi Eri, serialised in Comic REX.
Our unlucky protagonist, Jin, uses the trunk of a sacred tree to carve a statue for a school project. When he takes it outside, to his surprise it begins absorbing the surrounding earth and transforms into, hold your breath on this one, a girl! So like all similar setups this guardian deity is pretty pissed that her tree was cut down and lives with Jin while she takes out her anger on squashing bugs....er, cleaning the "Impurities".

Where it came from
Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens was produced by A-1 Pictures and directed by Yutaka Yamamoto, premiering in the autumn of 2008. The series is based on the manga by Eri Takenashi and tells the story of a high school student who carves a wooden statue of a goddess, which unexpectedly comes to life. It emerged during a period when the 'moe' aesthetic was highly influential in the anime industry, blending supernatural comedy with character-driven slice-of-life storytelling.
The production is notable for the distinct, expressive character designs that translate Takenashi's manga style into a fluid animation format. Upon its release, the series garnered significant attention for its visual direction and its unique take on Shinto folklore tropes. While its broadcast run faced some controversy regarding the source material's character development, it remains a recognized example of the late-2000s trend of bringing niche manga titles to a wider television audience under the Aniplex banner.
