Story: 8 As said, this manga isn't a typical one. It's the type that keeps you wanting more and more. It presents some small feelings of mystery, and a bit of dread. Kind of like hidden dark parts to the plot. The first chapter was a disappointment to me. read more
Out of all the Supernatural/God/Phantom genres i have read, Noragami has surprised me. Not because it had a original storyline, but the depth of the plot, and the overall lesson it teaches you at the end of each arc.The plot balances the amount of action, comedy and romance (yes there's romance) well and most importantly, flashbacks don't last an read more
Story (10) Noragami's plot is fantastic. Personally I picked up this manga because of its unique plotline and it did not disappoint. Yato a minor god seeks to build a shrine and to become a famous god with a lot of followers. I do not want to go too into detail but I guarantee that the pacing of this manga will not disappoint; VERY GOOD pacing. Art (9) I enjoy the art style that the mangakan has. Very well drawned and very neat definitely something that won't hurt your eyes. Character (10) Each read more
Noragami is one that pulls off all of these brilliantly, in my opinion. It's truly a gem. Here are my thoughts on it. I won't lie, I didn't start off with the manga. In fact I didn't even KNOW about the manga. I watched the anime first, because well... read more
What started off as a seemingly fairly average series with an interesting concept has turned into one of my all time favourite series. The plot of the manga has become so much deeper and intense read more
So a week back, I started reading the manga from the start. And let me tell you this is one of the best stories I've ever read. Action, Storyline, Characters everything are topnotch. read more
Yato is a minor god who hopes to one day have thousands of followers and a shrine dedicated to him. As of now, he pass by doing odd jobs like searching for lost cats and fixing leaking pipes. Aiding these gods of that universe are “Shinki”; spirits that were once living humans that now become weapon/tools for the gods. Yato’s shinki has recently quit. Now, he must work with his newest shinki; Yukine, who isn’t quite happy with severing a low-end god. As you can tell from this summary, the story is quite original. The first time I read its synonym, it instantly pipe read more
Story : I read the manga as soon as I reached the 3rd episode of the anime and boy have I made a great decision. This story starts out with a god, namely Yato who was saved by a human girl, Hiyori, when she saw him almost got run by a truck. But, by saving him, it leads her to communicate with the "other side". It sounds plain, at first. As the story goes on, you'll see the read more
After picking up where the first season left off, I was completely immersed in the story and they way Adachitoka were able to create an intricate world filled with rich, Japanese Shinto history and motifs. Noragami does a great job pacing its action and development, thus playing effectively into the storybeats when it moments need to be emotional or tense. I genuinely enjoyed the first few arcs for characters like Bishamon, Yukine, and Ebisu as the manga paces out their conflicts well, resulting in great payoff for read more
Story- 9/10 So, Noragami's premise isn't something you'd think too impressive. A god, his shinki (a human spirit that died unnaturally and has been granted new life. Can turn into an object to the god who holds their name), and a human. Delivery is everything though! The first arc deals with very human problems and it's in a way that I must warn could be triggering to many with a few mentions of read more
Although a month between new chapters is a long time which allows intense feelings to cool down, I find myself falling in love with this manga all over again with each new chapter. I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend it. First of all, to get it out of the way, the art is beautiful and clean, and the panel composition is quite fluent. The characters are distinct, charming and really likable. The manga really knows how to be funny when it wants to be, and how to pull at your heart strings when it aims to play with your read more
Story - 8/10 The story is somewhat average, with elements that can be found in many Shonen manga like a power-up that is executed when on the brink of death, the "main character is very very gifted and exceptional" cliche, and so on. But these elements take a back seat for Noragami's actual read more
Gods and spirits.Minor and major gods.Noragami has an interesting theme(personal preference.I love mythology).However, the story-telling is inconsistent and weak.There's humor here and there, but the weakness of the plot irritates me a lot. Art - 7/10 Decent.but nothing too spectacular. Character - 5/10 read more
Noragami has a very well-thought out plot. It's shrouded in mystery, it keeps on your toes and at the same time gives you enough to get by. I really like the comedy parts, and I love how they actually are a big part of the manga. But if there's anything I liked a lot, it's the characters. The thing that decides whether a manga is good or not for me is its characters. If I get attached read more
Story/Overall Enjoyment: Without being overbearing, over dramatic, pretentious, or pseudo-intellectual (like so, so many manga/anime) it masterfully weaves a tragic story through comedy and well-fought optimism. Even at its most grim, Noragami is a tale of resilience, perseverance and friendship in the face of death, afterlife, and the "somewhere in between." It's a story of the endless struggle for serenity and happiness, even against all odds, even when suicide seems like the only viable course of action. For those of you who tend to stick to comedy- read Noragami. For those of read more
I am not sure if my style of writing is allright, as this would be my first review in terms of mangas, but i will also talk, in turn, about the matters that caught my attention and read more
Story: 9/10 The premise of Noragami sounds interesting enough, and is completely original. You wouldn't find many other manga out there that is related to Gods and Japanese mythology with some twists, now would you? The basic plot is that the minor God, Yato, is constantly trying to gain recognition in order to read more
If you first took a look at Noragami, you'd just think it's just your typical shounen manga, but it's not. Noragami is a hidden gem and I can tell you this, this manga deserves much more praise for the directions it takes with the story,characters, art and just pretty much everything. Story: Noragami takes place in an alternate universe where gods grant human's wishes and protects humans corrupted spirits called Ayakashi. Our story revolves around a homeless, delivery god Yato, who grants wishes for 5 yen, what Japanese people usually give at a shrine. He gets in an accident with a human girl read more |
