<p>In episode 3 there is a manga about a girl who moves to Tokyo after a string of bad luck only to find that her roommate is a death god who seems to just mooch off her. I am wondering if this is based off of another manga.</p>

<p>You can find more examples in <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/fS4Gx.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the link</a> in the comments. I think that's a large enough sample to determine if the manga used in the anime is based off any other manga.</p>

I uploaded some screencaps to [this imgur album](http://imgur.com/a/78zNJ). If anyone feels like picking out relevant-looking ones and editing them into the post, that'd be dandy.

The manga seems to be an original work of Yukina (by the duo responsible for the manga, FRIP FROPs). The details of the Yukina's manga in chapter 13 of the manga series are really shown so it's likely added in the anime to flesh things out a bit more.

Is the manga in Episode 3 of "The Everyday Tales of a Cat God" based off a real manga?
