9. About Kamisama Kiss

Kamisama Kiss is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Julietta Suzuki. The manga was adapted into an anime in 2012.

Kamisama Kiss revolves around Nanami Momozono, an ordinary high school girl. Her life isn’t the best as she gets kicked out of her house after her father runs away with all the savings and unpaid debt. Having nowhere to go, she packs up and makes her way to the nearby park. There, she meets a mysterious man, harassed by a dog.

After helping the man, they start talking, and Nanami explains her downtrodden situation to him. As a token of gratitude, the man offers her a home and directs her to a shrine. Turns out, the man was an Earth deity who transferred his seal to Nanami.

Thinking she had nothing to lose, Nanami goes to the shrine where she meets Tomoe, the familiar of the original Earth deity. Despite having a rough start, Nanami and Tomoe discover that their fates were already linked through a series of events that ultimately lead to their happiness.
