Manga Review: Blue Exorcist

Welcome to the 2nd Edition of Kids Korner

I had my son (10 years old) do a review of this as he wanted to pick it up. It was something I had him do while out of school at the beginning of his vacation. He needs to read more and I thought this would be a fun way to get him involved.

Raised by Father Fujimoto, a famous exorcist, Rin Okumura never knew his real father. One day a fateful argument with Father Fujimoto forces Rin to face a terrible truth – the blood of the demon lord Satan runs in Rin’s veins! Rin swears to defeat Satan, but doing that means entering the mysterious True Cross Academy and becoming an exorcist himself. Can Rin fight demons and keep his infernal bloodline a secret? It won't be easy, especially when drawing his father’s sword releases the demonic power within him!
