phoenix2's review against another edition
4.0
This volume was lighter than the few previous ones, but enjoyable nevertheless. I also love the way the writer-artist puts a little something in the end and makes you want to read the next volume as well.

Holy fucking SHIT, Bishamon was a fuckin' BOSS in this volume! Hot damn, she was not taking any shit from anyone, even the fucking queen of the underworld! My love is still strong for Kofuku, but Bishamon might just tie with her for best girl of Noragami!
This was an awesome conclusion to this arc in more ways than one. We got to see great character growth from Yato and Bishamon, we got some strong emotional moments, and we got to see Yukine once again proving himself to be a positive guide to Yato. I'm curious to learn more about Yato's past, but after such an intense arc, I'd like a respite from the chaos.
Something I can't believe I've failed to mention up until now is the strong artwork. The artwork/art style has been strong the entire series, but Adachitoka pulled no punches in this volume. The final showdown in Yomi felt dark, dreary, and insanely creepy, Yato's talk with Ebisu was uplifting if not sad, and the fight scenes were intense without overwhelming the emotions presented. Adachitoka know how to treat each scene with care and how to draw out the emotions in each panel as well as draw a beautiful manga.
Those are my scattered thoughts on this incredible volume. Looking forward to volume 11!

I remember watching season 2 in college with the anime club. Glad this held up to the experience.

~4/5
(Contains some spoilers.)
The end of Ebisu and the restart is hard on all of the Gods, but Yato in particular. Because he just fought with him, and helped him choose to live. And now Ebisu has started all over. Yato has a hard time accepting this.
Then there’s how Bishamon is the one who helped Yato, and how Yukine and Hiyori had to stay behind and wait and worry, only to find out that Yato hasn’t been all that honest with them. It’s definitely a betrayal to Yukine, who Yato should be relying on the same that Yukine relies on him. It’s hard to take that Yato would be using a stray, and I’m curious to see what evil plans his father is up to. It’s definitely bad, and hurtful to Yato.
This series is just so good. There’s a lot of serious in this volume, but then there are a couple extras at the back that are just hilarious. It’s a nice mix, and the author knows how to balance it out perfectly.
I can’t wait for the next one.
