Nanami doesn't wait around feeling sorry for herself, she just decides she's a god now and makes it work. The show treats her competence as the joke instead of the punchline, which means watching her bulldoze through supernatural bureaucracy with pure stubborn charm is the actual romance. Tomoe pretending he's too dignified to care while visibly melting every time she commits to something ridiculous is where the real magic lives.

Nanami Momozono's life falls apart when her father runs off to escape his gambling debts and she is evicted from her apartment. Homeless, she rescues a man named Mikage from a dog, and in thanks he gives her his home and draws her a map to find it. The catch: the place is a rundown shrine, and Nanami has unknowingly taken over Mikage's role as its land god. Two shrine spirits welcome her as their new deity, but Tomoe, a fox familiar who had waited twenty years for Mikage to return, refuses to serve a human and walks out. Her powers as a god are weak, and keeping the shrine running means winning over the hot-tempered fox. Her clumsy attempt to find him lands her in trouble and ends with a contract that binds them as god and familiar. Ahead lie a youkai who wants to eat her, a snake who wants to marry her, and her own unexpected feelings for Tomoe in this supernatural romantic comedy.
