Julietta Suzuki creates shōjo manga that combines romance, Japanese folklore and supernatural comedy. Kamisama Kiss follows Nanami Momozono after homelessness leads her to accept a mysterious man’s offer of a place to stay, only to discover that she has inherited the role of land god at a shrine. Her familiar, the fox spirit Tomoe, initially resents serving a human girl, and the long series develops their relationship alongside yokai, gods, curses and shrine politics. Suzuki’s artwork is expressive and lively, with humour balancing more serious romantic and mythological storylines. Her work sits within shōjo manga, supernatural romance and Japanese folklore fantasy. Kamisama Kiss is the defining series for readers who like slow-burn romance, fox spirits and episodic encounters that gradually build into a larger supernatural mythology. Read more Less
