  • Broken Base:
    • The anime ending, which basically takes something that took less than seven pages to resolve in the manga and stretches it to a whole episode. The main complaints for it are that the anime made it actiony in a series that doesn't need it; and that it not only messes with several characterizations — specifically Amaterasu, who in the manga who would never just sit there and watch while Uka faded away, and in fact did everything in her power to stop it — but also gives a far different message than the manga did, in that Humans and Gods can never be compatible. This is contrast to everything the manga has shown of interactions between the divine and mortals.
    • Chapter 39 also sparks this reaction. Many readers became angry when Sanjou declared she wanted to be friends with Sumizome, mainly because it seemed like a lackluster resolution to their character arcs and relationship. Some also left accusing the author of being a Heteronormative Crusader, since Inari's hetero relationship had just been upgraded and Touka and Uka's hetero relationship also got upgraded in the next chapter, while the lesbian relationship went nowhere.
      • Which was made even worse by Word of God, when the author admitted that they were unwilling to give the lesbian relationship an upgrade, and tacked on the Pseudo-Romantic Friendship angle and Sanjou's asexual orientation to suggest that it would happen eventually... but not on their watch.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: For a lot of readers the main draw of the series is the Touka/Uka relationship, which they felt came off as far sweeter and more heartfelt than the main pairing.
  • Les Yay: There is a bit between Sumizome and Inari when the two first start becoming friends, which acts as a bit of foreshadowing to Sumizome's orientation.
  • The Scrappy: Inari herself. A lot of readers find her to be irritating and selfish and find her relationship with Tanbabashi rather annoying overall.
