They are sent down earth to a church in the city called "Daten City". They have to collect enough Heaven Coins from ghosts they have to ... kill until there allowed back in heaven

Art: The art style is like a Western Cartoon. I really enjoyed how they adapted that kind of art into Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt to use this type of style was just amazing.
