I honestly don’t have much to say about this book other than it’s simply awesome and the art is gorgeous. The characters of very detailed (especially Yato).
Since we are on the topic about Yato, I have several things to say about him. This, I’m going to make it pretty short and simple:
1. Amazing character
2. Extremely hilarious
3. Who can’t love him??
4. His history hints here and there. We don’t know much about him other than he’s an adorable god who wears a tracksuit and a fluffy, fluff scarf a.k.a. a towel hanging around his neck. And kills gloom but according to that anime they are known as gloom. And kills peo-
Me: ......................................................









Also me: WHAT??! Who said that.
Well, I did.

It took quite a turn of events, didn’t it?
I guess it did.

5. His shiniki, Yukine, is adorable but harsh. I understand the reason for his actions but found the way it was made known to everyone else a little too... dramatic. Not that I didn’t love it (because I did), but it felt rather extra. Still, Yukine is getting there. I have faith in him. 🙃
6. The God of War is amazing but she needs to quit flashing everyone. I mean, come on.
7. And Kofku, just keep doing you. That other gif is awesome.




That’s really about it. My list pile continue for ages, but I’m feeling lazy right now. :)

I'm catching up on this manga after bingeing the anime, and I love it. The mix of FEELS and seriously lol-worthy humor is A++.

4/5 estrellas.

Muy, muy bueno.
Es oscuro, a su vez moralmente gris, y tiene un ritmo que nunca decae. Me gustó muchísimo. Espero tener tiempo para leer el próximo pronto 🔥

ten tom podobał mi się o wiele bardziej niż pierwszy. wydaje mi się, że dzieje się tutaj więcej i wiele zaczyna się wyjaśniać i myślę, że jak najbardziej warto poznać dalszą fabułę.

[Tania · Rating 4 out of 5]

Muchas cosas pasan en este tomo. Está muy bueno.

Yukine, el espíritu no corrompido que Yato encontró y convirtió en su arma (o shinki) aún está aprendiendo qué onda con su nueva labor. Sin embargo, es evidente que aún es frustrante para él reconocer que ha fallecido y eso lo lleva a actuar indebidamente. Muy al estilo de "ya estoy muerto, ¿qué daño hace robar?". Yato es afectado por sus acciones aunque no le explica mucho a Yukine.
Hiyori, por otro lado, no sabe cómo acercarse a esta problemática.

También conocemos a Kofuku, la diosa del infortunio y una de mis favoritas y a Daikoku su regalía/esposo (hehe). Ella y Yato son amigos aunque se presentan como la pareja del otro.

Por último conocemos a Bishamonten, la diosa de la guerra que tiene problemas con Yato gracias a un hecho del pasado que poco a poco se irá revelando. Ella es uffas, divina, la amo, es poderosa y temible, pero en realidad tiene un corazón muy frágil.

Amo Noragami. Recomendado 10/10.

Yato seems like a fun guy until you heard the rumors.
He is a warrior god.
He killed a shinki.
He killed humans.

I think the present Yato is a changed god. My guess is that he had done these things but for a purpose. Anyway if you see him he isn't god-like. What I like about him though is that he seems to have lots of secrets. I can't wait til Toka reveals them all. XD

[James DeSantis · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a bit more world building and emotional impact than I expected.

With the main idea of the story out of the way we go deeper into why these spirits are dead. I mean his new sword, which is a 14 year old boy, is dead already to be used as a weapon. But why? how did he die? We get clues and we see what happens here after people die and why they turn into these monsters. We also get another god on site. This one, with a big fucking lion as her weapon, want revenge.

This is actually a pretty well written series. While this volume didn't impress me as much as the first I really enjoyed the comedy and emotional bits here. The humor is funny, and there's some great lolz moments. I also think it helps the characters act pretty normal and their dialogue is pretty solid. While I think the actual plot seems to be missing here some, it was a nice overall build up to character development and world building.

Overall a 3.5 but I'll bump it to a 4.

