Absolute Anime

Aya Mikage is a normal average high school student... with genes of celestial goddess. The Mikage family is a descendant of a man who stole a goddess' Hagoromo (feathered robe) and hid it so she would settle down with him.

Now the Mikage family has celestial genes, and every woman is tested for them at the age of 16. If activated, they are killed by their fathers.

Aya and her twin brother Aki were both tested, with surprising results. Throw into the mix her loverboy, Touya, who isn't affected by her powers, and this becomes a great anime.

The Stolen Robes

In the manga, a fisherman falls in love with a bathing angel, Ceres, and steals her feathered robes, as she cannot return to heaven without them. The man marries her, and with the maiden resigned to her fate, she bears his children. But, one day she learns the location of her robes through her children's nursery rhymes, thus enabling her to retrieve what was taken so long ago. With her robes, she finally returns to her true home in heaven.

In the anime, Mikage also sees Ceres, falls in love with her, and swipes her Hagoromo, thus essentially forcing her to stay with him. They eventually fall in love and start a family, but he gets so stingy with her that he won't even let his children have time with her. She ends up dying before she finds her hidden Hagoromo, and is thus reborn every 16 years when the time is right and her body can fit in a Mikage girl's. Tennyo Ceres doesn't find her Hagoromo until the end of the series. In fact, Touya is the one who returns it to her... after he "dies" he is the Hagoromo.

On Aya's 16th birthday, her destiny as the reincarnation of Ceres overtakes her and turns her world into a living nightmare! She falls in love with a man named Toya who has no clue about his past. She meets other Tennyo's, but they eventually die later.

Ceres had a grudge against the Mikage people and Aya promised Ceres to find and retrieve the Hagoromo.
