Good read came on time

I love blue exorcist!!! Beautiful art work. I highly recommend this series to any manga fans.

Great manga

This series just keeps on giving!

Things are not looking good for humanity as demons are on the loose and visible! People are encouraged to stay home. In case of trouble, they should contact their local police, or the knights of the True Cross. Shiemi finally awakens, and Kamiki fills her in on what is happening. When she asks about Rin, Kamiki thinks Sir Pheles has him in custody. But their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of members of the Grigori, who have come to take Shiemi with them! What is going on here?Mephisto tells Rin he must handle the current situation so Rin has to journey to the past alone, with the aid of a key he gives him, a master key known as the kamikakushi key. He gives Rin a special patrol uniform and sends him on his way, telling him that if he wants to move forward, he has to accept reality for what it is and accept his past. Meanwhile, Yukio is taken to a meeting with Lucifer where he is introduced to Lucifer’s younger brother, Egyn, King of Water, and Amaimon questions Mephisto about things he should have noticed before.Rin travels to the past and meets up with Mephisto, who looks just the same as in the future, and sees the young man who will one day be Father Fujimoto. And he sees his mother, Yuri, as well. He follows their story as they move from living on the streets to being accepted into the Cram School, and their journey to becoming exorcists. Rin learns about Section 13 and the cloning program to find a suitable vessel for Lucifer, but there’s still a lot to learn about their pasts.Things are not looking good for humanity. Can the Knights and the Grigori handle this influx of demons? Will Lucifer take control of Assiah too? I suspect Mephisto has something up his proverbial sleeve, and he is putting wheels into motion through his machinations. Although I sometimes wonder whose side he is on, I do believe he has Assiah’s interests at heart, even if he is a demon. He’s the perfect example of appearances can be deceiving!Rin’s trip through time is not only very interesting but rather enlightening, as well. Before he became a priest, Shiro was not particularly nice, and a far cry from what he later became. We know he’s going to change into the more kindly but still outspoken and somewhat rough priest, but watching the transformation is fascinating. We also know the journey ends for Yuri after she gives birth to Yukio and Rin, but it’s nice to see what she was like before that, before her involvement with Satan, and what led to it. My biggest questions after reading this volume are: why the heck does Yuri remind me so much of Shiemi? And where did they take Shiemi, and why? She almost confessed to Kamiki about who she likes, until interrupted by the Grigori. Is it Rin? Is it Yukio? Or is it a player we’re unaware of yet? I like seeing the friendship between Shiemi and Kamiki deep and solidify. They both need friends, especially Kamiki.We didn’t see much of Yukio this time, and I’m still stumped as to what’s going on with him and his motives for being where he is. Is he coming to grips with the fact that he’s also part demon or does he have another agenda? I find it hard to believe he never suspected, since he and Rin are twins and have the same parents, that he had demonic power of some sort. Guess we’ll have have to wait and see.Another solid volume of Blue Exorcist, can’t wait to read more!

~4 StarsYukio is off on a new adventure, and Shiemi's secrets are starting to be revealed. But all of that is left behind as Rin gets to confront his past, and thus see what happened with his mother.Yukio is so stuck on being alone and wondering about the past, that he's spiraling and is forcing himself away from all of his friends and his brother. So of course, Rin needs to confront the past that he didn't think he wanted anything to do with. It actually makes sense, really.We're also getting to connect some dots here. We're discovering what led to Rin and Yukio, and we're discovering what Lucifer is actually up to underneath all of this, as well.Slow releases, of course, and this series can be rather complicated—but it feels like we're finally starting to get some answers to this mess that's happened.(A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!)

This was a fantastic read! There wasn't much story in this volume but oh boy do you learn a lot about Father Fujimoto! I was disappointed when it was over because I want to learn even more about what happened to him!

Great volume as always.

Me gusta mucho la trama, respecto a la calidad no me puedo quejar, todos los volúmenes que he comprado por amazon han llegado en excelente estado, sumando a eso que lo encontre en un súper precio

Incluye los capítulos 99 a 103. Comienza el flashback que cuenta la historia de Shiro Fujimoto y por tanto el origen de los hermanos Okumura. Te deja con ganas de leer el tomo 23.

Capítulo cheio de descobertas!
