Amazon Synopsis:
Yato is a homeless god. He doesn't even have a
shrine, let alone any worshippers! So, to achieve his ambitious goals,
he's set up a service to help those in need (for a small fee of course).
He hopes that one day he'll be able to build the temple he feels he
deserves, but for now he can't be picky about the jobs that he chooses
to accept. From finding lost kittens to overcoming school bullies, Yato
is divinely intervening all over the place!
Review:
After that previous
volume, I expected this plot to be a whole lot more dramatic. And it turns out
it’s the complete opposite of what I thought, but also in a good way. It surprised
me, but I wasn’t disappointed, and it wasn’t anticlimactic like it could have
been.
Instead, Hiyori is
not talking to Yato because of what he did. But then she throws a party with
all the Gods and shinki that she knows, including Yato and Bishamon. Which
causes some drama, but mostly a lot of hilarity. There’s more problems for poor
Hiyori, when Yato takes over her body and goes crazy at her high school, giving
her a bad reputation. And there’s another cliffhanger at the end, where
something surprising and bad is revealed about Yato and the Stray.
The most important
part of the volume, though, is when Hiyori makes Yato a mini-shrine. She thinks
it’s no big deal, just something to cheer him up. But to the Gods, it’s showing
that he’s remembered and honored, and it gives him a step up in recognition.
It’s a really important step for him, and it’s sweet how much it means to him.
I’m just seriously
enjoying this series. It’s hilarious but serious when need be. The next one
should be good.
