Inari Konkon shows how intimate the relationship between a god and a human can be without it being in the realm of romance at all. The mother-daughter relationship between Uka and Inari brought me to tears many times, especially in the last episode. You can truly see how much they care for each other and love each other, and how much they need each other. It was such a beautiful friendship -- and in fact, all of the friendships in this show, especially between Inari and her group of girl friends, feel so real and well developed. It really reminded me of middle school but in the best way, where emotions are overflowing and everyone is awkward but there's still just so much love and joy to go around.
If I had to compare Inari Konkon to two other animes, it would be Kamisama Kiss (in that it…

This is a show that is widely unappreciated, left unnoticed, maybe seen once in a while but almost never.
It is a pretty calming watch, The show throws you a lot of surprises, events that have really unexpected outcomes. It also does present the characters emotions well especially in the first few episodes showing us the 5 stages of grief. It can really make you sympathize with the characters, feel the same emotions, and support their story as it progresses.
It is also a show that ends quicker than usual having only 10 episodes (excluding ova) and the usual 24 minutes per episode. It is fairly surprising how they are able to corporate a really emotional piece in such an unusually short period of time while anime with a lot more episodes fail to do so which makes this one a bit special.…

When i finished some new anime, i think about "which story it told me?" and from there i can tell my experience. I cannot tell which was my experience watching "Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha". That anime is the definition of "less is more", it try be so many things but can't be anything. If the anime focus on one simple thing, which would be telling your story, it would have been better.
Story 5/10: The story is simple, show how a human would uses the power of a god. It's simple, show how a human would be reckless and selfish with such power, and they show a patetic romantic comedy that in the end has no meaning for the main plot.
Character 3/10: I can count in my fingers how many characters are be useful. Many disposables and others you don't even remember.
Sound 8/10: The sound is greatl a…

So at first i rated this as an 8 then after i finished it i was disappointed and dropped it to 7.I don't want to give any spoilers but let's say the ending is not good it's not bad but it's the unsatisfying ending that would disappoint you and you'll fell like it wasn't worth the time.After that i read the manga because it continued after the anime and that was quite a huge difference. It had more impact more drama more romance and a very satisfying ending.I ranked it as 10 and considered to drop the anime to 6 but gave up.
To wrap everything the anime wasn't special was like some average-to-bad anime to watch when you've got nothing else BUT i do encourage you to go read the manga as it will make a huge difference to the way you see the anime

Watching the three episode I thought this is a masterpiece of romance anime, two couples, one love triangle and super powers, where can you go wrong. This show reminded me of cardcaptor and when episode four happen and it went down hill from there.
This show tried to be "woke" like cardcaptor and when you go woke you go broke. It ruin one of it's character and it's love triangle. It got rid of the mc's love rival by having her fall in love with someone else, and the way she fall in love is out of character and your typical trope of falling in love after being rescue. The love rival is presented to us as a very pretty,fashionable, popular with the boys and girls. A girl who i am sure has plenty of experience rejecting people and would not needs to be rescue from men. She is also the boys…

Not the best. Not the worst. Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha is a series about an ordinary girl who received a wish from a deity. However, her wish wasn't what she wanted so the god gave her divine power instead. Granting her the ability to transform into whatever she wishes to transform into. Though, she must face the obstacles awaiting in front of her as a consequence for getting the divine power although she's must a mere human.
Story : 7/10
The plot's kind of a meh. I feel as if there's a lot of things missing in the plot of the story. It's not perfect. Like, for an example, I want to know if Inari couldn't see the god anymore. Then can her brother see the god?
Art : 7/10
The art's alright. But I'm not really a fan of this art style. It makes me feel slightly uncomfortable despite the…

I sincerely believe that the main theme that surrounds the protagonist about her precocious romance is incredibly boring and repeated, it would only be advisable if you were under 12 years old and you were in love, as for the relationship that exists between the goddess and the girl is much more interesting that the main problem that leads them to know each other, although I think that Inari is not more than a girl too common to be so special and receive such power ...
In short, it is more interesting the secondary romance between the brother of Inari and the goddess (and that we see very little) that the long boring romance of Inari and his problems so topical and at this point very recurrent and even absurd.
P.S:I think it would have enough interesting topics to deal with if it were n…

