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 Without spoiling much, she is in for the fight of her life with a shinki that is centuries out of date and has a hateful agenda of her own.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.
