Noragami: Stray God 10

You know that mystery character from American Gods that nobody can remember? Well what if you based a story around him and set it in Japan. How does a god that requires belief to survive, do so when nobody can retain their memories of him?I marathon bought and read all the books in this series to date after watching the anime. This is not something that I normally do so this series occupies a special place in that regard. It does that thing that I like of mixing the mundane nature of the normal world with the other-worldliness of the other. Readers of Neil Gaiman's work or fans of the Bakamonogatari series will know that vibe. I say give it a shot. Despite already knowing most of the story from the anime I do not regret buying and reading the story in the "original" format.

Loving this series!

OMG. So intense! This is a turning point. Everything reached a head in the last volume and this one takes up from there and places the story arc at the beginning of its new journey. Bishamonten has a super awesome battle scene and we see why she is such a fabulous warrior god. Loved that battle so much! But she and Yato are on the outs now and he has given her a new nickname which has stuck in a comic way and it is soooo hilarious! Fantastic volume really all round with action, plot, characters and humour! I'm in love with this manga!
