Great as always. This volume got a bit darker, as we got to see Yukine's background story, plus there were some storylines about the rest of the characters. So, this one was more wholesome when it came to point of views, but still, it focuses on Father (can he become more annoying??) and Yukine (who testes everyone's patience really). Can't wait to see what happens next!
nie pamietam co sie dzialo w ostatnich tomach wiec nie wiem o co chodzi ale buja i w kOOO?CU wiemy wi?cej o przesz?o?ci yukine co mnie najbardziej ciekawi z tego wszystkiego od tomu 1
This is the darkest Noragami has ever been, as Yukine slowly unfolds the events of his past. At times I was physically sick in my stomach, because some pages just ended me. The emotion shines so much through the storytelling, I felt my heart being ripped out. Yukine truly breaks me, and I just want him to realise that Yato (and Hiyori) ARE his family. Seeing him all alone with the Sorcerer just manipulating him and using his emotions was too much.
The more I progress, the more I¡¯m terrified to read another volume, and the more I physically can't stop reading.
I'm so wishy washy with stray, but I think I'm okay with her now. I mean sure she's hurt people and she's a brat, but she's a child who just wants to be loved. I feel for her and I'm hoping this little alliance she has with Hiyori is a step into her redemption arc.
Ebisu this volume!! What a precious bean. When he got all teary-eyed watching the video?? :')
Then the thing that made me the most sad... Yukine. Holy fuck. Yato's dad is a dumpster of a human being. How dare he?? Yukine craves a loving and happy family that he didn't get when he was alive and this MONSTER is letting Yuki believe he had that. He's slowly discovering more about his past self that's just going to hurt him. I really hope Yato and Hiyori are able to get to him soon. He needs a hug.
Noragami is phenomenal, always has been, always will be. This volume was gut-wrenching ¨C Yukine¡¯s backstory is finally brought to light. I would recommend being somewhere comfortable when you read it. Guaranteed to break your heart.
There are few happy moments in this release. Though I loved the portions featuring past Ebisu. It¡¯s always a treat to watch the gods interact together, and the meetings in this volume were fun to unpack. As much as I wanted Takemikazuchi to stop his homicidal rhetoric I was pleased to see so much of him.
Things are setting themselves up so well for a final battle between Yato and his father The Crafter. He has gone over the line this time. I miss Hyori for now, but she is doing well as Yato is out working toward seeing to the end of his father. He is running out of time from what the heavens gave him in the last volume.
I feel like I'm reading 10 book right now but thankfully I finally finished one!! My first read of 2021 wasn't even a book but it's finneee
This was still amazing and still my favorite manga but ya know it was real good but it wasn't five stars haha i dunno. Manga is hard because it's hard to read it all at once so I constantly forget stuff but hey I'm trying my best that's what matters lol
In my review of the previous volume, I expressed my ideas by saying that I don't understand why people like this new arc regarding Yuki going rogue. I still think it was super cheap to use him in this new arc just to make things complicated. (they needed something to make Father relevant again) At least this volume was a bit better than the last. However, I hope they will soon realize their mistake and don't ruin this beautiful manga. I really like Noragami mainly because it deals with serious issues and it is for adults compared to other mangas that I've read. I am still waiting for new chapters but I guess they took a break because of the pandemic.
It has been so long since I've read Noragami and I've forgetten how much I love this series and how devastating it can be at times. I've missed these characters so much and am struck with how much I hope that they make new seasons of the anime because there are so many moments that I deeply need to see animated.
Yukine broke my heart a lot this volume. It is so hard seeing him spiral and end up being played and manipulated by Yato's dad. Learning more about his backstory was just heartbreaking. From hearing about his father to seeing the fridge. I hate that he started to remember the fear he had when he lived with his dad and I wish so much that he gets away from Yato's dad and finds Yato.
I've been very conflicted with my feelings about the Stray for several volumes now but I do feel quite sad for her. I think it must be so hard for the shinki but especially the ones are forever children to deal with their feelings of jealousy and fear of abandonment. I'm happy that Hiyori treated her kindly and with care, despite everything that has happened. I'm curious when they will reunite with Yukine and Yato.
The fact that Yato knows what happened to Yukine and has tried to protect from finding the truth is so heartbreaking. The fact that he went to the fridge!!! Pain. Also no one ever find out about what happened to Yukine afterwards.... Bro.
Ebisu made me emotional when I realized that his former self left a video message for his new self to find. It just breaks my heart, for both the new and old self.... I love that the other gods are working together to help Yato defeat his dad.
I feel sad about Hiyori's grandmother but I'm grateful she wasn't scared and was peaceful. I wish we got to see Bishamon a bit. I'm curious if she even feels that her connection with Kazuma is different. I have no clue if she will ever forgive Yato or Kazuma for this, if she found out.
I'm stressed to see how things will progress. I don't think we're done learning about Yukine's history and I am very scared. I truly want Yukine and Yato to reunite and for Hiyori and the Stray to find them. I really love this series. I'm very scared to catch up and complete it.

Unbelievably devastating and drove me to tears several times. This feels like it might be the dark before the storm because loads of reveals happened. First, Yukine has fallen right into Father¡¯s trap, becoming his shinki and being shown his past as an abused child who ended up buried alive in a refrigerator in the mountains. The happy life he imagined he once had is shattered with reality. Then it¡¯s revealed the stray may have been a stillborn child and has taken the form of a fish monster, looking to be seen for herself by all these people she made deals with. I just want to see these two kids be given the happy lives they long for. On the Hiyori front, she sees her grandma pass away and teams up withthe stray to look for Yato, who barely makes an appearance in this volume. We also get some movement on the god front with a hidden message from Ebisu¡¯s former self that may lead our Scooby-Doo crew to find a way to defeat the crafter. I really felt this was another spot on volume of Noragami, even though extremely heavy.

I have no idea why I set aside this series (and Blue Exorcist at the same volume number, at the same time). I was annoyed a bit with Yukine when I looked back at my last review and now I'm annoyed with myself for waiting over a year to read this. This is the most heartbreaking of chapters. Yukine gives in to himself and the Crafter is right there to take advantage.
I have to agree with the Stray: Yukine is a selfish baby about it, not able to handle having another member of the family as Yato works with Kazuma. The Crafter uses Yukine's desire to be the one and only against him. He promises him the one thing no shinki should know: how they died and their life before.
Adachitoka has teased this past for the entire series. It's obvious Yukine was killed either by a parent (or a pedophile) and now we see the truth of it. We can leave it as everyone is hurting, including the stray.
The art is beautiful and now I need to not let a year go by before reading the next one.
I know some may get tired of Yukin¨¦'s turbulent character but one's character is so complex and we all have our ups and downs, it's not so black & white, "we are good now". I'm glad we are revisiting old themes because we get new information and slowly the true facts are being revealed to us (and to some of the characters). ((what I'm trying to say is that things aren't so simple to be solved in just a few volumes, so by revisiting them we see that there are more things to work through.)) Also, I really like how we are getting to know a little bit more the stray and learn about her feelings. Alsoo, Kazuma needs to stop doubting himself and that comes from someone (me) who should do the same... (£ï?_?)¥Î¡±(¥Î_<¡¢)
