After a 14-year run, the Noragami manga series by Adachitoka ends with the February 2024 issue of Monthly Shonen Magazine, which released on January 6 in Japan. The ending of the manga comes extremely close to the 10th anniversary of the anime’s premiere on January 5, 2014.
Written and illustrated by Adachitoka, the Noragami entered serialization in Monthly Shonen Magazine on December 6, 2010. 26 volumes have been released to date, and the 27th and final volume will release on February 16. The early success of Noragami also kickstarted production of the anime series, which was produced by studio Bones (My Hero Academia).
Noragami Manga Comes to a Close in 2024
After 14 years, Noragami comes to a close with the February 2024 issue of Monthly Shonen Magazine. The story of Noragami will also conclude with the release of the 27th volume on February 16, which will be sold digitally and physically. In the west, fans may purchase a digital volume from publisher Kodansha for $7.99.
Since the manga is complete, demand for the return of the Noragami anime series will surely pick up. A screening of the Noragami anime was held in November 2013, and the series made its debut the following January. The first season of Noragami ran for 12 episodes until March 23, 2014. The second season, Noragami Aragoto, ran for 13 episodes from October 2, 2015 to December 25, 2015. Four OVAs were released as well.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the manga series, via Kodansha:
Yato is a homeless god. He doesn’t even have a shrine, not to mention worshippers! So to achieve his ambitious goals, he’s set up a service to help those in need (for a small fee), hoping he’ll eventually raise enough money to build himself the lavish temple of his dreams. Of course, he can’t afford to be picky, so Yato accepts all kinds of jobs, from finding lost kittens to helping a student overcome bullies at school.
