Tomoe spent the first season pretending he didn't care about Nanami, and season two is just him realizing that pretense has calcified into something real, watching her move through a world of gods where she doesn't belong but refuses to leave. The romance doesn't build toward a confession, it's already there, already broken, already desperate, and the show spends twelve episodes finding new ways to make that ache sharper. Nanami gets genuinely stronger as a god, but what actually matters is that Tomoe has to watch her do it without him, and he can't hide anymore.

Nanami Momozono has grown into her role as the patron god of Mikage Shrine, living alongside her familiars Tomoe and Mizuki. When the wind god Otohiko invites her to the Divine Assembly in Izumo, she takes Mizuki along and leaves Tomoe at school disguised as her. She has a hidden reason for going: to learn where the missing Lord Mikage, the shrine's former god, has gone. After Izumo, she meets Botanmaru, a tengu child searching for Shinjirou Kurama, a tengu prince who now works as a goth idol and whom Nanami already knows well. Botanmaru wants him to return to Mount Kurama and end the harsh rule of Jirou, who has seized control there, but Nanami soon senses something darker at work on the mountain. As she settles into being a god, she faces a tengu rebellion, her growing feelings for Tomoe, and a strange man linked to both Tomoe's past and her own future, in a supernatural romantic comedy.
