Blue Exorcist, Vol. 1

As a stand-alone volume this is a decent opener and I personally am very fond of Kato’s style.Some might criticise Blue Exorcist as using lots of worn out tropes, but while it does have a lot in common with other manga, the tropes are well used. You may notice, even from the first few volumes, that Kato steers away from extended action sequences and pays more attention to world/myth building and character relationships.If you have a fondness for battles then this might not be for you but, as someone who likes fantasy and mystery novels, I found it all the more enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this. I originally bought it because I wanted to read the manga to see how it differed form the anime and also because the first season of the anime had an amazing ending then in season 2 they acted like the ending of season one never happened! I recommend this to everyone who loves manga and it won’t disappoint!

Like a lot of people I'd started watching the anime then decided to purchase the first three manga volumes and I'm glad I did. The artwork is lovely and easy to read, and A LOT happens within just one volume. Though exorcism is a very heavy topic Kazue Kato does it in a very easy to understand way throwing in lots of light hearted commentary along the way so everything isn't so heavy and dark all the time, which is one the the main things I love about this series. The characters are all incredibly likeable especially the main character Rin Okumura. I also love the little bonus comics at the end of the book and a little section on demons and the small character profiles are a delight. I definitely recommend this series to any anime or manga fan, I think once you start reading this you're definitely hooked.

Not bad condition

This is my first manga and its incredibly good! I would recomend buying!!!
