Kannazuki no Miko\r
----------------------------------------­-----------------------\r
Himeko Kurusugawa and Chikane Himemiya are two high-school girls at the prestigious Ototachibana Academy in the fictional Japanese village of Mahoroba; they are also the reincarnations of the solar and lunar mikos. When their ancient enemy, the Orochi (the eight-headed Yamata no Orochi of Japanese folklore), rises once more the girls long-sealed personas awaken to defend the world. The Orochi awakens on the first day of October (Kannazuki, the godless month, in the traditional Japanese lunar calendar), Himeko and Chikanes shared birthday. The first Orochi who tries to kill one of the mikos is Sōma Ōgami, Himekos childhood friend (who is in love with her). However, after a blinding flash of light brings him to his senses, he rejects his fate and vows to defend Himeko against the other Orochi. The mikos must awaken Ame no Murakumo to combat the threat, while Sōma repels the Orochis efforts to kill them.\r
Chikane is with the Orochi throughout the manga; in the anime, she joins after seeing Himekos first kiss. Himeko does not know who the Lunar Priestess is until halfway through the manga, when she is raped by Chikane; in the anime, the priestesses work together throughout. In the manga, Makotos leg is not injured in the attack on the school; Himeko does not respond to Chikanes death wish by hurting her, hugging her instead. Himeko remains on the moon with Chikane; they are later reincarnated as twin sisters.\r
\r
In the manga, the major participants in the confrontation between Orochi and Ame No Murakumo (except for Chikane) were brought to Mahoroba when Chikanes grandfather gathered orphans from all over Japan. In the manga, Himeko is not born in the village but is shipped in with a group of other orphans; in the anime, she is an orphan but not an outsider. In the manga, backstories are not expanded; in the anime, each Orochis motivation is briefly described.\r
\r
The manga details Himeko and Chikanes relationship more, and Himeko chooses to be imprisoned forever in the shrine with her. Years later, twin girls are born; they are Himeko and Chikane, with memories and feelings for one another intact.[2]\r
\r
In the anime, Himekos memory of Chikane disappears when Chikane sacrifices herself for Himeko and is imprisoned in the shrine. Although Chikane is reincarnated and their feelings for each other are intact, their memories of one another are gone and their connection is instinctive. At the end of the anime, the Orochis return to their original lives and Himeko is seen walking down a street. In a post-credits scene, she sees Chikane and knows that she is meant to be with this person. They hug, agreeing that they will always find a way back to each other.
