Noragami: Stray God, Vol. 24 by Adachitoka

4.0

4 stars.

This was so interesting. I feel like most of this volume followed Yato/his dad/Yukine and the gods leading up to the day of purification. I LOVED seeing Yato's dad afraid for once, when he realized that Yato turned him in to the heavens and was truly intent of killing him. It is so upsetting to see how messed up Yukine is and how he just seems to want his sister. He doesnt even seem to like hurting Yato like before. He just feel like a scared kid. I think he needs to see Hiyori and his sister to come back to himself. I want for him and Yato to reconcile. I love seeing how hard Yato is trying to protect Yukine.

I love how Yato's dad wasnt able to manipulate Kazuma or get in his head. His love and faith in Bishamon is so unshakeable, and I love that. I was scared though when Yato's dad mentioned the God's secret. I hope that Bishamon wont be upset when she learns about Kazuma and Yato.

I was expecting Hiyori and the Stray to be in this more, as well as Yukine's sister. I guess that they will be in the next volume more to reach to Yukine. I also still love Ebisu, Kofuku, Takemikazuchi and the other gods and seeing them work hard to find the Crafter's gravesite and save Yato. I wonder what was so bad about the site that the previous Ebisu died there and warned against going there ever again. Also it was really interesting seeing the heavens start to wonder if they have faulted in judgement and deserve punishment.

I can't believe that there are 2 volumes of the series left and that my library only has volume 25... I dont want this series to end. Also I want very desperately for there to be a season 3 of the anime..
