Plot

A Kiss Note is a powerful notebook that makes anyone who has their name written together instantly fall in love if they kiss each other regardless of any circumstances. This magical and very familiar item belongs to an angel named Guri whose job as cupid is to create couples. However, she accidentally writes down Seiji Aino, a regular high school student, and unless he kisses someone, Guri will die. She convinces Seiji to go kiss his crush, Akane Hiyama, the school's popular girl, who turns out to harbor even stronger feelings for him, bordering on obsessive and psychotic. Eventually. Akane and Seiji come together, but not before Guri decides that she likes Seiji as well. What seems awesome to most guys becomes hell for Seiji, who just wants a normal relationship with girls.

She then told him that his name was written in the Kiss Note and if he did not kiss someone within the next 24 hours, she would die and he would remain a virgin for life. He eventually reveals his crush for Akane, only to find out her yandere tendencies. Seiji is a more-or-less levelheaded individual, trying to please all the women around him without hurting them. He, like all the others except for Guri, are minor angels as Guri made them all into a relationship together including Akane's half-sister, Yuzu. meanwhile, Seiji was asked by Guri's father, God to help her search for the meaning of love which he reluctantly agrees due to the conditions on the Kiss Note. As a result, they are all effectively immortal but they will still feel pain and if Guri fails to do her job, the people connected to her will cease to exist altogether. As they spend their daily lives being together, he realized that he already develops feelings towards Akane, Yuzu even Guri herself that linked together as couples in the Kiss Note. After learning some advice from the people he knows throughout his daily life, he managed to confess his true feelings towards Akane, Yuzu and Guri respectively. In the end of the manga, he married Akane, Yuzu and Guri in his wedding ceremony with the support of their families on both sides he recruited three girls in the Aino Family.
Guri (グリ)
Voiced by: Yoshino Aoyama[4] (Japanese); Jad Saxton[5] (English)
An Angel/Cupid. The literal child of God and the former Lady of Hell, Mavuro. Due to this, Guri has the natural tendency to "fall" easier than most angels. She often treats her duty as a Cupid like a joke, forming almost exclusively gay couples due to her love for male romance. However also due to this she goes over her quota for couples to be formed per month. Ironically, despite being a Cupid, she does not understand the concept of Love. In fact, the reason she is a cupid because her father wanted her to try to understand what love is, as that is one requirement for becoming God (God must love everyone). Therefore, Guri's father God asking Seiji to aid her in searching the meaning of love. Despite she once became a Devil and going to Hell due to Seiji's harsh and uncertain feelings towards her, Guri starts to recognize certain emotions when she is reunited back with Seiji and finally realized that she needs Seiji's love towards her after all when being asked by Seiji about her feelings to him thus turning her back into an Angel. Touched by Seiji's confession to her one day, Guri knows that she already found the true love of her life while crying in happiness. In the end of manga, she becomes one of the Seiji's brides along with Akane and Yuzu in the wedding ceremony and joins the Aino family. She is now Guri Aino.
Akane Hiyama (緋山 茜, Hiyama Akane)
Voiced by: Manami Numakura[4] (Japanese); Amber Lee Connors[5] (English)
The Class Idol of Seiji's school. Seiji initially had a crush on her prior to the start of the series, but failed to act on such emotions out of the belief that she is out of his league. Upon discovering this, Guri decides to use her as Seiji's lover so that she will not die due to the effects of the Kiss Note. However, Akane approaches him which startles Seiji causing him to reveal his kiss to Guri. This causes Akane to fly into a psychotic rage, as she had noticed his "loving stares" and eventually developed strong feelings for him as well. She begins to accuse him of cheating with her and then stabs Guri in the head, then revealing her immortality. Eventually Guri gets the two to kiss, calming Akane down briefly before aggravating her again by revealing that she added her own name as well. While she does often attack Seiji (mostly for comic relief), it is because she truly loves him and wants him to pay more attention to her. Akane has a habit of pulling out endless number of Gurkha knives hidden in her clothes to fight. She gets extremely violent (sometimes by unconscious reflex) should anyone try and steal Seiji from her, especially Guri and Shikimi. After listening to Seiji's confession together with Yuzu one day, Akane decides to settle down the past and live together peacefully with Yuzu and Guri as well. In the end of manga, she becomes one of Seiji's brides along with Yuzu and Guri in the wedding ceremony and joins the Aino Family. She is now Akane Aino.
Yuzu Kichougasaki (黄蝶ヶ崎 袖, Kichōgasaki Yuzu)
Voiced by: Yuki Nagano[4] (Japanese); Monica Rial[5] (English)
Younger half-sister of Akane, sharing the same father. She is in love with Akane, both as a sister and as a woman, although she later also develops more feelings for Seiji as her life goes on. Immensely protective of her sister, Yuzu often stalks Akane wherever she goes (which Akane is fully aware of and pays no mind to). She becomes good friends with Guri and Seiji, despite an initial rocky start. Yuzu is also added into their harem, when Guri adds her name in the Kiss Note to Akane and Seiji's anger. Yuzu possesses the ability to conjure a powerful defensive barrier inherited from her family that can defend her from everything between Akane's Gurkha knives to an oncoming truck. Due to her barrier ability, Yuzu found it difficult to make friends in her youth as her peers feared her for it. Guri becomes fast friends with her, however, after complimenting her ability as cool and later sharing her love for male romance with Yuzu. Although she is shy towards Seiji, Yuzu managed to find the courage to kiss Seiji and gives a Valentine's gift to him. Upon Seiji's confession to her one day, Yuzu bursts into tears of happiness while hugging him together with Akane. In the end of manga, she becomes one of Seiji's brides along with Akane and Guri in the wedding ceremony and joins the Aino Family. She is now Yuzu Aino.
Shikimi Shiramine (白峰 樒, Shiramine Shikimi)
Voiced by: Yumi Hara[4] (Japanese); Felecia Angelle[5] (English)
The pink-haired, sadistic, hollow and manipulative cousin of both Akane and Yuzu. Shikimi decides to enter Seiji's school in disguise upon discovering his relationship with Akane and Yuzu. She requests that Guri add her to his harem for the sole reason of gaining the immortality/divine protection due to being partnered to Guri. However, Guri rejects the request because she could tell there was no actual love in her for Seiji. Shikimi's favorite hobby is "afflicting people", as it is what brings her joy more than anything else. A running gag in the series is that Shikimi often angers Akane with her attempts to seduce or kiss Seiji. As the times flies, Shikimi had changed to a better person due to Seiji's forgiveness and a promise between Guri and her. She even befriends with Akane and Yuzu in the end.

