"I belong to you" THE FACT THAT TOMOE SAID THIS TO NANAMI IN ONE CHAPTER, AND THEN THE NEXT THING HE'S SAYING HE DIDN'T WANT HER TO TELL HIM HOW MUCH SHE'S IN LOVE WITH HIM :'))))
STOP TORTURING NANAMI'S HEART AAAARGGHHHH I WANT TO STRANGLE TOMOE
Also Mamoru the monkey is so cute! I wish he can continue staying with Nanami, because it seems that Tomoe is hinting that he should be gone?

I kind of like this series. I want to like it. And I'm not actually disliking it, I don't think. I'm just... not all that into it right now. Which kind of sucks, since I want to. Right now, I think, I'm reading it and waiting to see it get better, to suck me in again, like it did at the beginning. Well, and for Tomoe. Always for Tomoe.
Anyway, most of this volume focuses on this kami gathering, which Nanami wants to be allowed to go to, and so starts competing with this other girl for the last spot. Tomoe doesn't think it's a good idea, but Otohiko wants to test them, while already having chosen Nanami. The other girl gets super competitive, and upset when she finds out it's rigged.
But before that, they're tested by having to take care of these eggs for three days, nurturing it, giving it their energy and all that. The girl, Kayako, starts getting hurt because of the egg taking so much from her, while Nanami ends up accidentally cracking hers, and getting a rather good little monkey-like pet (which is so freakin' cute!). (She's kind of just collecting people and creatures, isn't she? Like with Mizuki, too. A little weird, but I don't really mind.) She gets to name it according to what she wants it to be able to do, and learns how to care for it and use it, which is good. I'm hoping she'll actually start learning how to use her own abilities, since she hasn't done any of that yet, but whatever. This is a step in the right direction, right?
Anyway, they have to deal with this evil spirit at the school, and Kayako is having trouble because of this guy, but it all mostly works itself out by the end of the volume. This volume was alright. I'm not jittery with exciting, nor am I super excited for the next one, but I will get it at some point. And hope that the series gets better soon, and that Nanami gets better soon. And, mostly, that there are more chapters focused on Tomoe, and that have him butting heads with people, hopefully Kurama but Mizuki is good too. (Um, yea, those are kind of my favorite scenes.)

i've already thought this subconciously while reading the first five volumes, but it's even more obvious in this one: nanami's not a very proactive protagonist, huh? the story is always pushed forward by other characters dumping problems onto her lap or inadvertently barging into her life. she very rarely shows any initiative to start doing something on her own, or to even want things outside of just drifting along as a high schooler while juggling supernatural
responsibilities and/or shenanigans.
it isn't necessarily a bad thing on it's own, and i do think part of it is intentional to one of the points ms. suzuki is trying to make (i.e. it is unreasonable to dump godhood onto an average 16 year old and expect her to manage it well). but what makes it feel so flat is we don't see nanami wanting anything even in the mundane sense too, aside from getting some friends, and they barely have any screentime to make it feel important. does she not have any hobbies? any dreams or goals outside of school?? does she even think about her deadbeat dad at all???
from what i vaguely remember about this series, i don't think any of those things were answered or explored in-depth, but i read this over a decade ago so i could be wrong. we'll see! nanami is still enjoyable to read about regardless, i just wish she had more of a personality outside of being nice, dirt-poor, and liking tomoe

This volume introduced a rival - another human girl god. This was a really interesting dynamic, though I really wish we’d seen Nanami with some fire in her. She has small moments, especially when she berates the workshippers in the final chapters- but at the moment she’s becoming a very one dimensional character; the epitome of the ‘airhead with a heart of gold’ trope
