**Noragami** (English)
**A forgotten god. A cursed girl. And a contract that binds them to the brink of oblivion.**
Yato is a minor, nameless deity with grand ambitions—and no shrine to his name. With only a single, reluctant follower and a worn-out tracksuit, he scrapes by as a “delivery god,” taking odd jobs for five yen a pop in the hope of one day amassing enough worship to be remembered. But in a world where gods fade into nothing when forgotten, every day is a fight for survival.
That fight takes a sharp turn when Yato saves a brash, sharp-tongued middle schooler named Hiyori Iki from a near-fatal accident—at the cost of knocking her soul right out of her body. Now trapped in a half-phantom state, Hiyori can slip between the spirit world and the human realm, tethered to Yato by an invisible thread of fate. To find a cure, she joins his cause, partnering with a cursed Regalia named Yukine—a troubled spirit-turned-weapon who carries his own fractured past.
Together, this unlikely trio navigates a dangerous underbelly of vengeful phantoms, corrupt gods, and the bleak economics of divinity. As Yato struggles to protect those he grows to care for, he is forced to confront a chilling truth: the very shadows of his past—and the secret behind his forgotten name—may be the one thing he can never outrun.
**Why read *Noragami*?**
Equal parts supernatural action, quiet tragedy, and wry comedy, *Noragami* thrives on its emotional honesty. Creator Adachitoka weaves a story where every laugh is haunted by the specter of loss, and every battle resonates with the weight of loneliness. Yato’s bravado masks a deep yearning to be cherished, Yukine’s rebellion hides a desperate need for belonging, and Hiyori’s stubborn kindness threatens to pull them all toward redemption—or ruin.
With striking, kinetic art that leaps between slapstick and devastation, and a lore-rich world where gods bargain with pocket change and souls are literal weapons, *Noragami* is a must-read for fans of *To Your Eternity*, *Jujutsu Kaisen*, or anyone who believes that even the smallest acts of faith can keep a person—or a god—from disappearing forever
