An emissary of a god in the form of a rabbit appears before her. It invites her to go on a journey to Izumo. Questioning the white rabbit, Kanna asks “Can I really meet my mom?” The rabbit responds, “Only if the two of you are connected.” However, a young demon boy named Yasha blocks their path.

At their destination in the land of myths where every deity in Japan is welcomed and enshrined during Kannazuki, they will meet gods and goddesses of all shapes and sizes.
