Gorou Mutsumi encounters fortune teller and three guardian angels from past lives

Gorou Mutsumi suffers from persistent bad luck until a fortune teller predicts an imminent shift in his fortune. Shortly thereafter, three Guardian Angels named Ran, Tsubasa, and Kurumi appear in his life. It is revealed that Gorou recognizes these women from their previous incarnations as various animals he had assisted. The Goddess reincarnated them specifically to provide him with aid and protection. This divine intervention marks a turning point for the unlucky man, connecting his current existence to his history of kindness toward creatures in earlier lives.

A New Guardian Angel Arrives to Assist Gorou

Worried that Ran, Tsubasa, and Kurumi cannot adequately support Gorou, the Goddess dispatches an additional Guardian Angel named Tamami. She intervenes at the last moment to prevent him from being struck by a truck. Gorou recognizes her as the cat he rescued 10 years prior and invites her to stay at his residence. This development creates tension, as the existing Guardian Angels are not particularly welcoming toward this new addition to their group.

New Guardian Angels Mika and Nana arrive with a clock to manage Gorou's time.

Two new Guardian Angels, Mika the rabbit and Nana the dog, are sent by the Goddess along with a clock. Their mission is to split time with Gorou more easily, preventing them from fighting for his attention. However, this new timeshare system encounters several problems. Meanwhile, the mysterious man who previously attempted to run over Gorou with a truck reappears. This development places Gorou in a dangerous position atop a Ferris Wheel. Tsubasa, who is terrified of heights, becomes the only person capable of saving him from this perilous situation.

Gorou's Cold and the Arrival of New Guardian Angels Nana and Akane

Gorou suffers from a cold while existing Guardian Angels argue. Nana the turtle and Akane the fox arrive as new Guardian Angels with a message from the Goddess. The Goddess decrees that any Guardian Angel neglecting Gorou must transform into a doll. Chaos ensues when Gorou's phone, the summoning device, rings again. The Guardian Angels vanish, leaving Gorou to wake up in an empty house with a broken phone.

Guardian Angels Awaken in Spirit World and Reunite with Gorō

Guardian Angels return to the spirit world and face the Goddess, who declares them failed for their lack of teamwork. They repent and request a return to the mortal realm, but the Goddess denies this. Instead, she reveals that four angels remain unawakened because Gorō has forgotten them. The eight present angels pray, prompting Gorō to remember Yuki the snake, Midori the raccoon, Momo the squirrel monkey, and Lulu the frog. With the Goddess' blessing, all twelve angels depart the spirit world. Upon his return, Gorō finds his phone restored and is greeted by the reunited group, marking their successful reintegration.

The owners respond with good humor, offering the pair a bowl of noodles. During this interaction, they discover that the old woman owner was once a Guardian Angel.
