College entrance exams suck.

- Tests are such a drag... - Gotta do good...

Man, I just wanna go have fun!

Study! Study!

Get a load of her, actin' all cool by herself.

At least an average score...

- No one cares about a loser like you. - What's with her?

She shoulda just stayed in the nurse's office.

She misses a bit of school and suddenly gets all kinds of special treatment.

- Ugh. More tutoring? - Wearin' a sweater instead of a uniform...

Now if only she'd slit her wrists!

You seriously suck.

Help me...

Help me, God!

"5 yen"

Your wish...

...has been heard loud and clear!

Wait, doesn't this Phantom seem especially large?

It is exam season. Everyone's on edge.

With you, this'll be a cinch.

Let's go, Tomone!

Yes, Mr. Yato.

Come, Hanki!

"Tomo"

Hey! Hey! Hey!

You who would desecrate this land of the rising sun!

I now lay waste with the Hanki...

...and expel thy vast defilement!

Rend!

You weren't even a plaything for my Regalia.

Uhh, Mr. Yato? Mr. Yato!

Oh, right.

Revert, Tomone.

You and your nasty, sweaty hands!

H-H-How... dare you...

I'm your master...!

- We need to talk, Mr. Yato. - Huh?

I'm quitting. I won't be your Regalia anymore.

Huh?

Wait, Tomone. It's only been three months...

I can't take it anymore! I can't do this anymore! I'm through!

Living like a vagrant with a minor god who doesn't even have a shrine...

Every fiber of my being screams, "No!"

Huh?

Umm... I'm the one who feels like crying...

A-All right! Okay! Fine!

"Tomo"

Hanki... I release you.

It's gone!

Just so you know, as a parting piece of wisdom,

it's common courtesy to give a full month's notice before you quit!

Thanks for nothing,

you jobless, jersey-wearing drifter who calls himself a god!

- So that's the real you, huh?! - See ya!

Dammit! You'll come crawling back to me once I hit it big!

Just you watch!

Soon I'll have 120 million worshippers and stand above all other gods!

You dumb-ass!

"Noragami"

I'm holding a loaded gun in one hand

I'm coming for you on foot, while you stand there shaking

Tick-tock, the clock hand moves, tick-tock

All you've done is speed up this panic

Tick-tock, the clock hand moves, tick-tock

I'm coming for you, with no sign of stopping

Tick-tock, the clock hand moves, tick-tock

There's a boundary between end and beginning

Tick-tock, the clock hand moves, tick-tock

But we've come full-circle

Silently, I waited

all alone in a dim room

Silently, I waited

for the sound of the door being kicked down

Silently, I waited

all alone in a dim room

Silently, I waited

There's nothing to be afraid of now

Holding my loaded gun

I kick down the tightly-shut door

The muzzle kicks back at point-blank

and perforates my yesterday's self

After taking the despair of, "Good night,"

my tomorrow's self sets out on foot

Let's meet up again tonight

Yato 365 days a year! I'll solve any trouble at all!

That lousy Tomone... Can't believe a Regalia actually quit on me...

Oof...

That's better.

I'll never build a shrine with just this much...

Yato 365 days a year! I'll solve any trouble at all!

Wait, finding a new Regalia comes first!

Even if I am a god, without a Regalia I'm basically unarmed!

Or even butt-naked!

I can't go on any jobs like this!

Not like I get many jobs to begin with, though...

Hello! Thank you for calling!

Fast, affordable, and reliable! Delivery God Yato, at your service!

Huh?

Milord has gone missing?

Chapter 1 I A Housecat, a Stray God, and a Tail

Milord?

Milord

Missing Cat

Some people actually name their pets like this, huh?

Yeah, like "Lord" or "King" or "God"!

God...

Actually, you named your dog after Zenny's leader, Ami. That's lame!

What do you mean, lame?! Shiina's totally my wife!

I'm all about the Hundred Archfiends!

How can you like visual kei?

- Milord! - How can you like Zenny's?!

Milord!

- Zenny's is godlike! - Nope, the Hundred Archfiends are!

Hey, Milord!

Which do you think is more godlike?!

I've finished downloading my god!

We're now in the final round of the showdown of the century!

The two circle around and...

Oh, my! He grabs his leg!

How will Tono respond?!

