Interesting start so far. The characters are certainly pretty good so far. Each with their own quirks and stand-out personality traits. The art is really nice, what great shading.
I'm just going to say it sorta reminds me of Bleach because it'll make Alice mad.
Personal preference, I wish Yato would refer to himself as a deity (I think he does at one point) more than a god, since the word "god" carries too many expectations that don't fit, I think.
Wish they'd call his outfit a "tracksuit" instead of a "sweatsuit".
On the last page, why is it "Yato-saman"? Is this a typo, should it say Yato-sama?
I'm a bit nervous about the translation since it's Kodansha. Looks like it has two translators, but no editor or proofreader credit.
However, I'm super impressed by the depth of the translator notes. There's five full pages of them and they include the panel in question, which is super useful. I wish more notes would provide context like that.
A good start so far!

One of the best manga series. Great character development, good family vibes. Absolutely fire 🔥🔥🔥
I reckon I waltzed into this one expecting a horror show. My bad. That doesn't mean that I was disappointed with the way it went. I actually loved that my expectations were thwarted and I got to experience something other.
It's still to early in the series to say that I have a strong attachment to the characters but I can say without doubt, there is a certain god somewhere who deserves to have a shrine.

Another very good book. This one is different from the anime though, so it may be easier to review. We are introduced to a girl in the beginning who calls on a god to help her, when he does, his weapon quits on him. So, now he is stuck weaponless. When another girl who can see spirits for no particular reason tries to save him from being hit by a bus, shenanigans ensue. Yato, the god, gets a new weapon and unintentionally picks up the girl as a friend/companion. This first volume was full of entertaining character introductions. I loved how what's-her-face (literally cannot remember her name offhand) thinks she is finding spirits for Yato to use as his next weapon, but in reality she is finding what he uses the weapons against. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series.
I watched the anime first before reading this. So I know the storyline already. But obviously the art here is better than anime. Yato and Yuki are so cute!

I wasn't as impressed with the story as I thought I would be, but I am going to pick up the next volume and give it another chance. We will see if I stick with it or not after that.
I love how Yato and Hiyori first met (YATORI IS OTP) and Yukine starting being a pain in the ass... I hope we get over this phase faster than the anime
