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:
It’s hard being a
God, especially one who’s often replaced, as we see with Ebisu. He’s replaced a lot, because of the mess he’s in with the masked yokai.
He’s still working
with Yato, in an effort to get the word, a utensil that allows him to control
the yokai. But getting out just might kill him, and he’s forced to realize that
he doesn’t want to be so easily replaceable. Meanwhile, Hiyori and Yukine are
wondering where Yato has gone and want to go save him. Hiyori especially, as
she worries about forgetting Yato completely (Yato has the same worries, but he
doesn’t realize how quickly it could happen). The other six gods of fortune,
once they find out that Ebisu is the one behind the masks, want to help him,
and Bishamonten takes the lead in saving him.
Ebisu’s storyline
so far is surprisingly sweet, and his history makes me sad for him. But I like
the way that Bishamonten backs him up, going to protect him in his time of
need. It just reasserts why I like Bishamon and Kazuma so much.
There’s a
cliffhanger at the end of the volume, and it makes me eager to see what happens
next with Yato, as he’s in the most danger still.
I love these monthly releases.
