Summary of the Manga 

The plot of Kamisama Hajimemashita, beautifully crafted by Julietta Suzuki, follows Nanami Momozono. After her father’s gambling debts leave her on the streets, she rescues a mysterious man named Mikage from a dog. In return, he gives her his "home," which turns out to be a sacred shrine. Nanami soon discovers she has inherited Mikage's divine status. To fulfill her duties, she must deal with the cynical fox yōkai familiar, Tomoe, who initially resents her presence. Together with shrine guardians Onikiri and Kotetsu, Nanami learns to master white talismans and navigate the dangerous, often romantic, politics of the spirit world.
