From the ancient times, it is believed in Japan that there are numerous number of gods, so-called Yaorozu gods, or 8 million gods. The main character, Yato, is one of them, though his rank as a god is way in the bottom. Therefore, he doesn't have a temple, which normally every god has. He undertakes wide variety of jobs, from searching for a missing cat to plumbing, believing someday he will achieve his own shrine and believers. Still, he is a god, so he also does a job of fulfilling peoples′wishes. In doing so, he sometimes fight against Aayakashi, or monsters, with his weapon called Jinki, meaning god′s weapon.
Hiyori Iki, the heroine, got in the habit of easily having out-of-body experiences after having a traffic accident when Yato was searching for a missing cat. For curing the habitude, she got involved with Yato, and thus began to get involved with various cases.
The gods appearing in this story are all humanly and interesting. Yato wears a jersey and lives a non stable life as a part time worker, and the so called god of academics SUGAWARA no Michizane has such an appearance at that time and the representative of the franchise company that grouped Tenjin-sama. One of the seven gods, Bishamonten is dressed up like the SM club queen.
The story mainly depicts the fight against the Ayakashi who erodes the human heart, but it is not necessarily the heart of it, and the philosophy of the respective characters on "life" and "death" is depicted quite seriously. I think and wonder if this work can be describe with one word, "survive". In terms of feeling , I feel like there is something that leads to Tsutomu Takahashi 's "Sky High".
The TV anime is currently being broadcast and original comic has been continued. The TV series has just begun, but I think it will reflect a similar atmosphere on the screen no less than the original. You definitely need to see it.
