Shows that feel likeKamisama Kiss (2012–2015)

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. As the headstrong Tomoe tries to whip her into shape, Nanami finds that love just might have cute, pointed fox ears. With romance in the air, will the human deity be able to prove herself worthy of her new title?

If you loved Kamisama Kiss, the closest series we have are Cardcaptor Sakura (1998), The Legend of Korra (2012) and Never Have I Ever (2020). All three share Kamisama Kiss' warm and wistful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Looking for Alaska (2019).
