“Nanami has been missing a lot of school because of her new duties at the shrine. But every time she goes to class, something seems to go wrong! And now her instinct to rescue animals has turned and bit her on the wrist! Is she marked for life…or death?!”

This is the third volume in the Kamisama Kiss series and was a very fun read.

Nanami is determined to go to school but while there she rescues a white snake who in turn marks her arm. This means her and the snake are betrothed!!! When the snake kidnaps Nanami it’s up Tomoe to get her back. Things between Nanami and Tomoe have gotten a bit tense, will Nanami ever be able to balance both her temple duties and her high school education!

I have been enjoying this series quite a bit. It’s sweet and funny and entertaining. It’s well drawn and I love the dynamic between Nanami and Tomoe. The other shrine gods and yokai that we meet are also really intriguing.

Overall I enjoy this series and plan on continuing to read it. I would recommend if you like humorous urban fantasies with a bit of romantic tension in them.
