I've Started the 'Being a God' Thing Again

As the land god of the Mikage Shrine, Nanami is invited to the annual gathering of the gods in Izumo, but on the one condition that she must pass a test administered by Otohiko. (Source: FUNimation)

The God Goes to Izumo

Now that Nanami has passed Otohiko's test, she has trouble deciding which one of her familiars to bring with her to the Divine Assembly. She has Tomoe and Mizuki settle the matter over a game of shogi, while she goes into town to buy a plane ticket. She later encounter four former gods who mock her while protecting a man named Kirihito, and she has Mamoru vanquish them after Kirihito gets seriously hurt. She leaves after he attempts to kiss her, but she is unaware that Kirihito is actually a yokai named Akura-Ou trapped in human form. Nanami chooses Mizuki to accompany her to Izumo, while Tomoe, despite winning the game of shogi, is forced to stay at the shrine and pose as her at school. After arriving in Izumo, Mizuki brings her to the Grand Shrine, but they get separate along the way. Nanami is not welcomed very much by the other gods due to her being a human. While Mizuki tags along with Otohiko, who is running late, Nanami is encouraged by a disembodied figure, perhaps Mikage, who tells her that her human side makes her unique from the other gods. This gives her the confidence to enter the chambers into the Divine Assembly. (Source: Wikipedia)

The God Falls Into the Netherworld

Ookuninushi, lord of the Grand Shrine and host of the Divine Assembly, personally asks Nanami to go to Yomotsu Hirasaka, the portal to the Netherworld where only gods can enter and exit, for two days to prevent any yokai from passing through. In exchange, Nanami requests Ookuninushi to search the whereabouts of Mikage. When Otohiko takes Nanami to Yomotsu Hirasaka, Nanami is shocked to see Kirihito being taken into the Netherworld by a yokai named Tekkimaru, who immediately rots from the purple flames. Nanami comes in after Kirihito and tries to grab hold of him. Meanwhile, Tomoe returns to the shrine after a stressful morning, and because he misses Nanami already, he decides to go to the World Over Yonder to drink himself to sleep. A group of tanuki yokai geisha discuss that their caretaker named Mizutama witnessed when Akura-Ou slaughtered a group of apprentice geisha at an okiya 600 years ago, having her life spared by Tomoe before running away. Tomoe, waking up after thinking about Nanami, rushes back to the shrine, only to learn that he has to study for a vocabulary test in the morning. In the Netherworld, Nanami and Kirihito evade a mob of caveman yokai, and they are later summoned to meet Izanami, the Goddess of the Netherworld. (Source: Wikipedia)

The God Races Across the Netherworld

When Nanami and Kirihito meet Izanami at her fortress, she imprisons Kirihito, telling Nanami that Kirihito possesses the body of a dead man and advising her to leave the Netherworld without him. However, Nanami decides to take matters into her own hands and tries to find Kirihito using a white talisman. In a flashback, Akura-Ou is confined in the Netherworld, where he meets Kirihito Mori, a mountain climber who dies in an avalanche. Out of boredom and curiosity, Akura-Ou accepts Kirihito's request to possess his body before waking up in the hospital, so as to send an apology to his mother for having an argument with her before his death. Back in the present, Nanami manages to find Kirihito in a prison cell, but he concerns why she is rescuing him. As they escape the fortress, Kirihito shows Nanami that he took a lock of her hair earlier so that his human body can survive in the Netherworld. The two run for their lives when a cat yokai named Hio comes after them. Tomoe, who was informed by Otohiko that Nanami is in the Netherworld, goes to Yomotsu Hirasaka. Tomoe is halted by Takehaya, the War God, who placed a seal on Yomotsu Hirasaka. Kotetsu reverts Tomoe back to his yokai form, allowing Tomoe to break the seal and enter the Netherworld to save Nanami and Kirihito. Although Kirihito tries to attack Tomoe, he leaves after asking Tomoe what Nanami means to him. (Source: Wikipedia)

The God Makes Her Second Romantic Confession

Nanami returns to the Grand Shrine, where it is the fourth day of the Divine Assembly, and Ookuninushi informs Nanami that Tomoe has been imprisoned for reverting to his yokai form. Nanami rushes over to the prison, but Tomoe tells her to give him some time before deciding to return to her service as her familiar. Mizuki, visiting Tomoe to deliver some peach pills that Nanami obtained as a gift, explains to him that he has feelings for Nanami not caused by when he was a familiar. Tomoe later tests and confirms this premise while Nanami was sleeping, but she is unaware that the kiss she had in her dream was actually real. Tomoe is forgiven by Ookuninushi and is granted to be Nanami's familiar again. After Nanami and Tomoe hang out during a festival, things go awry when Nanami tries to take off her jacket with only a camisole underneath, of which Tomoe sees that as immodest, making things awkward between them. On the last day of the Divine Assembly, Nanami finally finds Mikage, who explains that he wants to rekindle Tomoe's concern for humanity by having Tomoe interact with her. Mikage then disappears right when Tomoe catches sight of him. (Source: Wikipedia)

