神様はじめました [Kamisama Hajimemashita] #14
Kamisama Kiss, Vol. 14
Nanami Momozono is alone and homeless after her dad skips town to evade his gambling debts and the debt collectors kick her out of her apartment. So when a man she's just saved from a dog offers her his home, she jumps at the opportunity. But it turns out that his place is a shrine, and Nanami has unwittingly taken over his job as a local deity!
Himemiko and Kotaro’s happy ending has triggered some confusing flashbacks for Tomoe, and his memories are affecting more than just his mood. The shrine has started to collapse because Tomoe isn’t strong enough to maintain it, and things have gotten so bad that the kami Mikage returns. He explains to Nanami that Tomoe is dying from a 500-year-old curse, and there’s nothing she can do to save him!

YESSSS nanami rewriting history to save the past, present and future 💖
January 8, 2021
THIS VOLUME WAS THE BEST OF THE BEST. I FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING IS COMING TO AN END AND I'M SAD BUT SO EXCITED TO SEE HOW IT TURNS OUT. My only complaint would be that the plot twist was very predictable, but maybe I feel this way because I've read several series with the same plot twist so I saw it coming. IT'S STILL AMAZING THOUGH!

The fox demon upon whom the protagonist has a crush is dying from a curse caused by a broken promise to an old flame. Obviously, the only solution is time travel!
I'm still not a big fan of the main couple, but I like the heroine's moxie in always plunging forward . . . even if it is into the past.

Yukiji is so beautiful bro I feel so bad for her
September 20, 2013
No spoilers.
NO MORE LIGHT AND FLUFFY. BLOOD AND FEUDAL JAPAN AND EVIL YOKAI. This is a shoujo series worthy of reading. This has PLOT, COMPLEX CHARACTERS, and PAIRINGS I AM INVESTED IN. And the anime just HINTED at Tomoe and his past. :(
THIS is what the anime never included. And reading this volume, I can't understand why they couldn't try-I mean, us fans would lend them money to do so, I HOPE-really because this would have made the series a SUCCESS. In the anime, you have our awesome heroine who slowly is bogged down with her FEELS.....and the manga shows her badass side, her devotion and charisma and who her shinshie truly is.
I cried, I felt my heart ache, I prayed for the characters safety!!!! This volume left me so torn. Not in a bad way. You see who Yukiji really is, and DEAR GOD that last page was OMG. How is Julietta Suzuki going to weave this plot, which has become such an intricate and brilliant thing? I am so excited to find out!
I am not including spoilers, but I will say that what you read will make you rethink everything you know. the characters you have been following all presented such a side to them that I felt my heart break when I realized the gravity of the situation they were in, and the choice Nanami had to make, as well as her friends utter and complete faith in her. And their love for her. The things Nanami must do is enough to make me proud of her and deathly afraid for her. She is so strong, and driven but I fear for her. Some may think she is being "too angsty" in this volume. I can't believe you would think this. After what is going on, WHO WOULDN'T BE THINKING THOSE SAME THINGS!? She still kicks butt and is pushing through, so don't tell me you could do any better. I know I couldn't.
*She is the friend I wish I could have, and the person I wish I could be.*
You will meet characters that you thought you knew, but once you meet them, you discover they are NOT what you believed. I am so shocked, and in awe. I love this series. I wish everyone could read this. PLEASE do yourself a favor. My feels have engulfed me, and I must share them!!!!!!!!

I CRIED SO HARD AT *A CERTAIN SCENE* THAT I LITERALLY LET OUT A PAINED NOISE I THINK SUZUKI-SENSEI IS TRYING TO KILL ME

After waiting six months for this volume, the wait was worth it.
Nanami is such a delightful heroine who refuses to give up even if everyone around her tells her that there is nothing that she can do to stop the curse from taking Tomoe's life. We're jumping back to the past in this volume, and while Mikage warns Nanami that going into the past will change the present, I have to wonder if her time meddling has already been taken into account. It's going to be interesting to see where this goes. Next volume in...only four months. So much better than six. (Though still not soon enough!)

