These pages are really doing things to my brain. Not only does Hiiro/Mizuchi look significantly older in both, but the page composition is nearly identical. Even Hiki on the first page with Yato and Rekki’s vessel form behind Kazuma on the second. The bubble of Yato and Hiiro letting go of one another where the “Look, Father” speech bubble is…. Is painfully symbolic as well.

It’s fascinating to think about just how long she and Kazuma’s character arcs have been bound to one another…. long before the snake curse. It makes me think of how the first kanji in Kazuma’s name, 兆, means omen and in the chapter 13,兆し, (this is the Japanese title for the chapter and it happens to use the same first kanji as is used in Kazuma’s name), Nora is the character who takes front and center on the chapter title page.

“Our Sakura Tree” the fact that this statement has multiple meanings now but by far my favorite is how it represents both Yato’s regalia

This scene right here ! He’s hoping that Yukine’s sister will remember like how he’s reminded of Sakura!!!

I just realized that it’s been nearly a year since I’ve done a manga coloring?…oof depression’s a bitch

but hey!! Yato has his son back!!

This whole scene had me in tears 😭 its been so long

okay so this is to kick off the noragami appreciation week
