As had been leaked earlier this year, it was finally
announced that the serialization of the manga written and illustrated by Adachitoka , Noragami , will reach
its conclusion with the chapter that will be published in the next
January 6, 2024 edition of the magazine. Monthly Shonen
Magazine.
According to the report, this final chapter will be 45 pages
long and will also include select color pages. Unfortunately, the
manga will not have a new chapter in December because the creative team will be
preparing for this final chapter .
In the end, fans' hopes of seeing a third season of the Noragami anime adaptation could be buried with the conclusion of the original work (mainly because an anime adaptation is made with the aim of promoting sales of the original work ).
Adachitoka began publishing the manga
in Kodansha 's Monthly
Shonen Magazine in December 2010. The original manga has gone through
various problems, such as a one-year break in serialization and the
non-existence of a third season, which ended up having a negative impact.
negatively to sales volume.
The work inspired a twelve-episode anime adaptation produced
by BONES studios , under the direction of Kotaro
Tamura and scripts written by Taku Iwasaki , released
in January 2014. A second season of thirteen episodes premiered in October
2015. It is worth mentioning that the adaptation took some creative
liberties by changing some events and the sequence of them.
Noragami Synopsis
As a relatively unknown minor deity, Yato takes odd jobs
for as little as five yen, with the goal of amassing a fortune large enough to
build a shrine in his honor. But in addition to the darkness, he has
another problem, his “Shinki” or comrade in arms has decided to resign, tired
of being with a homeless god. Without a gun, Yato takes on more jobs in
hopes of soon finding a new partner.
While putting up flyers to find a missing cat, Yato sees said cat and chases
it, just as he is about to be hit by a car, Hiyori Iki, a nearby girl, pushes
him out of the way and he ends up hurting himself. After waking up, Hiyori
discovers that the incident came from her soul leaving her body, so Yato
promises to return her to normal, for five yen, of course. But for this he
needs a new Shinki, and that's when he meets a rebellious spirit named Yukine.