Supporting

Akua Aino (藍野 あくあ, Aino Akua)
Voiced by: Rie Takahashi[6] (Japanese); Madeleine Morris[5] (English)
Seiji's tomboyish younger sister. During their childhood together, Akua was originally far more girly than her present age. She began to change herself however, when Seiji began spending less and less time with her in order to get his attention back. Despite this, Seiji failed to notice her to the point where it developed into animosity against Seiji, much to his confusion. Upon discovering Seiji's newfound harem, her discontent grows further, as she would rather have him to herself. Akua tends to injure Seiji whenever she is irritated with how ignorant Seiji is about her emotions. However, she still cares for him and jumps to defense, when he is insulted.
Coraly (コラリ, Korari)
Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama[6] (Japanese); Sonny Strait[5] (English)
Guri's boss, a higher level angel who monitors the activities of Cupids under his jurisdiction. Unlike other angels, Coraly usually does not take a physical form on Earth, and often uses the Aino family's pet cat Blue as a vessel since his introduction. Coraly states that he has absolutely no understanding of the Human concept of Love, and has a tendency to refer to humans as lower level beings compared to himself. Coraly has a habit of being very vain about his appearance, especially when he uses his true form. A running gag in the series is that despite Coraly's assertion that his form is beautiful, most people find him scary instead and are unable to look directly at him. The only exception is Akua when she sees his true form for the first time, calling it beautiful to the shock of Seiji and the joy of Coraly, but his cat form still scares her off.
Kami (神様, Kamisama)
Voiced by: Hōchū Ōtsuka[6] (Japanese); Barry Yandell[5] (English)
The current God, also Guri's father. Despite being the highest authority in Heaven, he often slacks off and uses his special television set to view events on earth freely. Has a habit of doting on his daughter and spying on her via his TV. He gives Seiji the mission to teach Guri about love so she can be a proper cupid and eventual God. He claims his wife left him due to loving all beings equally as his job demands.
Maou (魔王)
Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu[6] (Japanese); J. Michael Tatum[5] (English)
The current lord of Hell. Originally, Hell was ruled by Guri's mother Mavuro, his predecessor until she left after conceiving Guri. He has an inferiority complex, and considers himself unfit to rule Hell. Despite his pleas that Mavuro remain as the Devil Lord, he fails to convince her before she disappears. This causes him to turn to Guri as a potential successor since she is Mavuro's daughter and seek to drag her down to Hell by any means to accomplish this.
Tarō Tsuruoka (鶴岡 太郎, Tsuruoka Tarō)
Voiced by: Yasuaki Takumi (Japanese); Kyle Phillips (English)[6]
Yuzu's personal attendant and chauffeur assigned to her by her mother, Ameisha. Despite the fact that he is supposed to report on Yuzu's actions to her mother, he often is forced into helping Yuzu stalk Akane. Tsuruoka tends to be very paranoid and prone to panicking over failing to do his job lest he face cruel punishment from Ameisha.
Stolas (ストラス, Sutorasu)
Voiced by: Kenyu Horiuchi (Japanese); Kenny Green (English)[6]
Known by the public in Seiji's hometown as "Stolas the Demon". A sociopathic anthropomorphic penguin with violent tendencies, Stolas has a disturbing obsession with Seiji's younger sister Akua, intending to mate with her. He attacked the two as children but was locked in a cage until he broke out years later to chase down Akua once more. Stolas eventually develops an enmity with Coraly for Akua, being defeated by both after Akua overcomes her fear of him. He returns, being modified by a scientist who gave him a robotic armor and intended to use him as a weapon to destroy couples. This backfired when Stolas recognized Akua and reassumed his lustful agenda on his own, forcing Coraly to fight him once more, and in a final clash uses his divine powers to purify his wicked desires, turning Stolas into a normal penguin. After being returned to the aquarium he is matched with a male penguin by Guri.
Tiara (天亞薇, Teiara)
Voiced by: Eri Kitamura (Japanese); Jamie Marchi (English)
Guri's friend and an Angel/Cupid. She first appears to Seiji, Guri and Yuzu after Guri's Kiss Note was burned, reassuring that the couples were still together. Since she wanted to retire and start a family, she gave away her Kiss Note, in the form of a smartphone, so Guri can still perform her duties.
Mavuro (マヴロ)
Voiced by: Yukari Tamura (Japanese); Bryn Apprill[7] (English)
Guri's mother.
Suo Hiyama (緋山 蘇芳, Hiyama Suō)
Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara (Japanese); Colleen Clinkenbeard[5] (English)
Akane's mother and the Matriarch of the Hiyama assassin clan. Often described as a beautiful yet emotionless woman, Suo fell in love with the same man as Ameisha did. Despite the three-way relationship doing well for some time, when their shared lover disappeared she buried herself in the affairs of her family business out of despair. Like her daughter Akane, Suo keeps a large stash of katanas hidden in her Yukata and is very proficient with them.
Ameisha Kichougasaki (黄蝶ヶ崎 アメイシャ, Kichōgasaki Ameisha)
Voiced by: Rina Satou (Japanese); Caitlin Glass (English)
Yuzu's mother and the Matriarch of the Kichougasaki clan. In contrast to the Hiyamas, the Kichougasaki clan specializes in guard detail. Ameisha, the Matriarch can only be described as the exact opposite of Suo. Loud, emotional, and far less conservative in dress, she clashes heavily with the stoic Suo. After their shared lover disappeared, Ameisha was hardly fazed by the event, instead choosing to move on without worrying. Ameisha, like her daughter, possesses a similar barrier ability yet with more advanced capabilities such as creating shock waves.

