*wipes hands* Welp, there you have it. It's done. Chapter is translated and in the wild. Thanks to everyone who's kept up with the series until the end!

Couple translation notes at the bottom.

Translation notes:

Page 20:

"Houki" (砲器) is a new shinki for Bishamon. Their name literally just means "cannon". Also, I don't remember Bishamon losing an arm and a leg since she seemed to still have all her limbs the last time we saw her, so I assume that's just the effect of the shinki glamor? Not sure what the "human" reading for 砲 would be, possibly "Nuiha" or "Zutsuha".

Page 25:

Teke-teke is an urban legend about the vengeful spirit of a girl who was hit by a train and cut in half at the waist, who drags herself around and kills people. There was a movie released in 2009 in Japan based on it.

Page 37:

A lot of the text on the signboard is unreadable, but the gist seems to be they're looking for a woman who knocked over a baby stroller on 7/10 (so since the final page says it's currently April, it's been a while). There's a jar of dead flowers next to the sign, so it's possible the ayakashi is the spirit of the baby, much like the spirit of the girl Yukine found early in the series.

Noragami Reread Volume 1-3

I am so very late because I'm doing a million things but I will be done for the next chapter. Anyway this is my first reread so it's been fun seeing all the foreshadowing!

Chapter 1

Yato being so full of hope doing the job and his original top of the nation dream vs where we are currently is upsidedownsmileyface

Ass comment counter: 1

Yato really is the coldest bitch this girl is crying and being hunted by ayakashi and he's like oh no anyway

'Curses and blessings are two sides of the same coin' vomiting at the future plaque foreshadowing!

Yato has a little praise kink going on and it's valid

Yato's reaction to people who wants to commit suicide when we later find out he has seen Sakura's death and later on Yukine's is just

Chapter 2

Penis comment: 1

Yatori meeting oh god here we go

'I think forming ties with you is just gonna cause problems' AHA!

Yato sees her kick the shit out of a ayakashi and would like to have her as a shinki well I got a surprise for you!!!!

Chapter 3

'This could be kinds fun' proceeds to be not fun for ## chapters

We found Yukine right there

The sister foreshadowing is so heavy 10 years in advance of getting Yukine's story

Yukine spent 30 years drifting and has the right reaction to bring told to devote himself to a sweaty god

He straight up takes Hiyori's stuff lol

Hiyori death forshadowing tracker: 1

Chapter 4

Yukine saying he'll die from parental neglect WELL

Yato and Hiyori having different views on suicidal people until she realises why shinki are shinki and yh

Hiyori death forshadowing: 2

Chapter 5

Yukine conman but he's valid

Hiyori's soul is rather transparent in the legs sometimes

'Why don't you try dying for once' WELL

Yukine's fear of the dark forshadowing

Little girl shinki is so sad I forgot about that

It looks like soil being poured on Yukine AHA

Sister foreshadowing again

Hiyori death forshadowing tracker: 3

Chapter 6

Yukine is such a bastard this chapter

Hiyori liking Yato's smell jahdhb

Biggest plottwist is Yato saying Kofuku is his girlfriend 0.1 second before getting punted by her real man

Daikoku really softens up in appearance as we get to know him, he looks like mafia boss

'He's got a thing for kids' had me choking I forgot about that

Yato's backstory is so well written to foreshadow so much we see in the future whilst running alongside the rest of the plots

Yato and Yukine height difference hdhd

Bishamon's introduction mommy sorry

Chapter 7

'The justice of this world is putting evil to death' foreshadowing for Father in the future

I love men being accessories to powerful women

Kazuma's debt to Yato and knowing what's coming hhdjb

The art has always been beautiful and the character designs improve compared to other mangas early days

Chapter 8

Meeting Nora for the first time and she seems quite chill considering what she does later

Interesting how Yukine asks 'why does this always happen to me' when it's his first time as a shinki, shows he's used to bad luck

Daifuku has a car and we just never see it again (it probably blew up)

Yukine's trousers being too short in the leg

'I found him and I named him' Yato not releasing him no matter how badly Yukine behaves because he knows what he went through

Chapter 9

Hiyori thinking Kazuma is going to kill her when he's the most pathetic man alive

Hiyori meets the girl who killed Bishamon’s shinki. Meets Kazuma, another of Bishamon’s shinki, and notes Yato killed his friend. Brings up the dead shinki. Shocked Piikachu face when he gets mad

Yukine is so baby face this chapter

Nora meets Hiyori and it's on sight for knowing Yato

Chapter 10

Yato gives Manabu a knife and is like fuck 'em up ig

Yukine just wants to be a kid!!!!

'One is enough, just find that one irreplaceable someone' I'm eating glass!!!!

'I wish I had one myself' EATING GLASS!!!!!

