Review | The Failure at God School Vol 1 by Modomu Akagawara

Modern life means modern solutions, even to supernatural problems. So of course the government would have a classification system, special schools, and licenses for people with mysterious powers—any manifestation of a miracle is enough to be called a “Himiko,” but only those with full certification may use the title of “god.” And high schooler Nagi is in serious need of a god! The death of her grandmother has left her family shrine devoid of the necessary divinity, and her hopelessly shut-in Himiko brother isn’t looking promising. But if Nagi isn’t careful, her search for a god might end with her finding more than she bargained for…

Rating: 4 out of 5.

This was a really fun start to a new series. In it we follow Nagi who considers herself pretty normal, while being surrounded by the not so normal. After an incident on her way to school; however, she gets an invitation to God School. For someone who believes she has no special powers or talents this is quite a shock. The first volume explores the key characters at the school that she encounters as they try to figure out just why she is there and what her powers may be. The different personalities clash at times, but it’s fun to see how they come together and how Nagi works to fit in and also survive. It will be fun to see where this series goes.

Happy reading!
