Noragami: Stray God 10 by Adachitoka
5.0
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!
