Adachitoka Returns With New Manga Yadoya no Oinu-sama After Noragami’s Ending

Adachitoka is back, and pucha, that alone is enough to get manga fans moving. After closing the long journey of Noragami earlier this year, the creator has already locked in a fresh new series. This time, the spotlight goes to Yadoya no Oinu-sama, a manga that will begin serialization in Monthly Shounen Magazine on October 6. We love to see that kind of comeback energy. No descanso, pura chamba.

The announcement was shared on X, and yes, it instantly caught the attention of readers who have been waiting to see what Adachitoka would do next. After all, coming back after a beloved series ends is never a small step. It feels a bit like watching someone leave one mountain path and calmly walk into another one, with the mist still hanging in the air.

A new story begins for Adachitoka

Yadoya no Oinu-sama follows the everyday life of Kuromine Kasumi, a girl whose school trip takes a wild turn. She falls down a mountainside and ends up in a strange new world. There, she finds herself under the watch of a dog-like spirit. Asumadre, that setup already has a very curious charm.

The premise leans into the mysterious and the gentle at the same time. We are not talking about a loud entrance with swords flying in every direction. Instead, this one sounds more like opening the door to an old inn and realizing something magical has been sitting there the whole time, waiting for us.

The shadow and legacy of Noragami

Of course, any new Adachitoka manga will be measured against Noragami. That series began serialization in December 2010 in Monthly Shounen Magazine and built a strong following over the years with its action fantasy story. Its 27th and final volume was shipped in February 2024, bringing the manga to a close.

The numbers speak loudly too. Noragami has more than 8 million copies in circulation, which is no small feat. That kind of reach turns a title into something bigger than a simple hit. It becomes part of the routine of fandom, like that song we swear we will skip and then end up singing anyway. Mostro, honestly.

Noragami’s anime and English release

The manga also expanded far beyond the page. Bones adapted Noragami into two TV anime seasons, released in Winter 2014 and Fall 2015. The anime helped boost the series even more, bringing Yato and company to a wider audience.

On the international side, Funimation licensed both seasons and streamed them with English subtitles and dub. Meanwhile, Kodansha USA handled the manga in English and released the 27th and final volume in December 2024.

What makes this return exciting

There are a few reasons this new serialization feels special:

• It is Adachitoka’s first new manga since Noragami ended.
• The fantasy premise sounds intimate and strange in a good way.
• The dog-like spirit element gives the story a distinct identity from the start.
• It keeps Adachitoka in Monthly Shounen Magazine, which adds a nice sense of continuity.

We are curious, and we are not hiding it. A creator returning after a major work always brings a different kind of tension. There is excitement, a little fear, and that hopeful feeling that maybe lightning can strike twice. Or at least bark twice, since this time we have a noble dog in the center of the vibe. Sí pues, the joke was sitting there and we had to take it.

Mark October 6 on your calendar if you want to see how Yadoya no Oinu-sama opens its doors. If you have been following Adachitoka since Noragami, this is the moment to keep that energy alive and jump into the next world with them.
