Mikuriya Jin makes a woodcarving from the remains of a guardian tree, but he gets much more than he bargained for when girl materializes from the statue! Her name is Nagi, the troublesome and at times violent deity of the land; and with nowhere to go, she announces that she will stay with Jin. Now, with Jin’s help and a magical girl wand purchased at the local convenience store, Nagi aims to exorcise the impurities that are infecting the land. Though when the sacred tree is finally uprooted, it is only a matter of time before her powers will diminish; thus, a new object of worship is required, and what better object than Nagi herself! However, obtaining your goal of becoming a popular idol is not so straightforward, especially when you have to compete with your sister, who is unwilling to share her fan base and plans to sabotage you at every step!
Since long ago, the wolf goddess Holo has honored a contract to bless the rural village of Pasloe with fertile harvests; and in return she has been celebrated and worshipped by the villagers. But as mankind advances, the people have begun to take command of nature for themselves and have made their own god to worship. Holo finds that she is paid little more than lip service, if not outright mocked; and considering the contract annulled, she takes human form and enlists the aid of a passing merchant, Kraft Lawrence, to return to her home in the snowy forests to the north. As they journey together, Kraft finds that he has plenty to learn from this capricious god, and she from him as well.
Both Kannagi and Wolf and Spice center around human incarnations of holy dieties and their relationships with the male leads. The romance is light but warm and touching with comedic scenes to lighten the mood.
Both have spunky female leads who are actually gods and both series revolve around supernatural themes.
What can I say? An unspoken romance between a young and a Goddess? While Kannagi is more of a comedy based anime, and Spice and Wolf is more drama based, they share much in common with the sitituational timing. So in short, man praises Goddess, man advances technology and forgets Goddess, and the male protagonist is left with a egotistical Harvest God.
The main female characters are similar in many ways. That along with the GodxMortal relationship between the two main characters.
Keiichi Morisato is just your average college student until one day, fate interjects as he makes a call for take-out food. Unknown to him, he reaches the Goddess Help Line, and contacts a goddess named Belldandy, who grants him a wish. Thinking it to be a joke, Keiichi wishes for her to be his girlfriend 'forever'.
Both deal with "Gods" that come down to earth and live in the same house with unsuspecting male protagonists .... both stories evolving into harem situations!
the plot line for these 2 anime are pretty similar: a goddess suddenly appears before a young man, completely turning his life upside down. The young protagonist must learn to live, and deal with opposite sex which results in numerous awkward albeit comedic situations.

both shows are about the trouble caused by the female lead, which often lead to hilarious endings. and also it is also noted that a small hinted of romance is shown in the last episode of both series
Both female characters are a god. Both Male lead characters are average guys who got pulled into a relationship with said god unwillingly or unknowingly. Both female lead characters are a constant cause of trouble and self centered. The comedy is often very similar in style as well.

Both shows are about annoying gods who are tolerated by the strange people around them.
Neither anime has much in terms of action, and really, they both feel like parodies.

Ryuuji Takasu has an eventful life: his classmates think he's a delinquent due to his 'killer' eyes; his crush Minori seems ever out of reach; and he’s just had an unfortunate encounter with 'palm-sized Taiga' – a feisty and dainty wench in his class. With different cleaning habits and tempers, the two clash like night and day; that is, except for the fact that Taiga and Ryuuji have crushes on the other's good friend! With school rumors abounding, the duo must now work together to play matchmaker for each other. Who will end up with their true love?
It is the same silly romance!
the characters act distant but are secretely close!
Both similar in comedy and writing, with excelent animation.
If you were drawn to the love story in either of these shows, you would be likely to like both. They both have strong female leads (although Taiga is a bit stronger) with couples that almost refuse to recognize that they are as close as they are, even though they live in the same house (or, in Toradora, spend almost all day together and eat at the same table). They have similar, silly fights, and a similar, tender caring for each other.
