I finished this last night. It ended the best way possible! Though it is tough as they've bene through a lot. But what makes it funny was they had to make Bishamon wounded or the war would have ended so quickly lmao. Specially since she got Nana. All that set aside, I feel really sad for Yukine. He's lived an awful life. He's so innocent and all 😔 I feel guilty in a way every time I see him smile. Thank goodness Hiyori was there to save him. I might actually reread the whole thing again because Norgami is actually my favourite anime and since it's not finished, I resorted to reading the manga and I cannot just read it once lol.
I cannot believe it’s over oh my god. I can’t even articulate how I felt about this final volume properly. I can’t help but wish that Hiyori would’ve continued as a half-ayakashi so the gang could always hangout. But at least she was able to remember Yato at the very end of the omnibus I’m hoping that means they get pockets of hanging out together throughout her life. I’m glad the stray finally isn’t a nuisance anymore. I would’ve liked if Hiyori was involved even more through the last 5 or 6 volumes as it kinda felt like she was out in the background. Either way, I did enjoy this series so much and I’m going to miss these characters. Ebisu ended up being a favorite side character for me. Let’s see I’m also glad that Yukine reconciled with Yato and that papa sama is finally gone. Not going to lie, a lot of the information about his past and how he came to be left me confused and I still don’t really understand what all his goals were or what the fake bubble world he made at the end was. All in all, great series and farewell to Noragami. I decided to drop from 4.5 to 4 stars because I think the ending did feel kinda rushed and we needed a lot more resolutions for the main three and many other characters.

The ending was cute and heartwarming 🥰 It left me with a hopeful feeling.
I would have liked Hyori to be involved more and for there to be a bit more interaction with her and the other characters, but given the nature of the final battle, it probably wouldn’t have made much sense.
I really enjoyed this series and I would be happy to have more of it 😄
I love the ending. it was not what I thought was going to happen but its still sweet regardless. I don't know why people where complaining about it. its fitting and adorable 🥰
I have been obsessed with this series since I first watched the anime in what must have been 2014. I adored the characters, the range of humour and seriousness, the exploration of Japanese Gods and religion just in general. The way Gods could name lost souls and turn them into weapons to defeat evil spirits that enacted hate, depression, and loathing in humans. I loved it all. I even have scattered sketches of Yato in one of my old drawing books from that time. Then, whoever was in charge, canceled the show after 2 seasons and I never got any answers to what happened during the rest of the story. So, 12 years later I've finally finished it and I'm actually kind of emotional that it's over? The story changed so much from the start but in the best way possible. There was so much important development from the start to the end. Getting to explore more of the Gods, how their system of heaven worked, Yato's relationship with Hiyori and Yukine, and just Yukine and Yato's past in general. The story got a lot darker, discovering Yukine's past and how he died was actually quite upsetting to learn and the way he was manipulated by that hurt even more. However, the way Adachitoka developed his relationship with Yato through it all was absolutely beautiful. Speaking of which, learning more about Yato and the Creator in general was really interesting and paced out perfectly among 27 volumes. I really loved learning his motivations and how time had begun to change his thoughts and passions. This series has a lot of silly moments, and I mean really silly, but it also has some of the most tender and absolutely heartbreaking scenes when it counts. I just loved the ending, it felt perfect for the way the story progressed and where the characters ended up. This series will always have a special place in my heart, and I can end this review by saying that I'm glad my 13 year old self took the time to start it so that 24 year old me could take the time to finish it.