There it is!

His deadly Jungle Savate technique!

Sorry. We were stupid to ask your opinion.

I didn't know you were a closet martial arts fan.

I wouldn't say I'm a closet fan...

You haven't told your parents, right?

I think my mother would faint if she found out I'm into this...

- "My, how crude!" - Milord!

- "You must focus on being a lady... - Milord!

- ...who won't shame the Iki family name!" - Milord!

- "And then someday... land a handsome husband!" - Where be'eth you, Milord?!

- Milord! - How do you know how my mom talks?!

Still, Hiyori. Are there any guys you do like besides Tono?

Yeah! Like someone who's closer and more attainable!

Huh? H-Hmm...

Someone I like...

I don't think there is anyone...

Milord!

Hey! Wait!

Don't scamper off, Milord!

Hey!

Hiyori?!

- Hey! What happened?! - A girl jumped in front of the bus!

That's dangerous, you know! Jumping into the street like that...!

You could've died!

Oh, err, more importantly...

Hiyori?! Hiyori?!

Say something, Hiyori!

- Hiyori! - Is she all right?!

I just called for an ambulance!

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?!

Wha...?!

Hiyori?!

Can you hear me?! Hiyori!

Hiyori!

Thank goodness! You're awake!

Are you all right?! Are you in pain?!

Hurry, Dear! Examine her!

R-Right!

Mm. She seems all right.

What a relief!

Father...

Your CAT scan looked just fine, and your EEG appears normal, too.

You were hit by a bus, yet somehow you only suffered a few scratches...

- A bus... - I'm worried, Dear.

If anything should happen to our precious Hiyori...

"Iki General Hospital"

This is our hospital; you should keep her here a while!

Come, now. There's a whole list of patients waiting for a vacancy, you know.

But...!

What about the other guy who got hit too?

Oh, I saw him!

I... think?

Huh? There was no one else there.

Hiyori was just suddenly lying in the street.

Huh?

Hiyori. Maybe your memory is still a bit hazy?

But he was there.

Are you sleepy? You must be exhausted.

You should get some rest for today.

I'm certain there was a guy there...

Plus...

...I somehow remember seeing another me there...

I want to keep living!

Where is she?! I want to see her!

When will they finally let me leave?

Mommy...

It hurts...

It hurts!

My legs hurt so much...

- We'll go when you're all better! - What... are these voices?

I can't breathe...

- It hurts! - I just want to go outside!

It's hopeless...

You can hear the voices of the Far Shore?

Guess you're okay if you can move like that.

You're that guy...!

Thanks for this morning!

I didn't really need help avoiding that bus,

but you're the first human to ever save me.

Wh-Who are you?!

I'm a god.

Hello, police?!

There's a weird guy in a jersey who says he's a god...

Wait, wait, wait!

I really am a genuine, bonafide member of the gods!

I'm the god Yato!

Yato?

I've never heard of that god.

Not once!

Well, I'm sort of an up-and-coming stray god right now...

...but just you watch!

I'll soon be known far and wide!

"Me"

"Me" "Festival" "Yato"

I'll become a god that everyone will bow and wish to!

And then...!

Heave-ho! Heave-ho!

"Yato"

Heave-ho! Heave-ho!

...I will someday stand as this land's highest god!

"Yato"

It's going to be a stormy night tonight,

plus this place is crawling with 'em.

I can't really stick around without a Regalia.

- Nora's already in use tonight, so... - Wait! That's for me!

Hey, what's your name?

Hiyori. Hiyori Iki.

Hiyori...

All right, I've made sure you're okay. Now we're even!

Huh?

See ya!

Wai...

My body feels heavy...

I can't... stay awake...

Ya...to...

"Noragami"

Hiyori!

Ami! Yama!

- Are you all better? - Yeah!

Man! I'm glad you didn't get hurt!

Sorry for worrying you!

Jump into the street again and I'll smack you with a Jungle Savate!

I bet she wouldn't mind a smack from her dear Tono!

Oh, you!

Whoa, Hiyori!

S-Sorry...

I suddenly get really drowsy sometimes...

Huh?

Were you up all night playing video games?

Was it maybe just a dream?

I feel like I met someone that night in the hospital...

Jerseys...

Are you okay, Hiyori?

