Yato is a homeless god without a shrine or worshippers. In order to achieve his goals, he offers services for a fee to those in need. His ultimate aim is to accumulate enough money to build a luxurious temple. Despite taking various odd jobs, ranging from finding lost kittens to assisting students with bullies, Yato is open to any work to reach his aspirations.
Volume 2 – “Fortune Be With You“
Hiyori Iki, a middle school girl and pro-wrestling enthusiast, undergoes a transformation after encountering Yato, a stray god. She becomes something neither human nor ayakashi.

Additionally, the powerful warrior god Bishamonten seeks revenge against Yato, adding a new challenge to the situation.
Volume 3 – “Fighting The Blight“
After a close call with Bishamon, Yato retreats with Yukiné. Yato’s condition worsens due to blight, and Hiyori discovers him in critical condition.

The question arises: will Yato fix Hiyori, even if it means severing all ties with her?
Volume 5 – “Trouble in Paradise“
As Kugaha continues scheming against Bishamon, Yukine becomes concerned about his new friend Suzuha.

After concluding the battle with Bishamon, Yato faces the task of resolving lingering matters, including fulfilling his promise to Tenjin by cutting ties with Hiyori.

Yato’s free time comes to an end as he is confined to Takama-ga-hara, compelled to fulfill his father’s commands.

Angry over Yato’s release, the stray plots revenge against her rival.

The tension rises as the score becomes tied, and Daikoku steps forward, volunteering himself as a sacrifice.
