After finishing the first four volumes, I’m sad to say that I am thoroughly disappointed. I was so excited when I saw the volumes at my library and picked up the first four right away. I’ve heard enough about “Blue Exorcist” for a while now to get me interested in reading it. Overall: it's a tenner and Ao no Exorcist also lands in my favourites. It s fun to discover some references to other works/culture :-)

I liked the intertextuality of this manga - e.g. There are funny moments but also some melancholic. ah, you got to love him even though he does not participate in the events that much (for a certain reason, but no spoilers, sorry! :-) But Fujimoto Shirou - this is a masterpiece! it has been a long time since any character made such a positive impression on me. There is a clumsy yet charming female, diffrent background students and teachers from the true cross academy. The twin brothers, Rin and Yukio are like fire and ice and argue, but deeply care for each other. nothing particular to complain about, except Rin's design when he's in his demon form - k'man, he looks like he was drawn by a five-year-old :< generally: good, but not outstandingĬharacters are definitely a strong point of this manga.

Nothing to be ashamed of, although I seen more stunning mangas in my life. Someone from another review said that it is a kind of mixture of bleach and beezelbub - I would add Holy Talker as well. here, all the motifs (father dies, the protagonist grows up and wants to change, a great scheme, uber powers, demons and from chapter 9 or 10 even some boobs are there as well -)).īut it is not such a cliche that is expected. mainly because most of the mangas are almost the same.

It deserves a tenner, but I'm quite a persnickety person when it comes to the storyline. how many mangas are there in the religious/inquisitive/exorcist genres? dozens! but Ao no Exorcist really caught my attention :) there is something that breaks out of the another-exorcist-cliche manga scheme When I stumbled upon this manga on OM, I honestly didn't expect much of it. I'll recommended this manga to anyone and everyone! I can only hope that more people will be willing to read this story and enjoy it as much as I have!Īo no Exorcist is easily on my top 3 favorite mangas! There isn't too much I can say about the actual story without spoiling things in this story. It's also not just pointless fighting, there's a great plot with it that keeps you on edge and waiting for the next chapter! With some series, there's too much detail that it's hard to tell who's attacking or who is who! It's not that ANE's art is plain and without action, the fights are well drawn and have just enough detail to see the movements and fights clearly.Įnjoyment for me is clearly a 10, as I mentioned, it has some really awesome fights and although it's not on the genres, this manga does have some comedy in it. The art of this manga reminds me a lot of Soul Eater's art, and what I love about it is that you can tell what is going on. The art I gave a 10, but of course it's personal preference of mine. Is what makes this story the most interesting! Even with only a few chapters out so far, you are wanting to read more about how the future will be for these teens that have gotten themselves into possibly more than they thought. Rin has issues with his powers and keeping himself from being discovered by the other exorcists. And not just any demon, he's the son of satan. Except, in this case, the main character, Rin, is both a demon AND an exorcist. As the summary says, it's a story about demons and exorcists. How is this manga NOT on the top ten most popular mangas! Normally with mangas, I have a few negative comments to say about it, such as the character development or the lingering plots that never seem to end, but I have nothing bad to say about Ao no Exorcist.
