Kodansha Comics is releasing Adachitoka's original manga in English as well as the Noragami: Stray Stories manga.

The anime's second season Noragami Aragoto premiered on October 2, and Funimation is also streaming that series as it airs.
The limited editions of the 10th and 11th volumes of the manga each bundled an anime DVD when they shipped in February 2014 and July 2014, respectively. The limited editions of the 15th and 16th volumes are also bundling anime DVDs. The 15th volume shipped on Tuesday and the 16th volume will ship in March 2016.
