Goodreads Synopsis:
Yato is a homeless god.
He doesn't even have a shrine, not to mention worshippers! So to achieve
his ambitious goals, he's set up a service to help those in need (for a
small fee), hoping he'll eventually raise enough money to build himself
the lavish temple of his dreams. Of course, he can't afford to be
picky, so Yato accepts all kinds of jobs, from finding lost kittens to
helping a student overcome bullies at school.
Review:
So it turns out
that Yukine is kind of horrible. Their situation is sad, but he’s making some
very bad decisions so far. Yato is turning out to be slightly scary with a bad
past, but he’s smarter than he plays to be. I’m intrigued by him.
I just plain like
Hiyori. I’m not even sure why, but her character interests me a lot, and I like
her. Maybe I relate to her or something. And I love how she just leaves her
body behind—that’s brilliant.
We got some added
depth here for Yato and Yukine, and some nice insight and thoughts on their
situation—like the fact that Yukine is actually dead. We met a few other gods,
and an enemy of Yato’s.
I like the new
friends we met, and am enjoying the character development on everyone. Hiyori
is starting to actually develop feelings for Yato, and I’m interested to see
where that goes. The comedy in this series is top-notch, and I like that it can
separate the humor and serious so well.
The ending looks to
be starting something else, and I’m just overall interested to see what happens
next. I’m excited to read more.
