What comes to mind when one mentions "religious themes"? Giant robots fighting over the end of the world where everything is named after Judeo-Christian terminology, maybe? Or vampire hunters in the employ of the Vatican? But what probably would not come to mind is a romantic comedy where the main gimmick involves a caricatured interpretation of the traditional monotheistic God-with-a-capital-G. Kamisama Kazoku definitely hits "only in Japan" levels of originality with that quirk, and it even nonchalantly plays the "Son of God" card without mentioning a certain carpenter from Galilee. But does it work as an actual romantic comedy? While it gets a lot of the little things right, it remains to be seen whether this story can rise above the genre's standards.
Volume 1 is quick to establish a simple formula for comedy: Samataro gets into a scrape, Dad reads his thoughts and waves an omnipotent finger, and madness ensues. When applied creatively, it leads to some wonderfully off-beat moments—a teacher suddenly going nuts, or an accident being miraculously averted. Add in Samataro's similarly powerful sisters, and more variations emerge, like the madcap outcomes of an "emotional roulette wheel." Yet that same formula can be eye-rollingly predictable as well, like when Samataro meets Kumiko after and she instantly decides to strip for him (and right away you can tell which demographic this series is geared toward).
