Kamisama Kiss

Nanami is just a luckless high school girl until a mysterious encounter marks her as the new Land God, turning ordinary days into a busy mix of prayers, rituals, and tricky relationships. Struggling to balance school with divine duties, she finds an unlikely partner in Tomoe, a once aloof fox demon who becomes her familiar after a contract sealed with a kiss. Together they wade through the petty politics of the spirit world and the chores that come with godhood. The world sneaks in with flirtatious tricks, from a crow demon posing as a pop idol to a playful snake spirit who has his own plans. Nanami must prove she can lead. Her growth as a deity brings both laughs.
