Noragami had everything.

Charismatic MC.
Elite openings.
Strong manga boost after Season 1.

And then Season 3 just… never happened.

It’s been almost a decade.

I just made a whole breakdown video trying to understand how anime function as ads and profit engines, and how if growth stalls even slightly studios pivot to safer IP.

But knowing that doesn’t make it hurt less.

Because from a fan perspective, it feels like they were sitting on something massive.

Did Season 2 actually flop that badly?
Did the production committee lose faith?
Was it just not “scalable” enough?

I need business logic injected into my veins because emotionally this makes zero sense.

I think this will be the inside cover of the last Volume 27

Quick drawing of Hiyori doing that cat shadow thing I’ve been seeing going around on twitter :3 (with a little Yato camero)

Enjoy!

Art I did. Damn I miss this show

Well he smells nice because he's a God and all Gods and regalias smell nice. Else Yatori would have ended long before it started 🤷🏻‍♀️😂😂

So happy with the way this turned out! Yukine has solidly been my favorite character of all time ever since I was introduced to this series, so I was excited to have a part of him wherever I went ☺️☺️

Even though the answer might be obvious.
