Goodreads Synopsis:

GEARING UP

Yato has promised Hiyori that he's going to confront his father, and now there's no turning back. The first thing he'll need is a shinki powerful enough to take the crafter down, but vessels that can survive an attack from Chiki aren't easy to come by. As he contemplates his options, he realizes an even bigger problem: now that Bishamon knows what the crafter looks like, her life is in grave danger...

Review:

Things are getting complicated.
As Yato is off on a potentially suicidal mission, the crafter is only messing up more things. It looks like Bishamon is in danger, and for some reason Yukine can't seem to leave the stray alone. Yukine and the Stray are an odd companionship, but I suppose it makes sense. I'm wary at this point, though.
Yato ends up with a somewhat surprising choice for help in his mission against the crafter/his father. It's not surprising, because we all know that Kazuma will go to any lengths for Bishamon. And yet, it's very apparent how dangerous this could be.
This series can be extremely light and funny, but when it's serious, it can go so dark at times. Both themes are done very well, too.
I'm glad this series is back to somewhat normal releases, as I can deal with consistent twice a year releases. And I love this series so much.