The God Meets a Little Tengu

Ookuninushi thanks Nanami for her participation in the Divine Assembly. However, she feels discouraged when Ookuninushi tells her that it is not possible for humans and yokai to have a relationship with each other. She later asks Tomoe and Mizuki to return to the shrine without her. She hangs out with Himemiko of the Swamp and travels with her all over the town. Later on, Himemiko advises Nanami to enjoy her time with Tomoe for as long as she lives, since a human lives much shorter than a yokai. Meanwhile, Kirihito is visited by a yokai named Yatori, who wants to serve him in the cause of reviving Akura-Ou. On the way home from school, Nanami and Tomoe chance upon a child crow tengu named Botanmaru, who is looking for another crow tengu named Shinjuurou. However, Tomoe is mean to Botanmaru because he cannot fly, and Nanami tries to help him. In a cafe, Botanmaru explains that Shinjuurou descended from Mount Kurama at a young age after failing to learn how to fly. Nanami is shocked to learn that Botanwaru was actually referring to Shinjuurou Kurama after spotting a concert advertisement on a billboard. Nanami takes Botanmaru with her to attend the concert, where Kurama debuts a new album cover. (Source: Wikipedia)

The God Goes to Mount Kurama

Botanmaru begs Kurama to return to Mount Kurama because Soujoubou, the third chief of the tengu village, has collapsed, filling the area with a cloud of miasma. Kurama recalls that he was mistreated by the villagers when he was younger, due to being Soujoubou's son, but only Suiro treated him like an older brother. Nanami and Tomoe go to Mount Kurama with Kurama and Botanmaru, walking through a foggy forest. Kurama encounters an evil Suiro wielding a scythe, but he figures out that it was a hallucination after hearing a flute playing nearby, having nostalgia about Suiro. Once the four enter the village, they are welcomed by Suiro, who sadly lives in a dilapidated house away from the compound. It is shown that Yatori is really serving under Jirou, who is awaiting and determined to become the successor to the throne in a few days. As Nanami runs in the forest to use the restroom, she comes across a rotting cherry blossom tree, where three crow tengu yokai children explain that it is a thousand-year-old sacred tree. Nanami uses her powers to restore the cherry blossom tree, and the children leave with excitement, although her powers only make it last temporarily. As the leaves fall, Jirou stares directly at Nanami with a speechless face. (Source: Wikipedia)

The God Sneaks in

Jirou grabs hold of Nanami, but she manages to get away from him, thanks to Mamoru. Tomoe finds Nanami and brings her to back to Suiro, who says that delivering the peach pills to Soujoubou is no easy task since he is secured inside the Grand Hall, a sanctum in the compound guarded by Jirou's forces. After Kurama is haggled by three crow tengu villagers who want him to be the fourth chief, which he was no intention of being, Nanami and Tomoe reject Suiro's advice of taking Kurama back to the town before involving themselves. Kurama comes up with a plan for him, Nanami and Tomoe to infiltrate the Grand Hall. Before bedtime, it is devised that Nanami will have Botanmaru accompany her to find Soujoubou, while Tomoe and Kurama are left to face Jirou. At night, Nanami sleepwalks and accidentally lays in Tomoe's bed, which stirs up Tomoe's feelings until Nanami wakes up and runs to her bed in embarrassment. In the morning, Tomoe lies about not holding Nanami while in her sleep, claiming he was half asleep and recalling nothing of the sort. Tomoe and Kurama are welcomed past the front gate, while Nanami and Botanmaru try to find a way into the Grand Hall. (Source: Wikipedia)

