I finished reading noragami, so some thoughts and ramblings, mostly abt stuff near the ending!

The manga was waaay better than I remember it being! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and may have actually binged the whole thing in like, four days oops. Yato is such a great character, Yukine is precious, and I feel like I'm liking Hiyori way more than I used to. Girl is basically a step away from becoming an ayakashi or straight up dead the entire series, but she's not letting that stop her AT ALL, while also keeping up with school well enough to become a doctor. I wish I could have attitude like that with my migraines asjdkflfk

I am surprised they were able to revive Hiyori. I had seen spoilers that Yato would make her his shinki, but I had managed to dodge the spoilers that she would just... go back to normal afterwards? A part of me kinda wishes she had remained a shinki, but that being said, I also cried my eyes out seeing the panels of everyone realizing they wouldn't be able to call her Hiyori anymore.

It's so painful T_T

Tho it's probably for the best that she was revived, because there's nooo way at least Yato or Kofuku wouldn't have called her Hiyori within 24 hours. I feel like she may have been able to survive learning her real name similar to Kazuma, since she was super loved both by her family and by the gods and shinki who knew her.

I feel like they could've explained why Yato survived a bit more nicely than just "oh he and his demon pals went viral on social media". I feel like they could've at least explained him surviving with him bringing Hiyori to the hospital and people seeing him save her or something. Or have Amaterasu do something instead of her just basically chilling in the background the whole time. In general I guess the ending felt a bit lackluster in terms of Yato's development, since he didn't seem to gain much status as a god at all despite everything he did, but eh. It was a nice ending in the grand scheme of things. And definitely emotional T_T

Kazuma and Yato fighting together was soooo cool! I'm glad Kazuma survived, tho a part of me would've also kinda loved if he didn't lol. It would've been so tragic, but I guess Bisha wouldn't have made it then either. I did cry a bunch when it was kinda implied that Kazuma was dying.

I ALSO cried when they revealed that Yato and ayakashi!Yukine first fought at the exact place where Yato had buried Yukine's real body asdkfjghfdgkld. It was so painful. I love how they did it, because it was so clear during the fight that the place was somehow significant, but at least I would've never guessed WHY it actually was so important to Yato. AND then that followed up with the fact that spirit!Yukine was hanging out near the mail box at the start of the series because he wanted to send that last letter to his sister?????

My poor heart asdkgjhdlkfgjd. The way Yukine's/Haruki's backstory was portrayed through the last parts of the manga was so great and SO painful.

I'mma end this with a couple random panels that really struck me with so much emotion while I was reading through the manga.

#now do i risk this good feeling i have by rewatching the anime hmmmm #i can't remember how bad the changes they made to the story are #but at the same time i kinda wanna see the characters animated again #noragami #posting #if you saw me accidentally post my draft of this post last night #no you didn't lmao #em devours media
