Another stunning cover. This story continues to be engaging and the characters compelling. A rare long running story I am still enjoying and prioritize reading. ( )

It seems like there's a crisis of some sort with each new installment of "Noragami: Stray God." This time, we turn our attention to the heavenly council and some of its dark past. Meanwhile, with what happened with one of Bishamon's shinki, it's hinted that Kazuma's complete loyalty to Bishamon could very well steer him down a very dangerous path - one that blessed vessels have been known to follow in the past. With tension rising between him and Yukine, things are really getting serious. But, as always, even amid all of this foreshadowing, there's a healthy dose of humor, as Yato tries to matchmake for Hiyori - and it has some interesting results. I'm totally in love with this series. ( )