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha Is a interesting show to be honest. It doesn't do any of the stuff you would expect from show with a human getting god like powers and able to change into anyone and i mean even the fun stuff from these types of show's.
I came in expecting the MC to be more goofy and mess around more. But in this she just does nothing of interest with these powers. The characters reactions tend to be lackluster and the story feels very ham-fisted.
~~SPOILERS~~
Any drama that happens feels artificial. Such as both Uka and Inari not wanting to tell each other cause they don't want to worry each other. The entire story could not happen if they didn't act like actual people. Near the end the ruler of the gods ( Or whatever she is meant to be ) Locks Uka in a cave and she ends up alm…

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha was heartwarming, short, and cute. It won my heart by the second episode, with interesting characters and a beautiful plot.
The anime is about a sweet shy girl named Inari who has a hard time conveying her feelings. One day Inari witnesses her crush handing a love letter to a beautiful girl. Depressed Inari runs off to her family shrine and cries out "I wish I could be her". A fox deity who lives at the shrine appears and gives Inari a "divine power" that allows her to shape shift. The anime mainly focuses on how Inari uses this power.
This is the perfect anime for me. I'm a sucker for cute love stories with some supernatural elements. My favorite things about this anime are the character development, setting, and art.
The art is amazing. I have nothing more to…

One of the best feel good anime that I have seen in a long time.
Though it has only 10 episodes+1 OVA the characters manage to really capture your heart.
An extremely sweet and wonderful female lead. Such a refreshing honest story. It has romance but the romance is like the foundation for a story...almost like a back story.
It starts with her wanting the love of the boy she has had a crush on forever...but it actually is a story of love in a complete view. Love between friends and love for herself as well. (she starts off with low self confidence and with envy for an another girl)
The story mixes comedy and perfect moments in such a beautiful way that I honestly cant believe it was just ten episodes...and I regret the fact the series is over. There were moments you sweatdrop and moments…

Overall, I really enjoyed this. I do wish it had been a few episodes longer, though. Even one more episode could have tied up the ending in what would have been, I believe, a more satisfactory ending. I think this is a great adaptation of the manga. It stayed pretty true to the story, though it was much faster paced. I really love this story for a lot of reasons, but mostly I think it has really positive role models for girls (which can be hard to find). I appreciate the inclusion of the Sumizome/Keiko, even though it didn't really develop at all. One thing I was really impressed with, though, was the background noises, such as the sound of the geta on the tiles. It was a small detail, but it was so well done that it deserved a mention.
In sum, I don't necessarily think that there is anyt…

I rated "Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha" higher than I've ever rated any anime before. Why?
Story: 8/10
-I absolutely loved the story in this anime. It's very sweet and really tugs at your heart, sometimes pretty hard. It's really easy to relate to how the main character, Inari Fushimi, feels. Who hasn't experienced the desire to change for someone you love? Being jealous of others who have a better chance with them, even if you don't want to be? "Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha" expresses these things to the viewer in a way that's not obnoxious. The story is great, but it really wouldn't be where it was if not for the characters.
Art: 9/10

I was pleasently surprised when I watched this anime, here's why:
Story 9/10
Welcome to the life of Inari, a girl with three friends and who is quite clumsy. She lives nearby a shrine that called the Inari Shrine. When she is in a hurry to go to school, she sees a little fox and helps it out of trouble. Then she may have a wish fullfilled by the diety of the shrine. Her wish: to turn into somebody else. Of course this will bring trouble and all that kind of stuff along. You could say this story isn't original, but I it is, go and watch it, you'll see why.
Art 9/10
The art was well done, it looked good. It remembered I saw the same kind of art in another anime but I can't remember which one.

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha is a type of show which any of us would be expecting. A typical clumsy girl who always shows her bad side to her crush. Though, there was a mixture of a supernatural theme which made this show a little exciting.
Story:6/10
The story was all about a girl named Inari who showed the typical 'clumsiness' around her crush. Frustrated by herself, Inari wished for her to be someone else, and it was granted by Uka-sama. The story was alright, but it was a little rushed, or rather the ending was not good enough.
Art: 8/10
The art was done nicely, especially with the backgrounds. The character designs are plain, but it was still good.
Sound: 9/10
The sound was great, especially with the catchy openings and endings. The OST was also great and relaxing to hear.

