Noragami

review 1: Noragami is such an interesting manga. The story-line isn't anything that hasn't been done before, but it's done in a unique and fun way -- and the characters are engaging and entertaining. As far as shounen manga go, which I don't usually stick with if only because all the endless MUST BATTLE, MUST GET STRONGER gets boring for me, this one does a great job of focusing on interpersonal relationships in addition to the plot, plus add a great level of mystery. Love it and can't wait to read more!
review 2: Noragami is a rare manga. I wouldn't say the plot is original or unexpected. Shonen mangas usually involves spirits and gods, and the master-weapon thing is a lot like Soul Eater.But, when you think about it, it's not about what story you tell, it's about HOW y... moreou tell it.Noragami surprised me with a complicated plot and great character development. The art is absolutely fantastic and inspiring. I find myself staring at a single panel for at least 5 minutes, trying to understand the clean lineart and the gorgeous style.Another thing I like about it is the characters themselfs; too bad Hiyori isn't ass-kicking like I thought she would be, but I like her. However I hope she will be more useful towards the end. Yato's character is complecated, and at first I thought he will be another typical protagonist. However, he is smarter then most of the shonen lead characters, and I find his character very interesting. Yukine is also great. A lot of people dislike him, saying that he is annoying and useless. I liked the fact the he made a lot of mistakes, and also, he showed a kind and loyal side, and his character developed, and yet the Mangakas managed to keep his change realistic.There are a lot of great side characters, such as Bishamon, ebisu, and Kofuku (I hope I wrote them right). And last but not least, the message of the story; I find it very inspiring that two female Mangakas create such a wonderful SHONEN manga. It's about friendship and forgiveness, and showing boys and girls that they shouldn't seek popularity, because even one important person is enought. I like it. One person that believes in Yato is enough for him. I think it's a good message for the audience of the story. Noragami is a great manga for those who seek a well written, action packed story, with likeable characters and great art.If you're searching for a new favorite manga to put in your shelf, check it out. less
