[PedroContinuous]

Good anime and manga, I'll be sure to tell my grandkids to watch season 3 when its realised

 

[Plouvoir]

I follow noragami before but i dropped it and read it again only this chapt just because i curious, and.it.so.mess.up. howly shiet......
I do know why yukine is so easily strayed from good path, but its so heart breaking seeinh him as far as hurt yato... 😭
And never i thou he will be easily comply with that person.... his new ability seems led to good but i hope he didnt get used by evil person more than this

 

[owlette]

this probably has my most favorite art out of all the shounen i've read

 

[Rin2k]

@owlette agreed. The cover art from vol 22 has to be one of my all time favs.

 

[Hadilshah]

Yato should have explained to yukine what he is about to do. Yukine said this before tell me if u have anything to say

 

[chiparibi]

hhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[ggumeagle]

Wut?

 

[DonSau]

[Saad166]

Dont you think they should have stopped the series by now tbh I totally forgot everything about this series I loved noragami so much and now it just feels like the author is dragging it.I wanted to stop reading but couldn't cause I loved it so much now every time I read this I just feel sad seeing how this amazing series is getting dragged

celebrating 10 years on 2021, waaaaw

 

[DerpyDodo]

i know its a monthly series but can anyone tell me approximately what date a new chapter comes out?

 

[calmbreez]

honestly the only thing I was really invested in was the the main twos ship but I heard its never gona happen

someone wana spoil if the ship will ever sail?

 

[ThatOneFrosty]

A new RAW chapter will be released around the 5th of each month, then we still have to wait for a scanlator to bring it to us.
Also I'm quite sure this wasn't based off of another story so I have no idea where someone would determine what ships will sail.

 

[Agavadon]

Sigh...this went exeactly where i didn't want it to.... I can do nothing but it's still kind of frustrating.

 

[Door321]

I want to start reading this but I dont know what chapter is good to start at
Should I start at the begining or from where anime ends up on? If so can you please which chapter it is.

@Door321

As is ALWAYS the case with these things, by that I mean adaptations, its usually better to start with chapter 1 if you want the 100% story. The anime, since it falls into the modern 12-13 episode season format has to cut many things for time reasons. Having said that Noragami is a fairly faithful adaptation (I would say about 75% of the source material is included. MUCH MUCH better than many Lightnovel anime that often cut around 50%.

In Noragamis case season 1 even had some "extra" material in the end with the other War God - who is not in the manga.

Its also important to note that certain things the anime decided to do actually contradict the established "rules" of the manga later down the line in the manga - not blaming the anime, they couldnt know at the time it was made as this information comes later. Without trying to spoiler ill just say this: Nora (as a sword) fighting ANYONE really as she does in the "extra part" of season 1 I mentioned is well... it would have been baaaaaaad for Yukine if he actually fought her. And Yato does not split the heavens like at the end of season 2 because again... that would have been baaaaaaaad had he done that right then and there.

So long answer aside... the short answer is: Read from chapter 1. The art is gorgeous so its worth it.


@calmbreez

THIS is the original source. Its not based of a LIghtnovel like many modern anime are. So whoever told you about certain ships or whatever was having you on. The story is still going after all.

 

[Door321]

@Daelyas ok thanks for the information!

 

[calmbreez]

@Daelyas okay but can you spoil whether both of them have romantic feelings for each other. Spoil everything that has to do with romance.

because as far as I remember watching and reading a lil ahead of season 2. There was zero romance.

 

[Daelyas]

@calmbreez

Well... its tricky isnt it? Yato is not a human - its said often that Gods just dont... scratch that... CANT "get" humans. They just fundamentally dont "work/think/feel" the same. So can he "love"? In a romantic sense? Hard to say.

Hiyori is important to him since she "believes" in him - not in some metaphorical way but the very simple "she knows he exists" kind of way. What is a God without followers after all? "Normally" without believers they would just vanish after some time. So as the only human in the world that even knows he exists... she is important to him. Is that the same as love between two humans? I cant answer that.

I highly doubt the manga will end with them starting a family together or something... seems unlikely.

 

[calmbreez]

@Daelyas Thanks for the clarification. You're right, with the authors logic in the story there's big doubt now.

Sucks I have a small list of ships I wanted to see be canon and with this that's another one that wont sail. Pain.
