Kamisama hajimemashita, also known as God has begun and Kamisama Kiss, is a manga and also a comedy and adventure-type anime series, considered one of the most popular since its premiere. One of the most important characteristics of both manga and anime is that it is shojo category.

In other words, it is especially aimed at teenage girls, although it may also be of interest to boys. This is mainly due to the fact that the story's plot focuses on the relationships between the protagonists and the other characters.

Some Internet users and followers of this type of material have indicated that it is a funny, light and funny story, which also combines Japanese mythology by introducing deities from myths and legends of the Japanese country.

The anime was adapted shortly after the publication of the manga, which has two seasons and a series of eggs that deepen the plot a little more.

Argument

In both the manga and the anime the story focuses on the life of Momozono Nanami, a high school student who, as a result of the debts accumulated by her father, must leave home. As if that were not enough, he also abandons her, practically leaving her to her own devices.

However, despite all the events, she has a candid personality and a positive attitude towards life.

One day, while in a park and had nowhere to stay, she came across a man who was being harassed by a dog. From there they begin to talk and Nanami shares her problems with this stranger, who little by little shows complicity and sympathy for what he says.

In the end the man offered her his house so that she could stay in it. Before leaving, he kissed her on the forehead and offered her a map so she could get to the place.

Important facts

-Despite the doubts of that encounter, Nanami took the initiative to go to that mysterious direction. When he got there he discovered that it was a temple.

-At the moment of arrival, the girl heard voices and found two spirits and a fox demon. The spirits welcomed her and realized that she has a special mark that identifies her as the new goddess of the Earth.

-Despite that reception, the fox demon, Tomoe, feels suspicious for her when she realizes that her former master (who was also her family member) will not return. Then he left her with the rest of the spirits, who will tell him what his responsibilities will be as a new divinity.

-Eventually, Tomoe and the other spirits will help the girl to play a good role as goddess of the Earth, to show that she is capable of much more than she thinks herself.

Main characters

Nanami Momozono

She is a noble and sweet high school student, who is forced to leave her home because she is expelled by the owner, thanks to the debts accumulated by her father. Her own colleagues also make fun of her for her financial situation.

Surprisingly, she becomes the goddess of Earth after power is transferred to her by a mysterious man.

Thanks to his new status, he finds it necessary to balance his studies with his duties as a divinity, as well as the responsibilities he has in the temple. As time passes, he falls in love with Tomoe, despite the fact that their relationship is seen as a kind of taboo.

Tomoe

He is a fox demon who is in the temple as a servant of the ancient God of the Earth, Mikage, who was absent for more than 20 years.

In his first encounter with her, he is reluctant to her presence, but then tries to take care of her and protect her despite the fact that she plays some practical jokes on him.

He begins to experience deeper feelings towards her although he does his best to deny it, since a relationship between a human and a demon is seen as taboo. Still, she is jealous of the guys around her.

Secondary characters

Mikage

He is the ancient god of the Earth and old owner of the temple, who finally leaves Nanami in charge thanks to a kiss that he gives him on his forehead.

The funny thing about this character is that his origins are unknown. It is known that he was a powerful entity that found Tomoe when he was very affected by a curse, so he chose to make him his familiar to seek his protection.

That is why, thanks to the connection they established between the two, Tomoe was affected by Mikage's abandonment.

Mizuki

In the past, Mizuki was a snake that belonged to the Yokonomi temple; He even made an attempt to kidnap her due to the loneliness he felt in his temple.

He fell in love with Nanami from the first moment he saw her, so he does his best to take care of her and protect her.

Kurama Shinjirou

Gothic and dark in appearance, Kurama is a being with powers who, at first, also aspired to become a god of the Earth, so he tries to be close to Nanami to take the opportunity to obtain his powers.

However, his attempts are thwarted thanks to Tomoe's intervention, so he eventually becomes friends with Nanami.

Nekota Am

She is Nanami's classmate, although with the passage of time she becomes friends with her. The girl is convinced that her friend has powers or that she is a kind of priestess, since she faces spirits and demons.

Beyond the support she shows towards Nanami, the fact of the attraction she feels for Kurama also stands out, especially because he saved her from a demon. Likewise, he feels the same way about her.
