Kamisama Kiss OVA Episodes Begin Streaming on Crunchyroll Outside Japan

The special episodes of Kamisama Kiss are now easier to reach for fans outside Japan. TMS Entertainment announced that the Kamisama Kiss OVA specials are streaming on Crunchyroll, and that this marks the first time the episodes are available outside Japan.

What was announced

In a post shared alongside Crunchyroll, TMS Entertainment said the OVA run of five special episodes has arrived on the platform. The announcement frames the specials as a continuation of the story, inviting viewers to keep following Nanami Momozono and her fox familiar Tomoe. Until now these bonus episodes had not been offered to audiences outside Japan, so the streaming release fills a long standing gap for international viewers who had only ever seen the two television seasons.

What we know

The announcement covers availability rather than new production. The episodes themselves are existing OVA specials, and the news is that they can now be streamed internationally on Crunchyroll. No pricing, regional breakdown, or dub details were included in the announcement beyond the confirmation that the specials are live on the service.

Background

Kamisama Kiss premiered in October 2012 and ran for 13 episodes, and a second television season followed in January 2015 with 12 more. The comedy, romance, and supernatural series follows Nanami Momozono, an ordinary high school girl who is down on her luck until a stranger marks her as the new Land God and turns her life upside down. She learns 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 OVA specials sit alongside the two television seasons as short side stories that expand on the characters and their relationships. With the specials now on Crunchyroll, both the televised run and the bonus episodes are reachable in one place for viewers in supported regions.

For returning fans, the release is a chance to revisit the OVA chapters that rounded out the anime, and for newer viewers working through the main series it adds extra episodes without hunting down an import.