I like to compare "Inari Konkon" with a person's first love, it's beautiful but really awkward.
Story- 6/10 Inari is your typical slice of life RomCom with a dash of supernatural tossed in. The biggest problem with the story is it tries to have too many themes, is it a romance? A comedy? About friendship? Who really knows, and most of these themes don't really play out other than friendship. The romance element was very lacking, and for a series that I supposed to be centered around romance they didn't spend much time on the relationships at all. If you're looking for a slice of life or romance, you're better off looking elsewhere.
Art - 9/10 the artwork was one of the only reasons I kept watching this series, it is very well done. All the shrine work and landscapes are absolutely beaut…

TL;DR
+ cute story/characters
+ heart-warming
- dragged ending
- short
Story
Revolves around girl called Inari and a god Uka. One day Inari wishes at shrine to become someone else, good-willed Uka wants to help her, so she transforms her. Inari soon regrets this, Uka feels guilty, magic happens and now Inari can transform to anyone she wants. This is main story in nutshell, with cute little romance growing in the background. Not amazing, but still decent.
It is worth mentioning that ending warries a bit from manga, in a sense that it felt dragged out. Art
Characters and vistas pretty average overall, animation maybe little above but still nothing to drool over. Bonus point for nice design though.
Sound
While opening and ending songs were nothing special, soundtract itself is nice and ple…

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha is a sort of feel good anime. After every episode I watched, I just had this feeling of content that felt very relaxing. But of course, that doesn't mean this anime doesn't have any exciting moments. It very much does.
Inari is a normal middle school girl that lives in Koyoto's Fushimi ward. Like many girls her age, she has a tough time liking herself, which leads to her envying her good looking and friendly classmate Sumizome. Inari has a crush on her other classmate Funbabashi, but she can't seem to work up the nerve to talk to him, as compared to Sumizome who has no problem with that. The plot picks up when, after seeing Sumizome give Funbabashi a love letter, Inari finds herself at the Inari shrine, a shrine for the god Inari.
There, she meets Uka-no-Mitama…

Story:5/10
well i don't where to begin but here we go (Inari) is girl who can't do anything right when she's near her crush (Tanbabashi) so in frustration she goes to a shrine and make a wish to be someone else and from there our story begins but is it good for me no and i know that is just 10 episode series but come on there some interesting things going on like a human falls in love with a goddess and maybe it's neutral. and a girl loves another girl and she said it to here friends but nothing happened after that. and even (Inari) & (Tanbabashi) story not the main focus they opened so many possibilities but they didn't close it they just focused on the relationship be…

At first, this anime wasn't in my "To Watch" list, in fact when I watch it, I was hoping to see some Uka fanservice, instead, I was taken away by this anime's story. This was probably one anime where its story and plot has a moral lesson, where it tells use to be careful of what you wish for or you might just get it. It also tell us that in sometimes when we do something we have to be careful or otherwise we would have made it much worse than before, frankly this is where this anime's premise revolved around as we see Inari inspite of having Uka's divine powers she still end's up bungling around where another moral lesson comes around which that its better to come clean than hide from a mistake. So how do I rate this anime? Here's how.
Story: Outstanding 10.

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha is the type of show where you’d come in expecting what you’ll get. The thought of ‘typical romance with a cute middle school girl’ is what most people will come into mind. And you would be right because this show is about a middle school girl named Inari Fushimi, a clumsy character with an innocent personality and heartwarming crush on her fellow classmate, Koji Tanabashi. In essence, this show is what a classic shoujo would offer – a spirited series of cuteness, fun, charms, and shape shifting. Wait, stop there. Shape shifting? Now, that’s something to take notice. Of course, Inari doesn’t obtain that ability after she recuses the spirit fox Kon from falling into the river. She has no idea that her life is about to change forever.
Based off the manga of the same…
