Good stuff. I like the balance of humor and heart. I'm think the concept is great and has room to be fun and sympathetic and I look forward to reading more.
Currently only read vol 1, but so far 5/5 stars!
This was so cute and really exciting to read! I'd been wanting to start this manga for quite a while and it didn't disappoint! The God Yato wants to be worshipped and loved by humans - but before that he has to do odd jobs for people to raise money so he can build himself a shrine. In this volume Yato helps a girl fight off bullies by killing the ayakashi - dead spirits that hide in human's "blind spots" and feed off negative atmospheres - around her. He also meets Hiyori, a girl who tries to help Yato by pushing him from in front of a bus but accidentally gets hit herself and separates her soul from her body, and Yuki - his new Shinki, or a spirit who turns into a weapon.
I can't wait to continue on with this!!

I have watched all of the anime that is currently out for the Noragami series and wanted more, so I decided to read the manga! That being said, I already knew I would love the story and characters. I love the humor in the series, and it carries over well from manga to anime. I really appreciated the bit at the end of this volume on the translation of certain phrases and other possible meanings and an explanation of how it is being used because I know a lot can be lost or changed in translation. It really helped to explain a couple things I had been wondering about, such as where Hanki and Shinki came from. I haven’t seen a manga include this before, and was very excited about it and hope it continues in the later volumes.
I also like that the manga isn’t basically frame for frame the same as the anime because I have read several series that were so similar I didn’t end up finishing the manga. Great introduction to the characters and basic plot line and setting. I love how complex Yato’s character is and can’t wait to see Yukinae’s character develop in the manga.

It's kind of meh for me. The story was entertaining enough, but I didn't really connect with the characters all too much sadly. The characters felt a little bit too one dimensional.
