Kamisama Kiss (a literal translation of the Japanese is god started) tells the story of 17-year-old Nanami Momozono who becomes the god of a local shrine after an encounter with an odd man she meets after rescuing him from a small dog. In addition to learning how to be a god, she must deal with her cranky familiar (a fox yokai named Tomoe) and other supernatural beings.
In some ways, the story line is similar to Fruits Basket, though not as serious in tone. In the second season, a darker tone is taken as they introduce an evil yokai (a former friend of Tomoe) whose spirit is currently inhabiting a dead high school student. Unfortunately, the series ends before an resolution comes to that plotline, but Namani does finally come to terms with being a god.
All in all, a fun diversion, though the narrator becomes increasingly annoying in the final episodes.
