[spoiler=SYPNOSIS] SYNOPSIS [from MyAnimeList]:
I wouldn't say the plot is original or unexpected. The story follows Hiyori when she meet Yato and eventually his new shinki, Yukine, But don't be fooled by the fact it is a shonen and a typical guy fights demons trope. Shonen mangas usually involves spirits and gods, and the master-weapon thing is a lot like Soul Eater. But when you think about it, it's not about what story you tell, it's about HOW you tell it.
The hysterical characters makes the story full of hilarious moments while its concept is still hard to grasp. Too bad that Hiyori isn't ass-kicking like I thought she would be, but I like her. Yato's character is very complicated, and at first I thought he will be another typical protagonist. However, he is smarter then most of the shonen lead characters, and I find his character very interesting. He may look like a naive and hysterical guy, but he have more deeper past than anyone in the serie. Yukine is also great. A lot of people dislike him, saying that he is annoying and useless. I liked the fact the he made a lot of mistakes, and also, he showed a kind and loyal side, and his character developed, and yet the Mangaka managed to keep his change realistic.
And as the story goes on, a lot of sub-plots will comes up and the manga series become more and more interesting. (BTW I'm on Ch 42)
