Noragami: Stray God 11 (NORAGAMI STRAY GOD GN)

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.

Had me laughing a little too loudly at 1am, onto the next volume!

Looks OK

A great volume! In vol. 10 the story arc finished and I guess you can call this one an inbetweener. It examines where things stand now and is much concerned with character and ends with Yato taking on and solving a case like in the early volumes. Loved that! Yato is on a high as the God of Happiness and his new role examines his new state of mind and relationship with Yukine. Hiroyi plays a major part in this volume and she and Yato work on their relationship as well. As a side story and introducing the new arc are flashes to Yato's father and brief glimpses at his schemings and evilness. This will definitely be playing a larger role in the next volume. But for now, volume 11 is lots of fun spending time with our three main characters, they even visit a theme park! and brief cameos are made by practically everyone in the series. Great book to further character development, and add some lightheartedness between story arcs. Splendid series!
