Kamisama Hajimemashita

Description

From Viz:
Nanami Momozono is alone and homeless after her dad skips town to evade his gambling debts and the debt collectors kick her out of her apartment. So when a man she's just saved from a dog offers her his home, she jumps at the opportunity. But it turns out that his place is a shrine, and Nanami has unwittingly taken over his job as a local deity.
Nanami has all kinds of new responsibilities she doesn't understand, dangers she's unaware of, and a cranky ex-familiar who's actually pretty hot. What's a new-fledged godling to do?

Awesome manga><. every time i read this manga, it always leave my heart pounding.I love Tomoe‘s 'do i like her or not' attitude. Nanami is also such a lovable character, a little violent, but that is necessary for a romantic comedy manga. I used half a day to read from the first chapter to the 81st chapter. It's a manga that is hard to put it down

Thoroughly Enjoyable

I'm not going to lie, I was hesitant to begin reading this due to Tomoe's foxy-ness. I decided to read it, though, and while it had a bit of a slow start, I really appreciate the direction this manga is going. While funny, Nanami is a bit useless at first, but her character slowly develops over time, especially as she begins utilizing the powers that she was given. (Granted, I wish there was more focus on her powers, but that is a small complaint.) Yes, Tomoe is stubborn and in denial, but as the story progresses his background unfolds and we can finally get a grasp on his reasoning and emotions.

I also feel as though the side characters are a strong addition; Himemiko, Kurama, and Mizuki are all enjoyable, and each of their arcs add greater depth to the story. And, of course, the artwork is wonderful and I love how the characters are so unique and creatively drawn.

The male lead in it... is so freakin hot. I think that is one of the reasons I love this manga so much...... the plot is interesting and the girl is strong and doesn't annoy me... unlike other mangas....

IT'S SO AWESOME! you have to read this, you WILL NOT regret it

... but definitely better than Black Bird or Love Monster

I guess its the humour!

The main characters are more appealing, the heroine is stronger and the guy is no stalker (!) and NOT trying to jump her bones all the time.

Ahhhh refreshing. AND very cute. I don't know why it reminds me a little of Ranma 1/2 (without the cross-dressing...)

Art: 9.5/10
Plot: 9/10
Characters: 10/10

I just love the characters. Nanami isn't like the typical stupid shoujo herione. She kicks butt and isn't that annoying. Tomoe is adorably funny and cute too. The art is better than most manga but not the best... it's clean and nice ^^. The humor is great but the romance part is slowly developing (which is a bit good in my opinion... Sometimes I hate it when a manga goes straight into a relationship without some type of background).

This would be my favorite out of all of Suzuki Julietta's series (even my favorite manga). Fox ears and romance are a win for me XD. I greatly recommend this manga for those of you who like supernatural romance ^^

Kamisama Hajimemashite first caught my attantion as a anime, though soon after I finished watching I started reading the manga from the beginning. It's still amazes me that from the very first volume it has hints of the plot points and twists that are revealed long after that.

I like all the characters and I feel that in comparison to some other mangas, they don't have a tendency to fall under one stereotype or behave just one type of way thoughtout the whole story. They develop and change over time.

The story for me is great and I don't feel like it's dragged out as much as some mention here. I think that most of the problems that arise, stem from the one overarching the whole storyline and therefore they are solved one after another. I didn't feel like they pop out of nowhere. I prefer a little bit longer manga that have clear solution rather than hazy ending, so I'm glad the author chose to write it in this way.

For me Kamisama Hajimemashita is the best romance manga I've ever read, with interesting story and likable characters. It's maybe not for everyone, but I prolly re-read it forever.

gets better

i started this series because of the supernatural angle, rather than caring about the shoujo stuff. i dropped it three times before i finally was able to get past the first arc, but it does get better as it goes along.
i'm not a big shoujo fan and there are very few i enjoy; fruits basket (despite extreme doormat heroine), dengeki daisy, skip beat, and oresame teacher (does this count as shoujo?) are the only ones i've read or plan to read all the way through.
this series will be number 5 on that list (unless it goes into complete WTF territory later on). i'll have to wait to rate it but so far, its one of the better shoujo series out there, even for people like me who have a hard time with the genre.

I love it!!! Whatever kind of reason you have for not reading it, throw it away!!!! It's a must-read-manga!! Just try it out and if you don't like it, then you can drop it. BUT!!! You would be missing out a lot of interesting events >o< (considering whats going on in the recent chapters).

Gah, one of those mangas that snuggled its way into my heart and staying put. I cannot tell you how cute this manga is 🙂 It's cute, adorable, lovely, heartfelt, (the characters are) brave, funny and so much more. It made me cry and laugh. I can't explain it. It reminds me of Fruits Basket from my childhood days but this one ONE-UPs it haha <3 I'm definitely going to buy it when it's completed. The drawings are so adorable, their emotions are on point. It has great character development. They're very courageous, selfless and sincere (or they grow to be). Some are broken and have lost all hope but Nanami and her gang are so pure hearted. BAH. I CAN'T EXPLAIN. YOU. MUST. READ.

Sigh.. I accumulated 25 chapters..and I couldn't hold back anymore, so now..I've caught up..and left at the most critical point. DAMN YOU CHAPTER 92. DAMN YOUUUUUUU

Not only was this shoujo one of my first ever on-going favorites but it really never ceases to surprise me even now. I admit that when I first discovered it I beyond-adored it and was desperate for chapters, but it's slow progress and less interesting arcs lost me a little at one point. However, I never once thought poor of the story's quality and now that things have sped up a little (plus with the anime o) it's undoubtedly a topper once again. If you have doubts that it might get boring and cliche it's best to keep pushing on because I don't think I've seen a plot unravel quite this way before. Also I think the current chapters (80-90+) are leading on the best arc yet. Don't give up!

I'm going to keep this review short, seeing as there are tons of others (probably far better ones) - but I will mention Nanami is one of the sweetest and likable characters ever. She's like a lovable older sister, mother and best friend to everyone. Tomoe gets less foxy and more down-to-earth with time (I mostly just love seeing him in his chibi form..). And hats off for the usage of so many different characters. I enjoyed all of them.

Also, Suzuki Julietta has the BEST art. I idolize her.
sobs it's so.. flawless.
