The story of Julietta Suzuki's original manga begins with Nanami, a girl who finds herself homeless after her father leaves. She comes to the home of a man who offers to let her stay over — only to discover it is a Shinto shrine. The man happened to be a deity who has just transferred his status and his yōkai to Nanami. That yōkai's name is Tomoe, and a contract between him and Nanami can only be sealed in one way: with a kiss.
Suzuki launched the manga in Hakusensha's Hana to Yumemagazine in 2008. Viz Media published the 19th volume in North America on October 6.
The series inspired two anime seasons, and Funimationstreamed both seasons as they aired in Japan. Funimation alsoreleased the first season on Blu-ray Disc and DVD in 2014.
The manga also inspired a previous two-episode OAD project that shipped with the manga's 16th volume in August 2013.