A vengeful Stolas has returned from the wilderness. At a playground, Coraly takes his angelic form and defends Akua from Stolas. However, Akua stands up to Stolas and kick him in the face. Seiji arrives, realizing that Akua does not need to be protected anymore. Shikimi leaves with Guri, while Seiji takes notice of Guri's disappearance.
11"Where Did She Go? x I Apologize for Troubling You Until Now"
Transliteration: "Doko Ittanda Aitsu × Ima Made Taihen Osewa ni Narimashita" (Japanese: どこ行ったんだ あいつ × 今まで大変お世話になりました)		June 15, 2017 (2017-06-15)
Guri has been missing for over a week, and Coraly is concerned as to why Seiji has not taken it seriously. Suspecting Shikimi is responsible, Seiji confronts her in the locker room, but she captures and repeatedly kisses him, with Guri secretly watching outside. At a maid cafe, Guri previously confided in Shikimi that there was something missing between her and Seiji, in which Shikimi suggested Guri to avoid Seiji and observe his relationship with the other girls. Akane and Yuzu soon arrive to save Seiji, while Shikimi reveals the depressed Guri to the others. Seiji says that Guri has only been a nuisance to him, which causes her to seal herself in a cocoon of black feathers. Maou appears, having been working with Shikimi to manipulate Seiji into breaking the heart of Guri, who is now reborn as a demon. Guri nonchalantly announces that her old self is gone and it is all Seiji's fault. She then leaves and breaks up many couples that she brought together while being an angel. After Shikimi leaves with Maou, Yuzu convinces Seiji in joining her to save Guri, although Akane refuses to accompany Seiji and Yuzu.

Transliteration: "Sōda, Shinimashō! × Watashi Yatto Wakarimashita" (Japanese: そうだ、死にましょう！ × 私やっとわかりました)		June 22, 2017 (2017-06-22)
Coraly takes Seiji and Yuzu to Heaven, where Kami suggests that they travel to Hell in order to retrieve Guri. Meanwhile, Guri refuses in becoming the new Devil so Maou would retire. While disguised as demonic businesspeople, Seiji, Yuzu and Coraly are uncovered by Shikimi, which forces all of them to flee. They are rescued by Akane, who reached Hell after being shocked to death at the thought of Seiji already married with kids. After reaching the rooftop of the office building, Akane demands that Guri either return to normal or stay a demon forever. Seiji eventually realizes that Guri is not fully a demon after he pleads with her to become normal. As Guri become faint with overwhelming emotions, Seiji asks her what she wants. He jumps off the office building to catch her, as her demon wings are replaced with angel wings. She returns to normal, realizing that she wants him to love her. She kisses him but the heartfelt moment abruptly ends with Akane throwing a Gurka knife at Guri's head. Guri then promises to add Shikimi to the harem if she behaves, further enraging Akane. The next morning, Seiji heads to school with the four girls.
