God Kiss World

you get reincarnated as Nanami Momozono in the first time and scenes she appears on... your father left you and abandoned you, you are left with no home or friend to rely on... you sit in the night crying until you see someone running dramatically from a silly dog that you chase because of the absurdity of the scene. The man gets down from the tree and thanks you, then you explain your situation to him, then he kisses your forehead and a shiny mark appears on it, then he gives you a paper where it indicates to you a temple, a place where you can stay.... Desperate, you go to the indicated place... where things seem a bit odd?
When you enter, you meet a handsome fox named Tomoe who seems to mistake you for someone else, then he arrogantly mocks you before vanishing. You are now left with two little spirits. In the universe of Kamisama Kiss, a local goddess (Kamisama) cannot act alone.
She must have a familiar: a powerful spirit who is bound to her by a sacred contract.

👉 To seal this contract, there is a precise ritual:

The deity must kiss her familiar on the mouth.

This kiss is not a romantic gesture (at first), but a spiritual mark: it seals a magical bond that obliges the familiar to protect and serve its master.

Once bound, the familiar cannot break this pact, unless the goddess herself releases it.
When Nanami arrives at the shrine after receiving the power of Mikage, Onikiri and Kotetsu, two little spirits with funny masks and dramatic reactions, explain to her that, to be a true goddess, she must make a contract with Tomoe.
They tell her: "You have to kiss him for him to become your familiar".

But Tomoe, proud and arrogant, categorically refuses.
For him, Nanami is just a human, weak and powerless.
He considers it an insult to have to serve someone so insignificant.
He clearly tells her: "I will never recognize you as my mistress."

He then leaves the shrine to go have fun in the yokai world, convinced that she will not survive.
But Nanami, despite her despair, does not give up.

She tries to use sacred scrolls to defend herself and train.
She takes insane risks by going into the spirit world, even though she knows she is in danger there.
One evening, she is attacked by hostile demons, and Tomoe finds her.
He continues to belittle her, but she, in a burst of courage, grabs him and kisses him by force.
This kiss activates the divine contract:

A light appears,

The seal is engraved,

Tomoe officially becomes Nanami's familiar.

From then on:

He can no longer abandon her, even if he rages.

He physically feels the bond: his energy is connected to Nanami's.

He is forced to recognize her as his mistress, even if his ego suffers.
Nanami finally has a protector worthy of the name.

Tomoe, even while grumbling, begins to fulfill his role as a familiar, protecting Nanami against enemies.
But deep down, he remains bitter: he did not want this bond in the first place.
Nanami, sincere, generous, clumsy, but courageous,

and Tomoe, proud, arrogant, but forced to stay with her.
Episode 1 – "Nanami, Become a Goddess"

Nanami Momozono suddenly becomes homeless after her father abandons her, burdened by debts. She saves a man, Mikage, who offers her his house in gratitude — this house is actually a dilapidated shrine. By kissing her on the forehead, Mikage transfers the role of local goddess (Land God) to her. Tomoe, the shrine's fox familiar, refuses to serve a human and leaves. Nanami, with the help of the shikigamis Onikiri and Kotetsu, learns her new responsibilities. She eventually seals a contract with Tomoe through a kiss, despite his initial refusal.

Episode 2 – "God Becomes a Target"

Kurama, a famous idol, arrives at Nanami's high school, prompting her to return to classes. Tomoe only lets her go out with a cat headband covering her divinity mark, which Nanami finds ridiculous.
At Nanami's high school, Kurama plays the role of the perfect and mysterious high school student:

Always surrounded: as soon as he arrives, all the girls flock around him.

Seductive: he smiles with his charming air, speaks in a soft and calm voice.

Mysterious: he cultivates an aura of an inaccessible star, which makes the students even more obsessed with him.
He behaves a bit like a popular prince:

girls fight to give him their lunch,

Basically, at high school, he plays the card of the untouchable star to the fullest.
Kurama is a true national idol in the human world:

He is a singer

He is one of the most famous artists in Japan in the anime universe.
His fans (especially teenage girls) follow him everywhere.
👉 This makes him even more arrogant: he is convinced that no one can resist him.
Kurama knows how to use his charm perfectly:

Star poses: fixing his hair, adjusting his sunglasses, posing as if he were in a photoshoot... even during class.
At high school, he flirts shamelessly, but lightly, as his main goal is to maintain his image as a seductive star.
When Nanami meets Kurama for the first time, she is like all the other girls:

She recognizes him as the popular star she saw on television.

