Mixed votes made me think this'd be the usual shallow shounen, Instead, it has a deep plotline with unique characters and incredible art. I won't say it's a revolutionary work, but it has quite a few appealing aspects.
The art is excellent and in many ways a unique style. Like how the artist uses the characters' mouths in very expressive ways. The female lead, Kuro, reminds me a bit of Kiyohiko Azuma's art (she's kinda an Osaka in Azumanga Daioh , but way more energetic and "kawaii!"). At first you may think she's part of the "supernatural occurrence causes cute girl with odd yet endearing personality to live with guy" cliche like you see in Lilim Kiss or Sekirei, but that's not the case. Her reactions & behavior are not shallow at all, they really speak of her character; she's very far a typical shounen archetype.

Unlike manga where you often see people reacting in ways no sane person would usually react, Black God is totally realistic. philip72 describes the main character (Keita) as an *******. Actually, he's just a realistic character. Same with Akane, she has plenty of has flaws.
Keita's not a bad guy, just immature and full of youthful vigor. He would never hurt anyone, and is actually a very sensitive guy and a good person, which you can see when you look at how much he cared for his mother (she died in an accident when he was a child, as we learn in the first few pages of the series). As you read the story you come to understand the characters for who they are.
In spite of all these high points, however, the type of story we have here is one I've become too used to and don't like that much, where the true plots are shrouded in secrecy, with conspiracies all around, and you're kept in the dark about a lot of the plot, instead just slowly learning more about the Mototsumitama mythology, as the main characters are constantly being forced into action by things beyond their understanding. Therefore, 9/10.
