Deciding she can't live on like this, she begs Yato and pays him in advance to restore her back to her original form, and thus, the two connect and Hiyori is abruptly introduced to the world outside of our reality.Īt least, that's what the show would have you believe from its broad overarching plot. This results in not only an accident and her being taken to the hospital, but from then on she gains the somewhat troublesome habit of losing her physical body and taking on a similar form, but travels around as her soul seperated from her body. She is, pushes Yato out of the way of an incoming bus when he suddenly runs into traffic. The story of Noragami begins with Hiyori: an average high school girl who has a fated encounter with Yato, a homeless god, but we'll get to them later. Keep in mind that this is my first review so anything I’m about to say may be incredibly biased or just inexperienced as a whole. Noragami, however, manages to pull off all of its elements perfectly without even batting an eye. And with Hiyori's help, Yato's luck may finally be turning around.Īll of us have seen that one series or show or book that didn't seem to know which direction in which it was going. Hiyori demands that Yato return her to normal, but upon learning that he needs a new partner to do so, reluctantly agrees to help him find one. Remarkably, she survives, but the event has caused her soul to become loose and hence able to leave her body. Just as things seem to be looking grim for the god, his fortune changes when a middle school girl, Hiyori Iki, supposedly saves Yato from a car accident, taking the hit for him. He spends his days doing odd jobs for five yen apiece, until his weapon partner becomes fed up with her useless master and deserts him.

Without a single shrine dedicated to his name, however, his goals are far from being realized. Yato is a minor deity and a self-proclaimed "Delivery God," who dreams of having millions of worshippers.

If you call this number, you will hear a young man introduce himself as the Yato God. In times of need, if you look in the right place, you just may see a strange telephone number scrawled in red.
