The Apothecary DiariesCreator’s New Manga is Perfect ForKamisama KissFans

Published for the first time in 2008,Kamisama Kisscontinues to reign over fans’ hearts. From the upbeat opening theme to the fun cast of characters, there’s a lot that the series offers. However, what stays with fans is undoubtedly the sweet romance between Nanami and Tomoe.

The Failure At God Schoolstarts out similarly, as we see Nagi looking for a God for her family shrine, after her grandmother’s passing. Nagi finds herself in supernatural trouble as a mysterious force threatens a young boy. Nagi tries her best to fight that force but eventually gets saved by a mysterious man.

From the appearance of the main characters to the similar fantasy setting,The Failure At God Schoolis strikingly reminiscent ofKamisama Kiss. It makes fans wonder ifThe Failure At God Schoolcould be the next big shojo manga.

IsThe Failure At God Schoolthe Next Big Shojo Manga?

With only a few chapters out,The Failure At God Schoolhas caught fans’ attention as a result of the creator’s success withThe Apothecary Diaries. Not only that, but the first few pages bring back the charm of the classic shoujo series.The Apothecary Diarieshas a female main character and romance in it, but it’s far from what’s typically defined as shojo.

It’s hard to say ifThe Failure At God Schoolwill be more dramatic or romantic. Depending on its themes, it could very well become the next shojo success! The manga is currently being serialized in Hana to Yume Magazine and has been licensed by Yen Press for the official English translation. This could be considered a huge feat for how only a short time has passed since the manga’s debut. The manga has taken off on a hopeful note, and hopefully, it’ll only get better from here on!
