Where to Watch Kamisama Kiss in the UK

Kamisama Kiss makes every episode count, and right now it's all streaming on Netflix and beyond. One of the essential comedys. Full stop.

Originally commissioned by TV Tokyo, Kamisama Kiss quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. Nanami was just a normal high school girl down on her luck until a stranger’s lips marked her as the new Land God and turned her world upside down. Now, she’s figuring out the duties of a deity with the help of Tomoe, a reformed fox demon who reluctantly becomes her familiar in a contract sealed with a kiss. The new responsibilities—and boys—are a lot to handle, like the crow demon masquerading as a gorgeous pop idol and the adorable snake spirit who’s chosen the newly minted god to be his bride. The series ran for 2 seasons (2012–2015), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh rather than just smile politely, Kamisama Kiss is a strong candidate — fans of KJ File will recognise the sensibility immediately. It works alone or with company.
