Blue Exorcist -

The Blue Exorcist manga (published in Jump Square ) is monthly, meaning each chapter is dense with plot. There are no "side quest" arcs. Every story beat builds toward the final confrontation with Satan.

Blue Exorcist explores a number of themes and symbolism throughout its story. One of the primary themes of the series is the struggle between good and evil, as Rin and his friends battle against powerful demons and other supernatural threats.
