Tropes in the story
"Shinta:"That is, when there's a little skinship between Isana and I... It'll get bigger due to excitement!!!"
 * Affectionate Gesture to The Head: In chapter 1, Isana gives this to Shinta to comfort him when it seems that they are about to lose.
 * Beautiful All Along:
 * Blinding Bangs: Sano
 * Charles Atlas Superpower: Guardian god Kuebiko's agent Sakura Noto is naturally strong and fast from working on a farm.
 * Close Call Haircut: Shinta is a regular recipient of this.
 * Divine Date: Shinta's and Isana's relationship, though it is mostly one-sided on the former's side.
 * Double Entendre: When Shinta was talking about the Red String of Fate, everyone else thought he was talking about something else.

Yorutono, Kasama, and Isana are dumbfounded at what he said.

Isana: "Wh...Wh...Wh...What...You idiot! What...What gets bigger...? What are you saying...?"

Shinta: "Ah...The red string, of course.""


 * Improbable Weapon User: The agents of the gods fight using the power of their wish. The more territory a god has, the more wishes the god grants to their respective agent.
 * Shinta's first wish grants him and Isana the Red String of Fate. They use it as a rope to bind, hit, and block their opponents.
 * Shinano's first wish grants him strengthend hands to chop off beer bottle necks; he uses the bottle necks as a range attack. He can also practically just use his strengthend hands to attack his opponents directly.
 * Kasama's first wish grants him an Anti-Theft Safe that he can use to attack and trap his opponents, it can also be used to protect himself. The greedier he gets the more powerful it is.
 * Mirei's first wish grants her the power to control whoever looks into her eyes.
 * Sakura's tenth wish grants a large scarecrow. The scarecrow's power is when at least a strand of hair of the opponent is inserted into it, the opponent is put into a nightmare that causes physical damage.
 * Invisible to Normals: Gods are invisible to humans unless they are agents. Isana is visible due to Shinta's wish.
 * Love At First Sight: Sano for Mirei Ayanokouji.
 * Love Goddess: Isana is the goddess of marriage.

 * Opaque Nerd Glasses:
 * Miko: Isana's smaller girl form looks like one.
 * Red String of Fate: The 1st wish power Shinta has with his contract with Isana. It's size varies depending on each others' feelings for one another; Shinta's side size is large that it is wrapped around his wrist and Isana's side size is just tied to her pinkie finger.
 * Shapeshifting: Isana can shapeshift from her titanic form to a girl around Shinta's age.
 * Sizeshifter: She can shrink her titanic form so she can sit on the couch.

 * Shrines and Temples: Every 100 years, the gods have a competition for territory. Smaller territories are shrines while larger ones are akin to temples.
