I’ve watched the animated series based on this manga and it was freaking AWESOME! I love it!. I fell in love with the series after I read the above summary. I got hooked just by watching the first episode. Now it has been two days since I discovered this manga and I’m almost done watching all of the episodes. I’m a bit upset though due to the fact only 25 episodes were made. It would be nice if there were more episodes. Anyway, Blue Exorcist is great. Though I haven’t read the manga, I am sure it’s a great read. Kazue Kato, your story is a genius! I’m not a fan of animes but this story opened the door of its world. I LOVE IT!!!!
Delighted to hear you are enjoying this series. – thanks for letting us know! It’s great that you discovered something new to enjoy!
