Noragami: Stray God, Volume 4 by Adachitoka
5.0
Holy shit, Kofuku threatened Bishamon! That's it, it's official, Kofuku best girl don't @ me!
Anyway, this was an interesting volume because it not only showed the consequences of owning multiple shinki from a physical perspective, but also from an emotional one. Not wanting to hurt your master with your negative emotions is fine, but bottling them up and hiding them is even worse. It's a simple idea (going to others for help when suffering) that's been used in media multiple times, but adding a physical ramification on both the one suffering and the master drives home the point more. I also appreciate how we could both sides of the idea (Bishamon's stance and the shinkis') and how both of them are valid, and that validity is what's making it worse. If both sides see themselves as the problem, how can they hope to find a solution? I know I'm just rambling here, but I really like how this idea is being used and how dangerous is can be.
That's all I really want to say about this volume. A nice start to this arc, looking forward to continuing it!
