Review of Noragami 1 by Adachitoka

Synopsis:
DIVINE INTERVENTION FOR SALE Yato is a homeless god. He doesn’t even have a shrine, not to mention worshippers! So to achieve his ambitious goals, he’s set up a service to help those in need (for a small fee), hoping he’ll eventually raise enough money to build himself the lavish temple of his dreams. Of course, he can’t afford to be picky, so Yato accepts all kinds of jobs, from finding lost kittens to helping a student overcome bullies at school. 

Review:
It’s a great start to a great series, getting to know Yato and see the type of person he is. He wants a temple, but he is willing to do anything to help people. While he tries to maintain a tough exterior, it’s clear he actually wants to help people and have people appreciate and remember him. While he may appear in inconvenient places, he is endearing.

Most Mangas are quick, easy reads. I honestly forgot how much fun reading comic/picture stories like this could be before I read the Clash book from the review before this. I had been considering reading this series for awhile, and once I started, I couldn’t stop. Once I finished all the books we had already purchased (after my husband and I watched the first season on Netflix around the time of our wedding, we had bought several of these) my husband had been kind enough to order almost all the rest for me! I have finished up to the 9th book, and the rest are in omnibus form.

Star rating: ✯✯✯✯✯