[Nərmin · Rating 5 out of 5]

The second volume is mostly about Yukine's teenager angst and its effects on Yato. As annoying as he is, I still like Yukine. Here we can easily see that Yato is a very good and patient man (Or God I should say) . And Hiyori is sweet and helpful. I really loved comedic moments and I am also curious about Bishamon...That woman is badass.
PS: I also should add that the Art is GORGEOUS!

So the authors did it again. I'm in love. I seriously cannot get enough of it. The plot is original, the characters awesome, and the humour is perfect.
Love love love <3

Bardzo mi się podobała i strasznie polubiłam Noragami❤️ Przyjemne do czytania w szkol

[ReadingInRedLondon · Rating 4 out of 5]

I forgot how much trouble Yukine causes at the beginning. Bishamon slays so hard right off the bat though.

[Ray Flores · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yato, Yukine y Hiyori continuan atendiendo diferentes pedidos que le hacen a dicho dios, sin embargo, Yukine sigue siendo una shiki inexperta y, sobre todo, un adolescente que resiente su propia muerte. Así que se le hace fácil robar, mentir y hacer todo tipo de malas obras, pensando que nadie lo notará; pese a ello, y gracias a su conexión con Yato, él lo sabe todo, sólo que aún no ha decidido castigarlo.

Viéndole el lado bueno, Yukine aprende una nueva técnica. Desafortunadamente, también es el causante de que el espíritu de una niña se convierta en ayakashi.

En la segunda mitad del volumen, Yato los lleva a conocer a una de sus amigas: Kofuku (que en realidad es una binbougami, un dios del infortunio) y a su shinki, Kuro/Daikoku. De pronto, se topan con Bishamonten (dios de la guerra y justiciero), quien porta todas sus demás shinkis con tal de deshacerse de Yato, con quien al parecer tiene una venganza qué cobrar.

Ahora bien, en general este volumen nos brindó más información sobre las tareas que un dios y su shinki comparten, así como lo que significa ser parte de esos espíritus y lo fácil que es convertirse en ayakashi. Así mismo, nos brinda una excelente introducción a nuevos personajes y claro, las escenas de acción y comedia que no pueden faltar en los shonen.

En definitiva, me parece mejor que la adaptación al anime y realmente no puedo esperar a continuar leyendo esta serie. ¡Se los recomiendo muchísimo!

Este volumen consta de los capítulos 4 al 7.

REVIEWS ANTERIORES:
Volumen 1

[Adam M · Rating 4 out of 5]

Vol 2 of Noragami does a good job filling out more of the world. We get some of the "rules" of the dead and the gods and a lot more intrigue is introduced. We are meet some of the other gods, all more notable than Yato, and some of their Shinki. This volume is a little less lighthearted, but it's not overwrought. There are simply more things to accomplish here and we are very slowly learning more about Yato's past. This volume really raises more questions than it answers, but in a very reasonable way as it's all setting up the next installment, that if you'll excuse me I'm about to start right away.

[Jes · Rating 2 out of 5]

I might just have to watch the anime and forget about the manga. The lore stuff is too dense and I feel like the characters are lacking personality outside of their exaggerated archetypes. Perhaps this would be rectified by voice acting and animation? The premise is great and I like the ideas put forth but it feels a little lopsided on the page. As I said in my first review, Kamisama Kiss, Vol. 1 is far superior.

[Maria · Rating 5 out of 5]

THEY ARE HERE!
In this volume we basically meet all of my fave deities in this series: best girl Kofuku and Daikoku, Tenjin and his girls (including Mayu), Bishamon the Badass and her squad (including the ultimate best boy Kazuma) AND finally - Nora, the most mysterious character in Noragami.
As usual with this series, everything is on point and I can’t be more excited to continue.

[Yenny · Rating 5 out of 5]

Este manga cada vez me sorprende muchísimo cuando lo leo cada momento que les pasa a los personajes es fantástico, amo con todo mi corazón Noragami y al anime le tengo un gran cariño, cada vez que leo el manga me recuerda siempre al anime.