'What you really want is something you can no longer have and you've finally figured that out' Oh god oh man

Yukine is just a baby

Hiyori saving Yato's ass again and hauling him to Kofuku’s

Chapter 11

Despite all the hate she gave Yato, Mayu still volunteers to absolve Yukine

Hiyori really shows up on the war gods front garden yelling for her simp without hesitation

Yato refusing to release Yukine and at this point teb years ago we're like babe just do it

Yukine really has no luck transforming into all sorts of monsters in this manga

'It was just like something a father would say' GLASS!!

Daikoku is so daddy this volume wait what

Yato says Sekki has talent as if he isn't the biggest soft touch who wouldn't let that daddy issue child go

Trios first hug oh I'm so sad Adachitoka you make me so sad will they hug again

[kouchan-scribbles]

HAHA pain.

Funny story- the only reason I originally read/watched VNC is because I saw a Vanitas edit on Tik Tok and thought it was Yato💀 and to this day I genuinely cannot tell them apart 80% of the time

Yato Vanitas

Best boys 💗

Even in a few manga official arts they fucked yo his skintone for what 😭like mans was fully gray/green in that one pandora hearts crossover and every white character looked normal🤨

I'm gonna go to jail one day for killing people that whitewash noé

Someone take Picsart away from me fr- I’m not at all a fan of their canon interactions bc neither of them understand consent and it’s kinda a dumpster fire tbh- but the versions of them in my head, I basically rewrote their entire character as per usual with my peabrain- they have a very malewife girlboss relationship, that’s actually consentual💀 I’m a firm believer in them being raging bisexuals but also acespec Vanitas>>>>

“Where am I now?”

[kouchan-scribbles]

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP- its always a day to be a Yukine kinnie....maybe not a good day, but certainly a day.

After this arc, Yato buys an ungodly amount of dad shirts

Renga oneshot

Heliophilia: love of the sun

Summary: renga snuggles, autistic Langa, they’re trying their best at communicating but its a process and Reki is bad at feelings yet again

Word count: 1566

Warnings: Joe jokes about sex but nothing actually happens -reminder they're minors- brief references to Adam assaulting Langa, Langa has an autistic meltdown/overstims (writer is autistic) I wrote these like 6 months apart with a fever so it may be incoherent at points. 

“Remind me again why you’re on my counter using up the entire first aid kit again?” Joe sighs.

I wince as he pats my scraped knee, now carefully disinfected and wrapped with gauze. “You could spare me at least a little sympathy-“ I say as I fidget with the fresh bandaids on my fingers.

“Kid- how did you manage to get this hurt when you weren’t even at S? You guys should be in school right now anyways.“

“I got uh- distracted on the way home. Langa and I skipped our last 2 classes again, sorry…”

“Distracted? Do I wanna hear this or do you just want me to buy you kids some stuff?” He chuckles, crossing his arms and leaning back on the counter beside me.

I shudder in embarrassment “shaddap- I’m fine. Langas just….. LANGA-“ … I’m really not making the best case for myself here, huh?

“Ok ok, seriously though Reki, if you need anything just ask. You kids are stupid as hell and you’re young and bound to make dumb mistakes so I at least want you to be safe okay?”

“IT WASNT LIKE THAT DUDE! I just you know…. He doesn’t really do PDA and you know how he is- he never talks-“ I look up at Joe pitifully only to be startled by the eye contact and return my gaze to my hands.

“I want to be more like a real couple- like you and Cherry- I just- I know Adam like got all up in his face and was hella creepy and he told me he like- touched him and made him super uncomfortable-and the LAST thing I want to do is remind him of that or hurt or scare him…” curse my eyes for daring to tear up.

“Hey, I get how you feel. Kaoru’s pretty much the same, he’d throw Carla in the blender before he’d admit he’s having a human emotion.”

“That bad?”

“Oh yeah- trust me. Honestly you just need to talk stuff out with Langa about boundaries and communication. He’s the type that you need to ask directly if you want him to tell you something right? You need to talk to him like an adult okay?”

“Aaaarrghhhhh adultings so haaaarrdd” I slump off the counter to my feet. “do I have to” I say, pouting.

“Yes now shoo so I can prep for the dinner rush ya dork”Joe laughs ushering me out of the kitchen through the bar door.

I guess I’m going to Langa’s place then-

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

~Reki pressed his face into my shoulder as I smoothed my hands over his back, my own back resting on my bed. His sweater was worn and pilled, allowing me to occupy my hands with plucking each pill from the softened cloth as the sound of kitten-like breaths from him filled my ears. I was near a sleep-like state when I heard unintelligible mumbling from Reki, alerting me that he had stirred.

