Noragami Anime Synopsis:
Noragami follows Yato, a scrappy god without a single shrine to his name. He ambitiously dreams of accumulating millions of worshippers one day, but for now, he must post graffiti ads promising just five yen for odd supernatural jobs. Yeah, Yato’s a small fry deity scraping by on loose change from magical handyman gigs.
But Yato’s fortune (and popularity) begin changing after fateful run-ins with middle schooler Hiyori. First, her soul starts dangerously slipping out from her body. Then she meets Yato, who says he can fix her “astral projection” issue for five yen. Though skeptical, she takes a chance on the self-proclaimed god.
After accidentally cutting Yato and manifesting as a weapon herself, Hiyori earns an invitation to join Yato as his new “Regalia.” He gives her the name “Yukine” – now a transforming blade wielded by Yato as he finally works towards his goal of having droves of believers pray in his name one day.
So begins quite the odd dynamic between an ambitious homeless god, righteous schoolgirl, and supernatural weapon-human hybrid. Together, this motley crew handles disputes between the living and dead while providing many hilarious and heartfelt moments!
