WhisperingYokai
⸻
After being abandoned by her gambling father, high school student Nanami Momozono suddenly becomes homeless. Her life changes when she meets Mikage, who gives her his home. When Nanami arrives, she discovers that the home is actually the Mikage Shrine-and that she has been made the new human Land God.
At the shrine, Nanami meets Tomoe, a powerful fox yokai who once served Mikage. Though Tomoe initially refuses to accept Nanami as his master, he eventually forms a contract with her and becomes her familiar, protecting her as she learns to balance her duties as a land god with her normal life as a high school student.
At school, Nanami becomes friends with a human girl named Eliana. However, Eliana accidentally discovers Nanami's secret when a yokai attacks and Tomoe is forced to reveal his true form while saving her. Though Tomoe distrusts her, Eliana promises to keep Nanami's identity as a land god a secret.
As time passes, Eliana quietly keeps the secret while dealing with her own complicated feelings for Tomoe. Meanwhile, Tomoe's heart belongs to Nanami, even though Nanami does not return his feelings.
However, Tomoe carries a tragic past. Five hundred years ago, he fell in love with a human woman named Yukiji and made a dangerous deal with a fallen god in order to become human and live with her. When Yukiji died before the promise could be fulfilled, Tomoe was cursed and slowly began dying. Mikage later saved him by sealing away his memories of Yukiji, hiding both the curse and the painful past
How well Tomoe and Eliana fall in love or well Tomoe's curse be the end of it all
