Noragami: Stray God

In Noragami: Stray God, a minor deity named Yato—who will take on any odd job for five yen—finds his fortunes tangled with a stubborn human girl and a cursed spirit. Published by Kodansha USA from 2014 to 2024, this 27-issue series is defined by the dynamic artwork of Adachitoka, whose expressive linework brings its blend of action, comedy, and emotional heft to life. A standout in the modern shonen-inspired manga landscape, it matters for its nuanced take on godhood, belonging, and the value of human connection.
