This year will be thirteen years since the beginning of the serialization of the manga written and illustrated by Adachitoka, Noragami. However, when the twenty-sixth compilation volume was released in Japan, it too it was announced that the work will end with the next volumescheduled for sometime this year if you look at the release schedule.

At the end, The hope of fans to see the third season of the Noragami anime adaptation could be buried when the original work is finished (mainly because an anime adaptation is done in order to promote the sales of the original work).
Adachitoka he started publishing the manga in the magazine Monthly Shōnen Magazine from the publisher kodansha in December 2010. The original manga went through various problems, such as a one-year break in serialization and no third season, which had a negative impact on sales.
The work inspired a twelve-episode anime adaptation by the studios Bonesled Kotarō Tamura and scripts written by Taku Iwasakipremiered in January 2014. The 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 their sequence.
