Good Luck Girl!

Binbougami-ga! is a comedic manga written and drawn by Sukeno Yoshiaki that started publication in 2008 in Jump Square. An Animated Adaptation has been greenlit for the Summer 2012 Anime season.

Sakura Ichiko is a high school girl who is smart, strong, beautiful, wealthy, and otherwise talented in just about every way you can imagine. So much so that the Japanese gods are concerned: Ichiko is unknowingly absorbing the "happiness energy" of everyone and everything around her that she threatens to accidentally warp the balance of karma in the entire world. They decide to dispatch Momiji, the God of Poverty and Misfortune, to Ichiko's hometown in order to suck out some of her good luck and restore the balance of energy in the world.

Unfortunately, Ichiko becomes quickly aware that Momiji's trying to suck out her good luck with a giant hypodermic needle, and not even Momiji's status as a god can save her from Ichiko's over-abundance of good luck as the world constantly finds ways to help Ichiko escape. Even so, Momiji continues trying to suck out her good energy, while Ichiko tries to send Momiji packing, and other characters find themselves thrown into either side of the conflict between the two girls.
