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.

You can find more examples in [the link](https://i.stack.imgur.com/fS4Gx.jpg)
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.

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

( _Daikyo-chan to Shiawase na Sekai_ , Misfortune Girl and the Lucky World), a
2-chapter ~~special~~ spiritual one-shot by FLIPFLOPs on _Champion RED_
magazine edition 2007-12 ~ 2008-01. It's also included in the 1st volume of
_The Everyday Tales of Cat God_ manga (Source:

The story, as it has been mentioned in the question, is about

> Kyouko, a test-taker who came to Tokyo and is living alone.  
>  Shinigami Karin, Kyouko's roommate.  
>  The story about their certain Sunday life.
