It was announced that a new OVA adaptation of manga Kamisama Hajimemashita is in production. The announcement was made on the official Twitter of shoujo magazine Hana to Yume. The OVA will be based on the "past arc" of the series, which ranged from the 14th to 17th volumes of the manga. The upcoming 21st volume of the manga, which will be released on April 20, will reveal more information about the OVA.

The series previously received a 13-episode TV adaptation that aired in Fall 2012. The second season, which completed at 12 episodes, aired in Winter 2015. A two-episode OVA was also adapted from the manga.

Update April 19
The OVA will be in two parts. Part one will ship with the manga's 22nd volume on August 20 and part two will ship with manga's 23rd volume on December 18.

hm even though the sales for the anime are horrid. I guess the manga boost must be significant enough to justify more content.

It's an easter miracle!

but no really, I thought sales for this were really bad and it was kind of amazing we got the second season at all, let alone another OVA. I'll take it though, I love Tomoe and Nanami.

I am now OK with this, since its branching away from being Inuyasha's carbon copy. Will watch!

Wait, that past arc? How are they gonna smash that into an OVA? I thought they would leave that for S3.

I hope they won't rush the whole arc, even though I didn't read the manga 3 volumes in two episodes isn't enough.

2nd season had 12 episodes, no?

For a moment, I read it as "New Kamisama Hajimemashita season " but I guess not. Sigh, I like this series way too much now. Still, a 2-episode OVA sounds good.

S1 had decent sales. It's S2 that dropped significantly. But still, manga sales is all that matter.

If there does happen to be a third season, I wonder what/if there will be a different symbol or something else after Kamisama Hajimemashita.

Ohhh ohhh ohhhh that entire arc in an OVA?? I hope it's an OVA series like maybe two or three but even then, I'm a little worried. It's my favourite arc so I'm glad they're animating it but still, I really hope it's handled well...

Huh, how are they going to fit that arc into an OVA? I can understand the marriage arc, but Tomoe's past?! Hopefully a cliffhanger ending and a season 3 announcement instead of rushing...

Anywayyy, glad to see it animated! ^.^

The OAD will obviously be more than 22 minutes of airtime as compared to each of the season episodes, so I'm pretty sure they can do it un-rushed. Besides, they can have more than 1 episode of OAD with 46 mins.-almost 3 hours each. The Past Arc is about 20 chapters or more, and adapting 4 volumes would take longer—all in all an estimate of 5 hours of anime if they do it without omissions and rushing.

The Past Arc is the darkest and best arc of Kamisama, and I'm thrilled to see it animated. 😻 It's one of the arcs where it deviates from just being a "generic bubbly shoujo romance."

There's quite some violence and gore in this arc, so having it as an OAD...they can escape with no censoring on the bloody parts.

Wow, past arc!! I can't wait for it. Maybe they will even continue if it sells well. I hope they can adapt the whole arc without changing or removing anything.

The cover of that volume already tells me to keep far away from this OVA.
