What Season 1 of Noragami
Yato is a minor deity who calls himself the God of Deliverance and dreams of millions of worshippers. Without a single shrine dedicated to his name, his goals are far from being achieved. He survives on odd jobs that pay five yen each, until his partner in arms gets fed up with his useless master and abandons him. Then Hiyori appears, a schoolgirl who saves a boy's life after an accident and begins to suffer out-of-body experiences. The season follows their relationship as Yato battles the Phantoms alongside Yukine, who shares his everyday life and starts to develop feelings for Hiyori. The war goddess Bishamon also complicates matters.
