Noragami Chapter 81

Well, yep, that chapter was pretty easy. Not much difficult text editing and most of the dialogue was pretty straightforward. Couple of notes at the bottom still, though.

I’ve also added the 4-koma gag comics from Volume 20 to the end of this chapter since I had them available at the time. I currently don’t have a scan of the bonus short from Shuuishuu Vol 2, so once I get that I may add it to the end of whatever chapter is coming out at that time, or may release it on its own (it’s only like 6 pages, though).

Page 5

I’m not really sure what the sound is that everyone is hearing. The “Kiiin” sound is generally used when a shinki transforms and represents a high-pitched ringing. The events of this page may be a literal “Act of God” that happens to keep shinki protected from hearing about the secret under normal circumstances. Like, sudden tinnitus.

Ah, jeez, THAT kid’s here. Let’s ditch this joint, everyone.

Have we seen Kazuma with his shirt off since he was sliced up by Bishamon? I’m assuming what that scar on his shoulder is from. Also, finally fanservice for the girls. I’ve seen enough Hiyori panty shots.

Okay, yes, I added the “Keep Calm” logo to Kazuma’s shirt, but it’s still essentially what was there before. Originally it was just text that said “Ochitsuke” (Calm Down).

Yato is acting out a bit from the story of the Jade/Moon Rabbit from Chinese mythology. In the myth, a rabbit, fox, and monkey were discussing charity when a hungry old man appeared. The monkey gathered fruit and nuts, the fox caught a fish, but the rabbit had no food to give, so instead it offered its own body as food. The rabbit’s act of charity then earned it immortalization on the face of the moon.

“Megane” means “glasses”. It’s the equivalent of calling someone “four-eyes”.

Comiket is “Comic Market”, a semi-annual comic convention for amateur manga artists.