She is a little impressed and attracted by his aura at first.
But very quickly, Nanami realizes that:

Behind his star mask, Kurama is vain, selfish, and a bit shady.

Unlike the other girls, she is not fooled by his charming side.

This is precisely what intrigues Kurama: Nanami is the only one who doesn't fall completely under his charm, and that makes him interested in her.
Shortly after, Tomoe senses that something is wrong with Kurama and joins Nanami's high school in her class to watch over her and get her out of situations with Kurama. He prepares her lunch for school every day, and the other girls are jealous of Tomoe's attention.
Episode 3 – "God Creates a Bond"

Himemiko, a cat-fish deity from the swamp, asks Nanami for help to find a human boy named Kotarō Urashima, whom she met 10 years earlier. Despite Tomoe's opposition (who deems any romantic relationship between yokai and human inappropriate), Nanami uses a sacred word to force Tomoe's obedience, then helps Himemiko find Kotarō.
Episode 5 – "The God Loses Her Home"

Narukami, a heavenly goddess in love with Tomoe, steals Nanami's divine mark and turns Tomoe into a child. Nanami, with the help of Kurama and the shikigamis, brings Tomoe back to the shrine. The mark is eventually restored, and Tomoe returns to his normal form.
Episode 7 – "The God Invites a Boy on a Date"

Nanami organizes a "date" with Tomoe at the aquarium. She struggles with her feelings for him. At the top of the aquarium, under pressure, she finally confesses her love to Tomoe.
Episode 8 – Mizuki the Snake Yokai
Mizuki is a beautiful Yokai with delicate features.
The first encounter with Mizuki

One day, at high school, Nanami finds a white snake in danger.

Most students are scared,

But Nanami, compassionate, decides to save it instead of rejecting it.
This snake, in reality, is none other than Mizuki, the lonely snake spirit.
Shortly after, Mizuki returns to pick up Nanami.
He appears in his human form: a handsome man with white hair and gentle features.
He lures her to the Yonomori Shrine, his former temple dedicated to the water goddess he once served.
There, he reveals his true purpose:

He wants Nanami to become the new goddess of his shrine.
He kidnaps her because he doesn't want to be alone anymore after Yonomori's disappearance.
In Japanese folklore, when you save a white snake, a spiritual bond is created between the person and the snake.
👉 As a sign of gratitude (and also possession), Mizuki marks Nanami:

He leaves a special imprint on her arm,

This seal symbolizes a bond of promise: he now considers Nanami as "his".

For him, Nanami becomes a sort of fiancée whom he must take with him.
However, Tomoe emerges to free her:

He confronts Mizuki, whom he treats with contempt (as he sees through his unhealthy loneliness).

Mizuki is beaten and humiliated by Tomoe.
She accepts him as her second familiar.
The personality of Mizuki

Clingy and possessive: he wants to monopolize Nanami and constantly argues with Tomoe.

Comical and clumsy: he misunderstands the human world, which creates many funny scenes.

Sincere but unstable: he is truly attached to Nanami, but his love translates into exaggerated jealousy.

Elegant and seductive: in his human form, he is refined, the opposite of Tomoe's wild side.
Tomoe's personality:
At first, Tomoe is a fox yōkai of glacial beauty: silver hair, fox ears, piercing violet eyes. Just by his posture and expression, you can feel his pride as an ancient spirit.

He carries a natural arrogance: he considers humans fragile, weak, and worthless.

Tomoe is a true tsundere:

He appears haughty and cold, refusing to recognize Nanami.

His words are often biting: he calls her an idiot, naive, and constantly reminds her that she is "not worthy" of being a goddess.

Yet, behind this facade, he is attentive and protective: as soon as Nanami is in danger, he rushes to save her, even if he pretends it's just his "familiar's duty".
When Nanami tries to assert herself, he responds with arrogant remarks like:

"An insignificant human like you can never be a goddess."

But as soon as she is threatened by another yōkai, he throws himself into battle with ferocity:

"No one has the right to lay a hand on my mistress, except me."
