Description

When trying to save an injured animal while drunk you don't really expect many consequences. If you were sober, you'd likely expect to be saddled with a few bills and some work finding the owner.In either case, being saddled with divine duties by an ancient animal spirit is probably not amongst the things you expect. Neither did Eva when she picked up an injured canine after an evening out drinking with a friend to celebrate their arrival in Tokyo.At least those duties are little more than a part time job as a delivery-fox. And they come with room and board, as well as making her life that much more interesting.

Let me start with, it is a enjoyable story. It has a few flaws, but could be remedied with some editing and a few character arcs. It is mostly lighthearted, with some serious moments, and sometimes just a sentence or two about more serious long-term issues. And just enough "Oh shit!" moments to keep the readers on their toes.
Style: The style matches the general tone and subject of the MC. She doesn't know a lot of what it means to be a Kami, and, as such, neither does the reader. You learn as she learns. A surprise to her is surprising to the readers (maybe sans the high intellect readers).
Switching POV is done cleanly, and alternate POVs don't rehash what was already stated. Only adding to the story; not repeating it. The switching of POVs also make sense, and is not just arbitrary.
The "Delivery"s are both well placed, yet often seamless. You can just read through the story and not notice when you move to the next Delivery. Yet, each Delivery is centered around a major arc. There are also smaller arcs the can span multiple 'Delivery's. They sometimes take the spotlight, but never too long to fully disrupt the major arc. Most of the time, it is filler. Not a bad sort, either. Like mortar between stones, it fills time in between the events of the major arc.
Grammar: Mostly fine. There are times where typos are left in place, but few misspellings beyond that. Sentence structure is sound, and flows together. Just some more editing would raise this to 5 stars.
Story: Enjoyable, but not enough depth. Flat out, that is the main issue with the story. Still, while being a bit light on details at times, but it is never enough to leave confusion. But due to this, and the character issues in the same vein, it can feel a bit shallow at times. It still is a good story, but... it has strong bones, but not quite enough meat to them.
Character: Again, not enough depth. You have an idea for some of the characters, others are defined only by "X is Y, and does
