Blue Exorcist





This is a series that I would recommend to anyone who wants a start into reading manga. It's about a set of twins, Rin and Yukio, who are the sons of Satan, adopted by a priest who raises them. They both go to exorcist school to learn more about them and learn how to fight them. The designs are easy to study and very nice to look at! I really like how the series has done so far - giving us character development, different ways to go about studying and even a little bit of explanations as to how certain demons have power over others. 

Rin is probably my favorite character by far because I see myself in him and understand where he's coming from. He's got a big heart and he's trying to understand why people don't see things as simple as he does. He also has a lot of power and needs to control it in his own way. What I do appreciate is that people don't believe in his dream and think he would be better off dead or used as a weapon for training other exorcists. It's not an overnight fix either - he sees the mistakes that are around them and he also knows that he needs to believe in the same people that are willing to help him out. 

While there are several arcs that happen throughout the main story, the story doesn't make the reader feel bored. The "filler" chapters still hold a significant part of the story and who the characters are. I have found myself easily binge reading the series because each book gives enough information to keep you guessing on what happened. When I had found out that there was a animated series about this... I might have also binged watched it a couple of times after schoolwork had been finished.
