About Blue Exorcist

Assiah: the realm of humans. Gehenna: the realm of demons.

Normally, these two dimensions would never intersect, but having possessed all material substances, the

demons are now intruding on the material world. But among the human race, there are those who can

exorcise such demons – the Exorcists.

Based on the manga by Kazue Kato (published on Jump Square by Shueisha), Blue Exorcist

successfully depicts a hero, Rin Okumura, an energetic, yet naïve young man who aims to become the

ultimate exorcist. The manga has been made into animation in the hands of Japan’s acclaimed staff

including director Tensai Okamura (Wolf ’s Rain, Darker Than Black) and Animation Studio A-1 Pictures

(Sword Art Online, Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, Oreimo 2).
