If the plan works, Amaterasu will pardon all perceived wrongdoings, but the stakes are high. Three gods must pledge the lives of their most trusted shinki. The score is tied when Daikoku volunteers himself as a sacrifice...
This story is getting really good. The constant build up to minor climaxes in the story keep the plot moving and the reading experience interesting, all the while they're a little collection of events building up to the biggest part of the story and at this point in this series I have no idea how things will end. I still have 6 volumes to go but in comparison to everything else that's not a lot. I really love how Adachitoka has built Yukine's own storyline throughout this, you're constantly feeling for him because he's being handed the roughest time but I feel like it's progressed really well in comparison to everything else going on. It kind of gives a focus that connections everyone's stories, the gods, Yato, Hiyori, the crafter. I just hope he gets a break soon.
Also much love for Yato's outfit in these volumes, it looks so good.
After 21 volumes, I think this is my last attempt to love Noragami again. I really loved the beginning of this manga series, but I feel like the heart of what made it engaging and fun was lost a while ago and it's just continued to decline. I don't particularly care about the political landscape of the gods, but it doesn't look like that's slowing down anytime soon, and the plot choices for certain characters feels really out of left field. That's just a personal opinion, of course. DNF'ing the series.
This one stressed me out so much. The stray getting Yukine on her side was horrible and based on the end of the omnibus I can’t tell if she was being honest about starting to enjoy Yukine or not. I assume she’s still with yato’s dad. I HATE that Yukine has started to try to figure out his name and life omg I hate it. The beginning of the end fr. I did enjoy Kazuma becoming a shinki for Yato as well just to see a new dynamic and weapon. At least Yukine got a nice little birthday flash mob before all this craziness. And now these other gods might be after him too omg.
