Noragami: Stray God 2 by Adachitoka
5.0
Damn, this was a great second volume! The introduction of other gods was done seamlessly, the action was awesome, and the worldbuilding continues to be informative and fascinating without dragging down the pacing.
Yukine's struggles are interesting and I'm curious to learn more about his backstory. I also love how complex Yato is and what a perfectly balanced character he is. He has just enough negative qualities to get readers to understand why other people hate him, but he has enough redeeming qualities that show what a great person he is deep down. It's hard to balance a character like this and I think Adachitoka did a great job.
We have also been introduced to two of my fave female characters (along with Hiyori, of course) Bishamon and Kofuku. While their introductions left them a bit one dimensional now, they do some great character development and backstory later on and I'm already pumped to read it. But as they are now, I really like them and how strong they are in different ways.
Anyway, enough of my rambling, on to volume 3!
