A battle is never just a battle in this series, but a full blown narrative web of characters and world building. Basically this whole volume can be summed up as Bishamon tries to kill Yato's dad, the heavens get mad at her for unsealing the Burier and choose to attack her while she pursues pops. I got to say, the heavens sure are an anxious bunch. The standout moments for me this volume were, Bishamon tenderly caring for the Burier as she marvels at the big wide world and all it's changes. Bisha drops a great little tidbit that the gods can only give, and it's humans that cultivate. I can't help but feel that all these notes on what the gods can do will rope right around to Yato's dad and his deal. Hiyori has an kick ass moment where she wrestles Yato's dad into submission. Yato chooses to betray the gods for Bisha and gets a cool fight with Takemikazuchi, Yuki starts listening to the Stray again and it would be nice if he'd just ignore her. Also, apparently Yato's dad is on the side of the gods (maybe). A lot is going on here, and the momentous nature of it all is a treat. I also have to say that the new gods introduced have some wicked cool designs.

This volume had an adorable cover. The inside is anything but adorable. Bishamon has procured the legendary blessed vessel who’s been locked away and ends up marked for death by the Heavens. She’s not going down without a fight. Without spoiling much, she is in for the fight of her life with a shinki that is centuries out of date and has a hateful agenda of her own. Kazuma and the rest of shinki are scrambling to save Bishamon. Yato also tries to save her while Hiyori takes on Yato’s father on her own. Worse the war god Takemikazuchi has Yato and Bishamon in his sights, wanting nothing more than the battle of his life.
I’m a little less than thrilled about a volume that’s nothing but fight scenes but at least it had plot to go with it and the art is beautiful as always.

Muchos conflictos. Yukine y Kazuma. Takemikazuchi y Yato. Bishamon y el hechicero. Y todos ellos entremezclándose e interfiriendo. Qué tensión. Y qué buen dibujo.

Amazing!
Yato looks so good in traditional god clothing! He should wear it all the time instead of that stupid tracksuit! *real feelings emerge* In all seriousness, the art in this volume was incredible! The actions scenes were gorgeous, fraught with tension and drama! I can’t wait to read volume 17!
