hayaori 's review for:

4.0

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.
