Nanami Becomes a God.Nanami Momozono, a human high school student, is homeless after being evicted from her apartment after her father ran away from his gambling debts. While sitting in a park she shoos away a dog harassing a man named Mikage, who, after hearing her circumstances, gives her a map to his home and leaves her with a wave and a kiss on the forehead. The home turns out to be a rundown shrine, where a fox yokai named Tomoe is angry that Mikage, the Land God of the shrine, who has been gone for twenty years, has given Nanami the deity mark of the Land God by kissing her forehead, making her the new Land God of the Shrine. Tomoe refuses to serve Nanami and leaves in frustration. The next day, Onikiri and Kotetsu, Tomoe's two shrine spirits, tell Nanami all the duties of a Land God which Tomoe previously had to do alone, including keeping written records of human prayers. Onikiri and Kotetsu bring her to the World Over Yonder to see Tomoe, but she decides to leave after hearing him express his disinterest in the shrine. On the way back to the shrine, after Nanami manages to slip past three demons, thanks to Onikiri and Kotetsu, a demon hag begins chasing her in a forest. In order to be saved from this demon, Nanami forcefully kisses Tomoe to form a contract, forever binding him as her familiar.