evil tomoe >>>
April 4, 2022
I believe this is one of my favourite volumes out of the entire series 🥺💖 THE WAY I CRIED READING THIS ONE 😭💗💗💗
Tomoe's curse becomes worse and now that he's dying, Mikage-sama returns to be there during his last breaths. It's a painful time for Nanami because there's not much she can do to ease Tomoe's pains, and Tomoe rejects her when she wants to be by his side 😭💔 I can't stop crying seeing how desperate Nanami feels. But I love how strong Nanami is and she will not give up, not until she's tried her best. Her character arc is so wonderful to follow ❤
When Nanami plans to go back to the past to save Tomoe from the curse, it hurts Mizuki because if Nanami changes anything from the past, it will mean he's going to be abandoned. When Nanami finally realises it and went to comfort Mizuki, it's another round of tears from me because they care and depend on each other so much, it hurts to even consider the possibility of them being separated 😭😭
And I cried again when Nanami unknowingly meets Yonomori-sama when she goes back to the past to find clues to save Tomoe. Yonomori-sama is such a gentle kami and she shelters Nanami when she is in need– it's no surprise how much Mizuki loves Yonomori-sama 🥺💗
BUT THE TWIST AT THE END??? I think I finally understand Mikage-sama's smile when he notices Nanami going back to the past? The twist is quite predictable and I had expected it while reading through this volume, BUT DEAR LORD, I LOVED IT SO MUCH 😭💖💖 I'M SO SO HAPPY IT TURNS OUT THIS WAY FOR NANAMI AND TOMOE even if it's still complicated how Tomoe is going to be saved 🥲💗

Ja obiecuję, idę w najbliższym czasie do jedynej filii, jaka ma pozostałe tomy, bo fakt, że główna przestała je kupować po tym, jest żałosny. Tu się tyle zadziało, że aż nie wiem za co się chwycić — oczywiście, jak wspominałam kilkukrotnie, mniej więcej przebieg fabuły znam i do czego to wszystko będzie zmierzać, ale w anime ten łuk fabularny był poprowadzony w inny sposób, a tutaj… no mam nadzieję, że będzie jeszcze ciekawiej, bo ten tom trafia do moich ulubionych z całej serii i oby tak dalej. 5/5⭐

OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH. This just took the most epically amazing and fabulous twist EVER. I'm so glad I finished my assignment earlier today and I can binge this story arc until it's finished! On to 15!
manga-hwa-hua
May 1, 2013When I started this series, I wasn't very enthused about it. But chapter after chapter, Nanami, Tomoe and all of their acquaintances slowly won me over.
In this volume, Tomoe falls sick and Nanami tries to timetravel in order to help. She learns a lot about his past, or at least starts to.
I'm very glad VIZ picked this one up since I wouldn't have started the series otherwise. It might be a silly Shoujo, but it's an enjoyable read with some very strong moments.

Thanks to my library for having a copy available to borrow when mine turned out to be missing the last chapter and a half—particularly bad for this volume because it has quite a breathless ending as Nanami seeks to rescue Tomoe in the past.
You’re definitely going to want to have volume 15 on hand because aieeeee!
Two thumbs up!

There will be SPOILERS in this review!
You know, these volumes just keep getting better. I just love when things start connecting and random elements in the story start making sense. Oh, and I also just want to say that the anime probably cut off just before the plot really got going so that’s a shame.
Can we talk about how great this volume is though? So my man Tomoe is dying, right, and now Nanami wants to save him so she wants to use the incense burner to go back to the past and prevent Tomoe from making a contract with a fallen kami. But Mikage is against it yada yada he is useless and Nanami goes away and that’s when the good things start happening.
I love her interaction with Kirihito. Bro actually just wants to use her to get his body back from the realm of the dead or whatever and Nanami is just chilling there. Also even though he is trying to be threatening and scary he just gives Nanami some randomly profound advice in the process which is just hilarious.
So then she goes to the past (despite Mikage being against it but I don’t really like this guy anymore so I don’t care) and she first meets Mizuki’s former master which is just adorable because Mitsuha is really adorable.
She also meets Yukiji which is great because she seems nice enough though she doesn’t seem to like yokai. This is why I have a theory that Nanami is actually the woman he fell in love with and that’s also why he failed to transform into a human but that’s just a theory.
I also love how eager Nanami is to save and protect Tomoe despite everyone hating him. Oh and then he helps her as well which is really wholesome because at this point he doesn’t even know her.
Anyway, this is one of the best volumes so far. I’m definitely giving it 5 stars and now I’m actually really hooked into the story and I need to know what happens next although the next volume is really short for some reason. We’ll see.