[Aurora Dimitre · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely love this series. I fell in love with it when the anime was airing a... while ago, and now , reading the manga as it comes out in English is like my favorite thing in the world. I love the characters, I love the humor, and also Yukine my poor delinquent child oh my god .

Noragami follows a minor god named Yato in his attempts to get enough money to build himself a shrine. Along the way he meets his new partner-in-crime, Yukine, a fourteen-year-old dead boy who's got a few problems, and Hiyori, who he's accidentally caused to be half-ghost, half-human. And... they're just going on crazy adventures together. In this volume we meet a few more gods, and learn about Yato's relationship with them, and it's just phenomenal.

It's also sort of edging into the 'Yukine arc that makes me cry' and so that's happening and because of that I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to the next few volumes because Yukine my poor delinquent child you make so many bad decisions but I feel so bad .

But, yeah - this is definitely a fun manga series with fun characters and oftentimes hilarious dialogue, and I really, really enjoy it.

[Maria · Rating 4 out of 5]

Creo que ya lo he dicho alguna vez, pero el dibujo de Noragami es fantástico. La historia no tiene mucho misterio por el momento (básicamente el ir y venir de Hiyori y Yato y los desafortunados incidentes de Yukine), aunque los personajes son absolutamente adorables.

Desde el accidente, la vida de Hiyori no ha sido la misma ya que ahora su alama se desprende de su

cuerpo sin que ella pueda controlarlo. Gracias a esto ahora vive entre el mundo de los vivos y los muertos donde es capaz de ver lo que los demás no. Para poder volver a la normalidad le pide un deseo a Yato para que la cure sin saber que Yato es un dios menor que no cuenta con seguidores ni templos.

La situación de Yato es tan pobre que tiene que vivir haciendo cualquier trabajo con tal de ganar un poco de dinero. De hecho tiene que vivir en la calle con su arma divina, Yukine quien no para de revelarse ante la situación mediocre a la que Yato lo expone. Es tanta su rebeldía que comienza a robar aprovechándose de que los humanos no lo ven del todo. Que esté robando afecta directamente a Yato pues arma divina y dios están unidos mediante un lazo especial que castiga a Yato cuando Yukine peca. La situación se está tornando tan difícil que Yato decide llevar a Yukine y Hiyori con el único dios que lo apoyo, es decir con Kofuku quien es nada más y nada menos que la diosa de la pobreza quien sólo trae desgracia a su paso.


Tengo que parar aquí con el resumen del tomo porque tengo que hablarles de Kofuku, quien a simple vista tiene una apariencia de colegiala tierna más con esa actitud traviesa y juguetona que demuestra pero cuando usa a su arma divina… simplemente les diré que esta mujer es un verdadero desastre, incluso más que Yato. En este tomo también conocemos a su arma divina, es decir a Daikoku quien es la contra parte de Kofuku en todos los sentidos. Mientras ella es despistada y chillona, él es fuerte, rudo y muy serio lo cual es ideal para controlar el extraño temperamento de su ama...

This manga was so good that I had to go back and drop volume 1 to far stars. It seriously jumped up in quality, and not because of a lack of it in book 1, but because book 2 just added so much necessary conflict that made the storyline and characters so much more interesting.

We have Hiyori, who sticks around Yato in the hopes that he’ll figure out how to fix her “condition” and bring her fully back to the near side. However, as she learns more about Yato, she’s conflicted on whether or not she should trust him.

We have Yato, who is a poor, unknown god trying to rebuild his reputation. He seems both lighthearted and incredibly serious, switching between the two quickly. We know he has a past as a warrior god, and that he willingly hurt others in his past. But we don’t know what the full story of what he did or why.

We have Yukine, member 3 of the trio. He’s a spirit turned shinki of a 14 year old boy. He seems like most teenagers: bratty, rude, and uncaring of others. However, we see glimpses of him as someone who is scared and unsure, and needs guidance, whether he wants to admit it or not.

It’s such a great start for the three of them to form as a group that really loves each other. I’m so thrilled to read the next one.
