The series seems to be entering its second longer arc and it looks properly exciting, with quite a few exciting twists already in Volume 12. I like that overall the series gives a proper chance to less explored characters like Izumo to shine while also managing to successfully weave everyone into the main story.

"Ao no Exorcist" seems to have its best footing in arcs like these - where it actively moves the plot and the main mystery. While I enjoy the character building moments, this is truly its strongest suit. And there is nothing bad about doing both at the same time. 

(I also appreciate the narrative giving the group a roadtrip-ish moment.)

5/5 estrellas.

LO QUE FUE ÉSTO, POR FAVOR, ALTA TRAICIÓN.
No me lo esperaba, realmente no lo esperaba y quedé impactadísima.
Además, se nos suman nuevos demonios (¡Lucifer, omg!), y el pasado de Izumo. Si bien antes no la bancaba, ahora le tomé mucho cariño. Sos una cosita tan fuerte. Vos podés, vas a poder con todo ♥

In this manga we find out about the life of one of the members of the exwires. Also it goes deeper to a war that will soon start and what will Rin do? and what will become of the friendships of the group? This book is a must read so many new things coming to the blue exorcist series.

Very interesting development surrounding izumo and the illuminati. The pace is picking back up again and the story is getting me really engaged again!!