Н – нагнетание. Бедная Нанами, совсем неудивительно, что в какой-то момент она совсем пала духом (особенно когда один очкастый господин прессует настолько, что остается только бежать). На фоне нетипичного для нее пессимизма особенно ценно вмешательство К. Эта парочка удивительна вместе, пускай даже их встреча служит лишь двигателем основного сюжета.
Из хорошего – встреча с ками, с которой познакомили давно (и опосредованно). Всегда приятно возвращаться к историям, что имеют мощное воплощение в настоящем. Респект.
Эта арка обещает быть длинной и с приключениями. Кое-кто уже столько шишок набил, что уже ничего не страшно. А еще весь том усиленно намекает на нестыковки ранее подкинутой истории. Начиная с ярой и неприкрытой ненависти Ю. к ёкаям (рассказ о вселенской любви выглядит крайне сомнительно после того, как местные NPC сливают информацию касательно ее деревни). И заканчивая последней главой, где кое-кто занимает «чужое» место, нарушая главный закон путешествий во времени. Если провести линию дальше, то напрашивается вывод, что с самого начала это была история Нанами (?) Читаем!

AHHHH!!! That cliff hanger! OHMYGOD!
This volume is about Nanami trying to save Tomoe from a curse he'd entered into in his past and to do so she must go into the past where she meets Yukiji (Tomoe's long lost love). I was so shocked by Yukuji's reactions to Tomoe and demons in general so I'm wondering how she gets to the point of falling in love with him. I enjoyed seeing Mizuki's past master kamisama.
I mean, we all know by know or can guess why Yukiji and Nanami feel such a strong bond to one another, but it was still nice to see Yukiji helping Nanami. Yukiji is just as fierce as Nanami when it comes to protecting someone from being wronged.
That twist though!!! I need to know how Tomoe goes from Such a good read! I cannot wait to read the next volume.

🌸ALERTA SPOILER🌸
El final feliz de Himemiko y Kotaro ha desencadenado algunos flashbacks confusos para Tomoe, y sus recuerdos están afectando más que solo su estado de ánimo. El santuario ha comenzado a colapsar porque Tomoe no es lo suficientemente fuerte para mantenerlo, y las cosas se han puesto tan mal que el kami Mikage regresa. Él le explica a Nanami que Tomoe está muriendo por una maldición de hace 500 años, ¡y no hay nada que ella pueda hacer para salvarlo!
En mi opinión, aquí empieza la parte mas intensa e impresionante de la historia y me emociona ver como evoluciona en los siguientes tomos.
Pd: amo a tomoe, lo diré las veces que sea necesario.

I'm very intrigued by this. Basically, Nanami has gone back in time to save Tomoe's life, but Mikage has warned her not to change the past because Tomoe's love for Yukiji is what ultimately brings him to the Mikage shrine. When, Nanami gets there, she finds that Yukiji hates yokai and has no intention on saving Tomoe. This is confusing to me because in the past, Yukiji does save him and that's how the fall in love. So far as I can tell, Nanami has done nothing to alter the past, so how is this Yukiji different? Is it possible that Nanami is actually the Yukiji that Tomoe knows? I'm very interested to see how this plays out in the next volume! I love a story that keeps me guessing!

I liked this series before, but this volume, the intro to the next story arc as Nanami tries to save Tomoe is really awesome. I had some teary eyes at one point there... ... but truly this whole section of the story was very well done.
Volumes 14-17 are pretty awesome, and really hit at the heart of the story as Nanami goes back in time to rescue Tomoe. The author really does a great job of tying everything together and letting Nanami really shine.
