In 2022 this romance aged well.
Even few years later I cant remember some show with similar plotline. Soft "watercolour-style" visuals also pleasant to see.

* Based on the manga by Suzuki Julietta.
After her father having run away due to gambling debts, and being evicted from her apartment, Nanami meets Mikage, a strange man who is afraid of dogs. Nanami saves Mikage from a dog and tells him her story. He gives Nanami his house as a thank you for saving him. Nanami accepts the offer, since she has nowhere else to go. Mikage draws up a map showing her where to go. Upon arriving, she finds that it is a run-down shrine. Nanami is then almost killed by Tomoe, who was expecting Mikage to finally return after his 20 year absence. She is then greeted by both Onikiri and Kotetsu, as the new land god of the shrine. Unable to accept Nanami as the new land god, Tomoe mocks her and then leaves the shrine, which, without Tomoe's power transforms back into a run-down state. Not wanting to rob Tomoe of his home and realizing that her powers as a god are too weak anyway Nanami leaves, but eventually is brought back by Tomoe after she seals a contract with him, making him her familiar.

It's a really funny lovestory with many slapstick moments. There is a gay man in it, but no shounen-ai and NO Trap! so don't be scared to watch it.

The anime turned out pretty well, but of course, the manga was better. This has a very good storyline, though it hadn't really evolved yet in the 13 episodes of the anime. I hope it gets renewed for a 2nd season!

Simply Beautiful. Has a good OP & ED. Funny characters, Great main character, Stunning Artwork and good animation. It can be childish at times, but other than that it was a good watch. Recommended for Comedy and Romance fans I wouldn't mind if it got another season ;). Hope it does :D.

Loved it. It's adorable, silly and it doesn't really feel like there needs to be more episodes (as I always feel with other short animes). I also really enjoyed the songs, specially the ED.
