ノラガミ [Noragami]

In Adachitoka's Noragami, a self-proclaimed "delivery god" named Yato scrapes by on five-yen offerings, desperate for enough worshippers to build his own shrine. This manga series, serialized by Kōdansha from 2011 to 2024 across 27 volumes, follows Yato's unlikely partnership with a sharp-tongued human girl, Hiyori, and his Regalia, Yukine, as they battle rogue spirits and the shadows of the Far Shore. Blending Japanese folklore with sharp action and wry humor, the series became a defining modern shonen work for its poignant exploration of divinity, memory, and the fragile bonds that give a god purpose.
