Overview
The protagonist, Amano Sakogami, is a happy but unlucky girl. She dreams of being attacked by a woman in a purple kimono and is rescued by a boy, causing her to forget the dream. She remembers this only after being recruited by a school club called the Kaiun Kenkyukai (Better Fortune Research Organization), which is a cover for the Happy Seven—seven girls each possessing a power of the Shichifukujin (the Seven Lucky Gods). Two other female club members are a dog-girl and a girl with pigtails and glasses.
Amano recognizes the lone male member as the boy from her dream and appoints herself their manager to get closer to him. She discovers that the student council president is the Happy Seven's adversary, working with the woman in the purple kimono. He helps release Magatsugami, monsters that feed on negative emotions. The Happy Seven fight these monsters and help people with bad luck by praying at a stone in a forest, which removes the Magatsugami causing their misfortune.
Normally, the person's memory is erased afterward, but this does not work for Amano. In episode 10, Amano and her childhood friends Nene and Mimi transform into Lucky Three, but Mimi and Nene's memories are erased by Kikunosuke.
Characters
Amano Sakogami, voiced by Yuuna Inamura, is the protagonist who was possessed by a Magatsugami from a young age until the Better Fortune Research Organization defeated it. The Magatsugami caused her extreme bad luck, such as tripping down stairs, breaking her cell phone, or being hit by a volleyball. After its defeat, her luck improved but her clumsiness remained. She has a crush on Kikunosuke but is unaware that the other female members are not allowed to date him.
She asks to join the club but is unanimously rejected by the female members; however, when she offers to be manager, Kikunosuke agrees. She is one of the Lucky Three and their leader. Kikunosuke Kagawa, voiced by Jun Fukuyama, is the only male club member and Amano's upperclassman. He can transform into one of the Seven, but his god is not readily revealed; he told Amano his role was more complicated.
His eyes appear closed except when he transforms. Kuriya Kuroda, voiced by Houko Kuwashima, represents Daikoku-ten and wields a hammer as a weapon, appearing to be a leader among the Happy Seven. Tamon Kitayama, voiced by Chiemi Chiba, represents Bishamon-ten and uses the power Jarei-mekkyaku raiko sange. She undergoes a major personality change when transforming, from shy and timid to slightly aggressive and sure of her power.
Sarasugawa Kiku, voiced by Mai Nakahara and also called Okiku, represents Benzai-ten. She is outgoing and cocky about her talents, often calling Amano 'Ribbon Girl' and acting as if she dislikes her. Mahiru Oki, voiced by Yu Kobayashi, represents Ebisu and carries a fish; her weapon is a fishing pole with a fish on the end. She is the only university student in the club.
