Here are my two full pieces I did for @noragamifinalezine ! It was an honor to work with everyone, everything turned out amazing 🌸

Doctor Iki!!!!

This account, where have I been, Noragami final arc

Heyo!

So... my account kinda has been pretty empty and slow with reblogs or posts in the past 3 years, hasn’t it?

With over 6k followers, I think I need to give an explanation on what’s been going on. :D

So where have I been?

just living my life, really. Went through some rough mental health issues, a break up, family conflicts, changing schools after graduating and much more. Life has been tough and that means I stopped being active in the noragami fandom on all social media.

Did I.. get bored of Noragami?

NOPE! :D Noragami is still a part of my life, my collection is still sitting where it’s always been and I still catch up to any updates and still read every single chapter as it releases. So why the silence? Well, like I said, life stuff, it stopped me from being motivated to really sit through tumblr posts and all I did was reblog any new art by Adachitoka or reblog a new chapter being translated, as I still care for this account and the Noragami series. Noragami is still my number 1 anime and manga series and I still love it as much as I did in 2016, but my life has changed a lot throughout these years and I have so many more other  interests now. 

The Noragami final arc......

Not going to lie, my heart sank as I read that line. I might not be as active in the Noragami fandom, but like I said, this series is still my number one and seeing it come to an end will hit hard when it comes. You gotta understand that throughout 2016 ti’ll 2019, Noragami was my life, the series was my main cope with the harsh world of middle school and abuse I was going through and I knew every single detail of the series, memorized every episode, manga chapter, collected every merch, etc. I knew everything about Noragami and the fandom, every little corner of fan content, I knew it all. So seeing something that took over my life coming to an end is honestly kinda heartbreaking, but I don’t look at it negatively. Noragami is wrapping up big things in it’s story and I’m so excited to see what the grand finale will hold. I’d rather have the series end on a conclusive and wonderful ending, then let it drag on for too long just to ‘’satisfy’’ fans or ‘’sell’’. 

I will miss this series dearly, I really will, but even after ending, I’ll still keep up with the fandom and what Adachitoka decide to do in the future with their work. I might have other interests and a very different mindset in life after everything I've been through in the last 3 years, but this series will always stay number one in my heart and I don’t want to ever leave it. 

What now?

I still won’t be crazy active, but with the final arc happening, I will definitely keep my eyes out more on tumblr here and of course I’ll still reblog some of my favorite posts. Once the series ends, I probably won’t be doing much with this account other than reblog any ‘’new’’ material (if we get any) on my @noragami-official-art blog. It will really depend on how my life and mental health will be once the series ends, but again, even if I won’t be as active, I will still lurk around the fandom, I’m not leaving Noragami any time soon. ^^

Noragami Final Chapter

*wipes hands* Welp, there you have it. It's done. Chapter is translated and in the wild. Thanks to everyone who's kept up with the series until the end!

Couple translation notes at the bottom.

Translation notes:

Page 20:

"Houki" (砲器) is a new shinki for Bishamon. Their name literally just means "cannon". Also, I don't remember Bishamon losing an arm and a leg since she seemed to still have all her limbs the last time we saw her, so I assume that's just the effect of the shinki glamor? Not sure what the "human" reading for 砲 would be, possibly "Nuiha" or "Zutsuha".

Page 25:

Teke-teke is an urban legend about the vengeful spirit of a girl who was hit by a train and cut in half at the waist, who drags herself around and kills people. There was a movie released in 2009 in Japan based on it.

Page 37:

A lot of the text on the signboard is unreadable, but the gist seems to be they're looking for a woman who knocked over a baby stroller on 7/10 (so since the final page says it's currently April, it's been a while). There's a jar of dead flowers next to the sign, so it's possible the ayakashi is the spirit of the baby, much like the spirit of the girl Yukine found early in the series.

Noragami fandom resurfacing:

Since the sakura... is the tree of spring.

"I'll give you all that I am, so please, please..."

Without text

Yukine's journey toward acceptance of the life that was robbed of him, this time with finality, exemplifies the emotional and beautifully rendered arc that has defined his character.

Yukine finally accepting the reality of his death. Yukine stepping out from the fridge that contained memories of what was once his life. Yukine freeing himself from the shackles of his trauma. Yukine running to protect the person who cherished him the most in the world. Yukine standing up to an abusive father. Yukine wholeheartedly apologizing. Yukine's growth, and Yato tearing up as he stretches his little arms to pull him for an embrace.

Yukine's gratitude for what Yato did for him is evident throughout the series. He was given a name more precious than any other. He was treated like a human--an ordinary teenage boy. And life after that was one exciting journey after another. Now, Yukine can no longer be entirely consumed by the horrors of his past because he knows that his reality with Yato is so much brighter. Far brighter.

Yukine could break out from that refrigerator because of the true, sincere, and nurturing love shown by the only father figure in his life. Yato has said multiple times throughout the series that Yukine was his priority above all else, and Yukine was the only person he swore to protect the most. Hell, he even went straight to hug him after Yukine apologized for turning into that form! Yato did not need to summon Yukine. Yukine came to protect Yato on his own decision. As he always did.

The journey to their healing will be painful, and this chapter shows that Yato and Yukine will face it together. No more secrets and no more miscommunications. They will help and be by each other's side as they always have, not only as god and shinki but, this time, as family.

"I will not let him die. Not Yato. No matter what happens... I swear I won't let anyone take him from me!" -Yukine, Noragami Vol. 17 Chapter 67.

Noragami Final Chapter Raws

It's here! It's the end! This chapter isn't numbered and is just called "final chapter", but it would technically be 109, I suppose. There's a LOT of talking in this chapter to tie up loose ends, but I also took the day off work to work on it, so hopefully I can finish it in a day, since it's twice as long as normal.