“Hey sunshine” I chuckled as he perked up to look at me head on, giving me the opportunity to lose myself in his crisp golden eyes, contrasting with the blue LEDs he'd helped me install in my room just a few weeks ago.

“Hey” Reki laughed earnestly as he rolled to lay on top of me fully. “Can I kiss you?” He chimed in again as I nodded, not missing a beat. “Like, KISS kiss you?” He’s so pretty when he gets flustered like this, his face is even redder than his hair. And I thought he couldn't get more lovely.

“Please?” I raise my neck to meet him halfway and wrap my arms around his shoulders and tuck my hands under his hood near the nape of his neck.

He's so warm-

This feels so nice, everything with Reki is amazing…

No, REKI is amazing.

He pulls himself closer to me as we kiss and I grow light headed. I'm always shocked that he tastes like raw sugarcane and honey, nearly too sweet but just enough to be intoxicating and addictive. I'm not quite sure where my hands have moved but his are heated enough to be felt through my shirt as he slides his palms up my chest.

“This is so perfect” I think to myself before he glides his fingers to the bottom hem of my shirt. My breath hitches and my lungs cease to function.

It's hot, not in the way everything was before, a bright warmth that filled my chest and melted my heart as if I'd become the happiest man alive instantaneously- no this was different, painful even. An excruciating heat that scalded my skin and burnt my flesh to ash. I couldn't move, speak, breath or even think, I just knew-

I don't like this anymore-

I could feel my heartbeat pounding in my head louder and louder drowning out any thoughts I could've had or sounds could've heard. My chest growing ever tenser and my arms shaking with my hands trapped in a tight fist, jagged chewed nails digging sharply into my palms as I repeatedly slam them to my chest and in the pillows below me  trying to stop the suffocating sensations.

At some point Reki had gotten off of me and was frantically asking if I was okay. Everything he was saying was muffled, grainy and distant as if I were about to faint.

“Langa! Langa baby are you okay? Did I hurt you? I'm so sorry please just tell me what's wrong-”

It was hazy but I could recognize his worry and shakily put my hand in his and he stopped talking. 

I don't want to be the reason he stopped his ramblings, I love his voice.

“Langa sweetie are you okay?” He spoke more slowly but the concern was clear and genuine.

I blinked as I slowly processed his words before nodding, reaching out after him when he retracted his hand, not knowing if I wanted to be touched.

“Do you want me to hold you? We don't have to stay here, I can leave or sit on the floor or something-” I cut him off by again grasping and squeezing his hand.

“St-stay please…. I- I don't like being alone, sorry-” I lean towards him, my gaze never leaving my own lap.

“Okay, whatever you want. Just say the word.” Rekis breath evened out knowing I was okay, I've never felt so loved in my life.

I tugged his hand under my chin so I could sniff his sweater, smelling like an over saturation of everything Reki, from him hardly doing laundry, to the slight saltiness of his sweat, to the “girls” deodorant he's so fond of using, smelling like berries and spice, nearly reminiscent of the christmas car scents my dad had used year round.

He had apparently started stroking my hair and delicately working out the small tangles that had formed. I must've fallen asleep after that because the next conscious thought was that the room was significantly more blue as the sunlight that was previously streaming through the curtains had vanished.

When I looked up I was again greeted with that beautiful golden brown. “Mornin sleepyhead” he giggled, my favorite sight.

“morning- “ I smiled as I nuzzled my cheek into his hand that was still resting under my chin.

“Baby I love you but my hands asleep, can I have that back now?” he continued laughing lightly.

I Grabbed his hand with both of mine “nope It's mine now” I huffed as he feigned defeat only to swing his other arm gently around me before going still.

“So uhh,” his mood shifted. “Do you want to talk about it? Like I totally get it if not but I just want to make sure I don't hurt you or make you uncomfortable or anything because I really love you and that's the last thing I-”

“Reki- It's okay. It's not your fault. I really love you too and I trust you more than anyone else it's not that, I just- It's a lot, You know? Like it's not that I don't want to like- do more physical stuff with you I just don't think I really can, it's just too much I guess, I don't really know.” I averted my eyes from his and pulled my hands away from him. “Sorry-”

“Please don't be sorry! I don't really understand but I want to make you happy. And it makes me really happy that you trust me so much and that you told me, I'd be crushed if I hurt you- That's really all I want from you Langa, honest. If even just normal kissing or anything makes makes you feel bad or scared, I don't mind waiting until you're ready even if that's in 20 years or even never, It's not why I love you and you deserve to be loved more than I can even offer!” Reki held out his hands for me to take.

“I-” my eyes watered ever so slightly at his words, “You're such a dork Reki” I smiled as I met his gorgeous eyes again before sliding back his headband and pecking his forehead. “I love you too”
