ANN and other news outlets, Lump of Sugar's ero-game
Tayutama -Kiss on my Deity- (warning - 18+ contents!) is scheduled to get an anime adaptation published by Media Factory. (This doesn't come as a huge surprise to me personally, as it was obvious from the story that it was made-for-anime material.)

Speaking of the story...
Basic Plot Synopsis:
What if spirits were all around us? What if they could take human form and live with us?
Yuuri Mito is the son of a priest at a local shrine. He isn't all that interested in following in his father's footsteps, but discovers one day that he can see spirits, and they're everywhere! He calls on the forest goddess to solicit her help in keeping the spirits under control, and she reincarnates as a young girl. Wielding a giant hammer, and with the power to transform into a white-haired goddess, she pursues her dream that, one day, humans and spirits will once again be able to live together in harmony.
"I've come to bring unity between us."
Yuuri is charged by the forest goddess to take care of this young girl, and gives her the name Mashiro. When an unfortunate accident causes three powerful, menacing spirits to awaken, Yuuri and his friends find themselves pulled into the fray as Mashiro works to calm the wayward spirits and bring peace.
Spoiler for Expanded premise based on game/what to expect:
Mashiro has traditional values from a much older era, since she inherited the memories of the forest goddess. Being somewhat smitten with Yuuri, and in sight of her goal to bring unity between spirits and humans, a weak and sickly young Mashiro asks him to promise her that, once she gets bigger, he'll marry her. The next day, much to everyone's surprise, she has regained her spiritual powers, and now appears before them as a young woman. Having grown suitably, she kisses Yuuri, and proclaims herself to be his wife -- much to the shock and dismay of Yuuri's childhood friend, Ameri!
Although Mashiro's beauty, maturity, and traditional values make her seem like the "perfect wife", she also has an aggressive side that she shows particularly when transformed. Because of Yuuri's spiritual affinity, he can be of help to her in her battles with rogue spirits, and so she takes on the task of training him to be of use, which involves personal training regimens that push Yuuri to the point of exhaustion and beyond. The spiritual world hath no fury like Mashiro scorned.
In addition to the shrine Yuuri calls home, the story primarily takes place at two neighbouring schools -- a public school where Yuuri, Ameri, and their mutual friend Sankuro attend, and a pretigious all-girls Private Academy attended by Yuuri's cousin (and crybaby childhood friend) Yumina, and the academy's defacto leader and ojou-sama, Mifuyu. The central story consists of encounters with out-of-control spirits, and how the characters work together to bring things under control. Each main encounter story is tied to one of the main 4 heroines. The romance between Yuuri and the chosen heroine (for the anime, pretty much guaranteed to be Mashiro) is woven throughout, and features prominently in the closing arc.
PLEASE NOTE: The association of Tayutama game players would like to inform all prospective viewers that, even though Mashiro is indeed a fox spirit, this is not an ecchi-comedy, and the story bares absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to Kanokon.
As it mentions in the ANN article, the story is also being adapted in a manga published in Kadokawa's monthly seinen
Comptiq Ace publication.