You've been kinda out of it all day...

Yeah. I've just been really sleepy...

Maybe you slept too much in the hospital?

The accident was just the other day.

What is it, Hiyori?

Milord

Missing Cat

Hmm? Oh, from the other day!

That's right...

I remember there was a guy in a jersey

when I was chasing this cat...

Milord!

Sorry, you guys. Go on without me.

- Huh? - Huh?

I...

...must henceforth locate Milord.

Wha...?!

Milord!

Milord!

Milord?

Nope...

Milord!

If I find the cat...

- ...I might fully remember. - Milord!

Milord!

I'm feeling drowsy again...

This smell...

Hey!

Milord!

Come out! I got some nice catnip!

It's really getting stormy now...

Milord!

Wait! Stay right there!

Don't run, now!

What's the matter?

Smells nice...

Smells nice... Smells nice...

Smells nice!

Smells nice.

They're small fries, but there's too many of 'em!

Too many to deal with!

You teased them, didn't you?!

Milord! You've taken your merriment too far!

Smells nice.

In you go.

That did nothing.

Come, Hanki!

Crap! I forgot I don't got a Regalia!

Hiyori Iki?!

What the heck...?!

Hyaaah!

You want a piece of me?!

You idiot! You can't...!

Jungle...

...Savate!

I-It worked!

The great Tono has paid me a visit from the heavens!

Oh! I'll always be your faithful follower for as long as I live!

I think we lost it.

Still, this girl has saved me again...

We finally meet again, Mr. Yato.

I still had a lot to ask you!

But you suddenly ran off...

No dodging the questions this time! Give me straight answers!

Uhh, FYI...

Your soul's slipped out.

Huh?

Your body's stuck up there.

Wha...?! That's me?!

H-How is this...? Am I dead?!

Not really. Your body's just asleep.

Sheesh. Some lucky cat you are.

I'll hand out fliers and look some more tomorrow!

Okay?

Don't worry. I'm sure he'll turn up!

Yes?

Milord!

It's Milord! Milord!

My wish really came true!

Thank you, Yato!

Smells nice...

Yuck! Let go of me! Pervert!

I'm no pervert! I'm a god!

Again with that?!

Oh, yeah! My tail!

Huh? It's gone...

What? What's going on?

It was all a dream?

It wasn't, was it?

What's happened to me?

It must've been the accident...

There's the "Near Shore" where the living reside, and then there's the "Far Shore."

And you've basically wound up in the divide between them.

The Near Shore and... Far Shore?

Yeah.

I guess the Far Shore is what you guys would call...

...the "afterlife."

You're alive, yet also a "Phantom."

Phantom...

They're incarnations of emotional energy.

They possess people and cause all sorts of trouble.

Wait, so that big frog just now, was it also...?

A Phantom.

Wha...?! I'm the same as that?!

- No, not exactly. - Huh?

You're much more... on-the-fence.

Uhh... I don't really understand.

Losing your body will be common for you now.

So, how can I get better?

I'm not sure you can get better.

This is just the way you are now. Accept it.

You can't be serious!

I can't live like this! I don't want this! Turn me back!

You're a god, right?! Help me!

Money.

You charge money?!

Duh! There's no such thing as a free wish!

It'll cost ya this much.

50,000?! 500,000?!

- I don't have that kind of money! - Tch. Fool.

I'm a god, remember?!

And everyone knows you're supposed to offer 5-yen coins to gods!

Fi...?

Huh? Umm...

Your wish...

...has been heard loud and clear!

Hiyori Iki.

May our fates intertwine.

No matter what happens, I promise

that I'll call your name

Ah

You have a jagged-edged heart

You hurt everything that you touch

and you glare at everything in the world

That look in your eyes says, "Here I am!"

Someone laughed

and that's why you put up that border line

In which case, I'll hold your hand

and take you with me

If you can't say it, just hold my hand tightly and don't let go

I want you to know

you're not alone anymore

Step #1 in Project: Make Yato a Major God

is to come up with an all-new chant for portable Yato shrines!

What's wrong with regular ol' "heave-ho"?

Instead of "heave-ho" let's use "ya-ho"!

On the next Noragami: "Snow-like."

Next Episode I Snow-like

Remember! That's, "Ya-ho, Yato!"
