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 published the 18th volume in North America on June 2.
The series released the first season on Blu-ray Disc and DVD in 2014.
The manga also inspired a previous two-episode OAD that shipped with the manga's 16th volume in August 2013.
