神様はじめました [Kamisama Hajimemashita] [Kamisama Kiss]

Julietta Suzuki's Kamisama Kiss (2008–2016) follows Nanami, a teenage girl who unexpectedly inherits a shrine and becomes a local deity, navigating the chaotic world of gods, spirits, and yokai. Published by Hakusensha over 26 issues, this shōjo fantasy balances supernatural adventure with a slow-burn romance as Nanami grows into her divine role alongside her fox familiar, Tomoe. Suzuki's warm, expressive art and clever storytelling earned the series a devoted readership, making it a standout in late-2000s manga for its heartfelt take on found family and self-discovery.
