As a relatively obscure minor deity with no worshippers, Delivery God Yato accepts odd jobs for just five yen, aiming to accumulate enough wealth to purchase a shrine. However, beyond his lack of fame, he faces another issue: his Shinki, or weapon partner, has decided to resign, weary of accompanying a homeless god. Deprived of a weapon, Yato takes on additional jobs, hoping to secure a new partner soon. While posting fliers for a missing cat, Yato spots the animal and chases it, running directly into the path of an approaching vehicle. Hiyori Iki, a girl nearby, rushes to push Yato out of the way and injures herself in the process. After waking up in the hospital, she discovers that the incident has caused her soul to detach from her body. Realizing his actions led to this, Yato promises to help restore Hiyori to normal—for five yen, naturally. But to fix her condition, he needs a new Shinki, whom he finds in the rebellious spirit Yukine. Noragami tells the story of a girl walking the line between two worlds and a stray deity's quest for a place to call his own.