The God Is Blindsided

Kurama shares a drink with Jirou in hopes of getting him drunk to weaken the barrier around the compound. When that fails, Tomoe transforms into Nanami to allure Jirou, which actually does the trick, allowing Nanami and Botanmaru to sneak in the Grand Hall and find Suojoubou, who is in a frozen state, but the peach pills do not help. Nanami and Botanmaru are caught by Yatori, who informs Jirou about this, so Jirou confines Tomoe and Kurama in an electrifying iron cage and then goes with Yatori to see Nanami and Botanmaru, who are locked up in the basement. After Jirou leaves, Yatori reveals to Nanami and Botanmaru that he took the soul of Soujoubou by way of deception. Upon hearing this, Nanami has Mamoru vanquish Yatori, who refused to tell where Soujoubou's soul is hiding. The three crow tengu children run into Jirou, who shuns them for not paying attention to where they are going, making them upset. Suddenly, Nanami uses the idea to create a barrier around the compound to override Jirou's barrier, which disintegrates the iron cage and purifies the entire compound. (Source: Wikipedia)

The God Receives a Romantic Confession

Nanami uses a white talisman to find the location of Soujoubou's soul, although it leads her to a dead end. However, Jirou finds her and reveals a hidden passageway to a cave. He tells her that a thunderbolt beast there has permanently disabled Suiro from flying after saving Kurama in the past. When Nanami and Jirou encounter the thunderbolt beast, Jirou is badly wounded while protecting Nanami. Tomoe finds them and defeats the thunderbolt beast, which actually contains Soujoubou's soul. Jirou confesses his love for Nanami before passing out, while Kurama and Botanmaru leave to return the soul back to Soujoubou, who later awakens fully cured. Jirou is given peach pills to recover, and he recalls Soujoubou telling him not to be hard on himself for making mistakes in life. The mountain gradually heals, and an eternal cherry blossom celebration commences. Jirou takes Nanami high up onto the cherry blossom tree, wishing for her to remain in the tengu village with him. He thanks her for the peach pills and returns the rest of them to her, surprised that she originally got them to give to Tomoe as a parting gift someday. Jirou asks her to stay a little while longer so that he may always remember her with the cherry blossoms. Later on, Nanami gets drunk and Tomoe carries her on his back. She falls asleep after confessing her love, to which Tomoe silently confesses his love in reply. (Source: Wikipedia)

The God Goes Back to Being a Child

In his shrine, Kirihito goes into the Netherworld with Yatori using a stone mirror to retrieve Akura-Ou's body. Once there, Yatori, who claims he formerly served under Akura-Ou, remembers how Akura-Ou and Tomoe traveled together and defeated any yokai that stood in their way, but Kirihito gets angry over the fact that Tomoe abandoned Akura-Ou after falling in love with a human girl. Although Akura-Ou's body is found on a mountain of fire, Yatori brings Kirihito back home since their bodies cannot handle the miasma within the Netherworld. Kirihito is now determined to do whatever necessary to reclaim Akura-Ou's body. However, after fumes start to leak out of the stone mirror, Kirihito is forced to smash it before things get any worse. Meanwhile, Nanami receives a proposal to host a wedding for Himemiko, but Tomoe is dismayed when Mizuki encourages her too much about it. Nanami, Tomoe and Mizuki head to the entrance of the Year God Shrine to receive a new talisman for the new year. Upon arrival, Nanami passes her labeled gate, despite Tomoe's orders to stay put. As Tomoe and Mizuki later passes through her gate, they are surprised to see that Nanami is transformed into a child, twelve years younger. In a flashback, Nanami's gambling father brings her a piece of chocolate before leaving again, while her ill mother is heckled by debt collectors, before Nanami returns home. (Source: Wikipedia)

The God Receives a Marriage Proposal

Nanami is taught by her mother to become an independent woman, since her father is a deadbeat and her mother is about to die. After viewing her childhood memories, Tomoe takes young Nanami away from Mizuki. After spending time with young Nanami while strolling around in the town, young Nanami asked Tomoe if he loves her, to which he confirms. Tomoe then proposes a marriage with her, to which she agrees. Just then, Mizuki carries Nanami out of the gate, and Tomoe is upset that Nanami is unable to remember him in her fantasy. Furthermore, Nanami does not know much about her mother, especially since all of the photos of her mother were burned in a house fire long ago. When Nanami, Tomoe and Mizuki make it to the Year God Shrine, they are reluctant to find out that it is blocked by the Lord Year God's sheep, of which its wool takes up a lot of room. Nanami calms the sheep down so that the Lord Year God can trim its wool. The Lord Year God gives Nanami not only the talisman, but also a picture of her mother, before she and her familiars return to their shrine. As life returns to normal for everybody, Nanami tries to remember who made a promise to marry her when she was a child, and she later realizes that it was Tomoe. Nanami states that she won't get married, "probably", which causes Tomoe to blush. (Source: Wikipedia)
