Kamisama, hajimemashita !

As I said in my presentation, I will not only publish translation of manga ,but I will also speak about manga I've recently read. So here it is.

The manga I will talk about is Kamisama, hajimemashita (in English it's Nice to meet you God).

I have to say that it surprised me. It's a typical shoujo but still, full of surprises.

So basically, it's the story of Momozono Nanami, whose father has accumulated a huge amount of debt. So you might think that the little girl is going to help her father to pay back his debt and then going to meet a nice boy, blah blah. But hey, not this time. The father has actually ran away, leaving his daughter alone and homeless. 

So, the day when her father has run away, she finds herself in a park, not knowing what's gonna happen next. And there she meets a guy (no, it's not prince charming, quite the opposite actually) to whom she tells her story. And that guy, moved by her story, offers her his house and then before leaving he kisses her on her forehead. So, of course, she decides to take a gander at this house and she finds out that it's not a house but a shrine.There she meets 3 spirits. Two of them are child-like people with weird faces and the other one, a kitsune (demon fox), called Tomoe. And of course Tomoe  is awfully cute (ha ha, of course he's cute, it wouldn't be a shoujo if he wasn't) but he's not as nice as you might think. He's more like a devil. 

Anyway, the 2 little spirits are welcoming her with great enthusiasm and they tell her that she's the new God of the shrine. But how come can she be the new God?  Well, it's simple, the guy she met in the park was the previous God of the shrine and with that kiss she received, she was given the shrine and all that goes with it. Of course Tomoe, not happy to discover, after 20 years of waiting, that the previous God won't come back and that he appointed a useless and fragile human to be the new God, will leave the shrine. But the thing is that Tomoe is the only one who can prevail the shrine to fall into ruin. So Nanami will have to convince Tomoe to come back to the shrine. Which won't be a piece of cake, believe me.

Okay, I think I'll say no more about it and let you discover the rest of the story, of course if you liked the little summary I've done.
