8	!!Tropes in the story:
9
10	* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: In chapter 1, Isana gives this to Shinta to comfort him when it seems that they are about to lose.
11	* BeautifulAllAlong: [[spoiler:Sano]]
12	* BerserkButton: Don't harm happy couples near Shinata. He will be very pissed and [[spoiler:attack even the enemy god, which is technically against the rules]].
13	* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Guardian god Kuebiko's agent Sakura Noto is naturally strong and fast from working on a farm.
14	* CloseCallHaircut: Shinta is a regular recipient of this.
15	* DivineDate: Shinta's and Isana's relationship, though at first it's mostly one-sided on the former's side.
16	* DoubleEntendre: When Shinta was talking about the RedStringOfFate, everyone else thought he was talking about something else.
17	-->'''Shinta''':"That is, when there's a little skinship between Isana and I... It'll get bigger due to excitement!!!"\
18	'''Yorutono, Kasama, and Isana''' are dumbfounded at what he said.\
19	'''Isana''': "Wh...Wh...Wh...What...You idiot! What...What gets bigger...? What are you saying...?"\
20	'''Shinta''': "Ah...The red string, of course."
21	* ImprobableWeaponUser: 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.
22	** Shinta's first wish grants him and Isana the RedStringOfFate. They use it as a rope to bind, hit, and block their opponents.
23	** 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.
24	** 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.
25	** Mirei's first wish grants her the power to control whoever looks into her eyes.
26	** 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 [[YourMindMakesItReal a nightmare that causes physical damage]].
27	* InvisibleToNormals: Gods are invisible to humans unless they are agents. Isana is visible due to Shinta's wish.
28	* LoopholeAbuse: Technically, it is a major foul for the human agent to strike the opponent's god-partner in a battle. [[spoiler:Shinata got around this by "accidentally" hitting the enemy god while in a rage. He then repeated it several times over]].
29	* LoveAtFirstSight: Sano for Mirei Ayanokouji.
30	* LoveGoddess: Isana is the goddess of marriage. Ironically though she admits she has very little knowledge of marriage.
31	* MagicallyBindingContract
32	* {{Miko}}: Isana's smaller girl form looks like one.
33	* RedStringOfFate: 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.
34	* {{Shapeshifting}}: Isana can shapeshift from her titanic [[spoiler:sealed]] form to a girl around Shinta's age.
35	** {{Sizeshifter}}: She can shrink her titanic form so she can sit on the couch.
36	* ShrinesAndTemples: Every 100 years, the gods have a competition for territory. Smaller territories are shrines while larger ones are akin to temples.

39	* TVNeverLies: Shinano believes that it takes a karate master to break the top of beer bottles.
