kamisama kiss

Plot[edit]

After Nanami's father runs away due to gambling debts and she is evicted from her apartment, Nanami meets a strange man named Mikage, who is afraid of dogs. She saves Mikage from a dog and tells him her story. He gives Nanami his house as a thank you for saving him. She accepts the offer because she is homeless. When Nanami arrives at Mikage's home, she is shocked to see that it is not a normal home but a shrine for worship. After that she is greeted by both Onikiri and Kotetsu who are the keepers of the shrine. She then meets Tomoe, Mikage's familiar, and she learns that Mikage used to be the Earth deity of the shrine and has bestowed upon her his mark so that she may be the new Deity. At first Nanami is reluctant, but as she lives with Tomoe, Onikiri and Kotetsu she begins to understand and work hard in her new position as Earth Deity. As the story progresses Nanami finds herself falling in love with Tomoe, but he rejects her because the love between a human and a yokai is taboo. Despite saying that, Tomoe finds himself falling in love with her too.

Characters[edit]

Nanami Momozono (桃園 奈々生 Momozono Nanami^?)

Voiced by: Suzuko Mimori (Japanese), Tia Ballard (English)

A teenage girl whose father ran out on her because of his gambling debts; she was often mocked for her poverty by her classmates. She becomes the local land god after former god Mikage transfers his position as master of the shrine over to her. Nanami begins with very little spiritual power, but she works hard at balancing her godly duties with her schoolwork and eventually becomes adept at purification. Nanami becomes upset when Tomoe flirts with other women, which is often. Tomoe always puts shiitake mushrooms in Nanami's food even though he knows she hates them. Nanami falls in love with Tomoe, but she is rejected by him since it is taboo for a human and a demon to be lovers.

Currently, within the manga, Nanami takes a journey to the past to save her beloved Tomoe. It is revealed that the "Yukiji" that Tomoe had fallen in love with was actually Nanami impersonating Yukiji as part of a plan. Although Nanami does not realize this, she sees the feelings of love that Tomoe starts to have towards Yukiji, which leaves her somewhat in heartache because she cannot express her own love to Tomoe for fear of changing the past.

Tomoe (巴衛^?)

Voiced by: Shinnosuke Tachibana (Japanese), J. Michael Tatum (English)

A fox yokai who serves as the familiar of the land god. Several centuries ago, he was a wild and cruel fox who was the partner of the Demon King, but occasionally took mercy on girls who showed spirit. He has a very cynical, often mocking, demeanor, partly because he is distrustful of others, but he can be very charming when the occasion demands it. He is also extremely powerful, and is apparently able to disable other familiars and independent demons without much effort. However, his power is restricted by Nanami's words; if she orders him to do something, he must comply. He can transform himself and others with enchanted leaves. Tomoe worries a great deal about Nanami and is very aware of how delicate she is as a human, threatening anyone who harms her or speaks ill of her. It is hinted that he was once in love with a human woman who was very sick named Yukiji.

It is often implied that he loves Nanami, such as doing random acts of kindness for her and refusing to kill in front of her. He often gets very jealous of other guys who hang around her. He is also very loyal to Nanami, as shown by him kissing her to seal their contract again after it had been broken. It is later revealed that he is just as in love with Nanami as she is in love with him, but Nanami is unaware of this fact because he already rejected her.

In the recent chapters, Narukami turned Tomoe into a toddler but he escaped into a mirror to hide from the pain and to possibly get stronger. Nanami goes into the past to save him.

Throughout the manga he is portrayed as someone shrouded in mystery on what his true motives really are, but it is hinted that his plan has been to show Tomoe that humans and youkai can fall in love and that Nanami may be the one who can reach Tomoe. Yet, it is not clear if this is his only reason for the circumstances and events he set in motion.

She later saw Nanami with Tomoe and eventually used their similarities in appearance to ask Tomoe for help when attacked by Akura-Ou. However, Tomoe does not see the eyes of Yukiji during the time that he spends with her, because Yukiji feared that he would know that she was not Nanami after looking into her eyes.

Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe (Japanese), Brandon Potter (English)

Akura-Ou, also known as Kirihito, or the evil king, was an infamous yokai that has been living for at least 600 years. He worked with Tomoe, wreaking havoc to the world. They were undefeatable until Tomoe fell in love with the human, Yukiji. After being captured, he was sent to Yomi-no-Kuni and lived there for a long time until the soul of a young, recently-deceased, boy named Mori Kirihito came to him and asked him to send an "I'm sorry" message to his parents because they had fought just before his death. Akura-Ou accepted out of boredom and curiosity and hence took up the boy's body, waking in a hospital room and being hugged by 'his' mother. After some time, Akura-Ou regained some of his followers despite being in Kirihito's body. Two of which were two cat-masked shikigami. He soon decided he wanted to get his original body back from Yomi-no-Kuni.

Kayako fell in love with him sometime after and he used her to try and get into the God's Summit. When she failed, he left her, finding her no longer useful.

He first met Nanami while she was being chased by fallen gods. They were angry at her for being a human yet dared to accept the invitation to the God's Summit. Akura-Ou then insulted them as being a lower status than Nanami causing one fallen god to hit him, giving him a serious injury. This angered Nanami who then used Mamoru to repel the gods. She attempted to tend to Akura-Ou's wounds but he refused her help and attempted to kiss her. This made Nanami panic and flee. He then went to Yomotsuhira and opened the Kyo Gan Mon in an attempt to get his body back. However, Nanami and Otohiko came to guard the gates since the original guard was currenty at the God's Summit. This disrupted his plans. Tekkimaru, one of his yokai followers, immediately held Akura-Ou hostage in defense so that Otohiko would not attack them due to Akura-Ou being human (though they did not know of his being Akura-Ou). Tekkimaru then jumped into Yomi-no-Kuni believing it will give him an immortal body, bringing Akura-Ou together with him. Immediately, Tekkimaru rotted due to not being a god. Akura-Ou's human body began to rot as well. In fear for his safety, Nanami jumped in after him.

He woke before Nanami within the Yomi-no-Kuni. He got a lock of her hair and wrapped it around his wrist to protect him from rotting. Soon they were fetched by the servants of the god of Yomi-no-Kuni, Izanami. Nanami asked Izanami to send them back, she replied that only Nanami could go and that Akura-Ou could not due to his body already being dead. After which, Akura-Ou was snatched up by a giant hand and disappeared one of the cells. He had flashbacks in the darkness and wondered if everything that had happened was only a dream.

He was soon rescued by Nanami but could not understand why she did so. He hugged her fiercely, marveling at her warmth. She pulls away, saying she belongs to Tomoe, to which he is intrigued by. She led him to the entrance but it was blocked by Ikusagami, the war god. However they were soon rescued by Tomoe and brought back to the world above. There, he attacks Tomoe, but then looks at Nanami and decides to do it another time.

Jirou

Jirou is currently the fourth chief of Kurama Mountain. The tengu leading all other tengu due to his unsurpassed strength and speed.

When Soujoubou, the third chief, fell ill to an unknown, incurable sickness, Jirou stepped up and took his place.

On the first few parts, Jirou was known as a cruel leader. He was merciless and banished many other tengu when they showed any sign of weakness. An example was how he had treated Kurama when he had been younger.

After he met Nanami under the Thousand Year Old Sakura Tree he seemed to develop a crush on her though he refused to admit it. He got distracted thinking of her, hence letting the wards he placed around his temple weaken. According to his servant, Yatori, this was due to chaos within his own heart.

After discovering Yatori's betrayal, when Nanami was being attacked by the Raijiuyuu, he sacrificed himself to save her and confessed his love to her in what he thought were his last words.

When they come back, they say they can't find her. Tomoe gets angry, so they go off to try to find her again. Then Tomoe figures out that Nanami used the talisman to turn into air. After Nanami recalls a bit of the first episode she realizes that Mikage shrine is her home and she returns. Then she starts to fight the monster Mikage had put away in the box. After she completely defeats it, she faints on Tomoe's lap. Then the next day, they have their festival and Nanami does her Kagura dance in front of everyone. Then they go home and start drinking some Sake. Mizuki says Nanami's dance was beautiful. After he and the shrine spirits try to make some Sake, Nanami asks Tomoe how her dance was and he says it was good then she starts asking "anything else" and he says it was very beautiful in a little voice. She pretends not to hear and asks Tomoe to say it again. However, Tomoe gets annoyed and turns his head. She laughs and says she heard and that she's glad. Then Tomoe asks if he can seal the seal to become a familiar (a kiss) and a confused Nanami informs him that it's already sealed. But Tomoe tells her that this time, it's from the bottom of his heart. Then he proceeds to kiss her.
