Two new illustrations have been revealed in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Noragami TV anime series.
The first new visual is an updated version of the one that was first released last July, which features the addition of five side characters. The second visual is a new illustration drawn by series creator Adachitoka.
The anime is celebrating its 10th anniversary with various projects in the works. Some of them include a new Blu-ray box set and free distribution of the series on YouTube in Japan.
The original supernatural action manga series ran in Kodansha’s Monthly Shonen Magazine from December 6, 2010 to January 6, 2024. Twenty-seven tankobon volumes were released during its publication. The series also inspired the Noragami: Stray Stories side story manga, which were released across three tankobon volumes. Kodansha USA publishes both titles in English for release in North America.
The manga inspired two anime seasons from Bones, which were directed by Josee, the Tiger and the Fish‘s Kotaro Tamura with character designs from Toshihiro Kawamoto (Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond, Metallic Rouge) that aired in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Crunchyroll is currently streaming the anime series.
Kodansha USA released the manga under the title Noragami: Stray God, and describes the main synopsis as:
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.
