Adopté dès son plus jeune âge par un exorciste de renom, Rin apprend un jour qu'il est le fils du mal incarné quand son véritable père, Satan lui-même, apparaît pour l'emmener dans son monde. Mais impossible pour le jeune homme d'oublier tout ce qui lui a été enseigné jusqu'ici...

Blue Exorcist, Tome 17

青の祓魔師 [Ao no Futsumashi] #17

Shura Kirigakure has always been one of Rin and Yukio’s closest and most trusted friends and mentors, but her past is a mystery. When Shura suddenly goes missing, Mephisto sends the Okumura brothers to the cold and wintry backcountry of Aomori Prefecture to find her. The journey is a chance for Rin and Yukio to talk over recent events, and try to sort out where things stand between them. Out in the frozen hills, Shura reaches her destination, and a meeting with an entity who will impose an ancient curse upon her...

Blue Exorcist, Vol. 17

A mini arc focusing on Shura that also helps the twins to work on their communication with each other. You know, in one of the earlier volumes Kato said that while her readers tend to associated the series with summer due to the early arcs, she actually associates with winter. And you can really tell how much drama - and even joy and cosiness - she can find in a winter setting.

Also I assume she must be lurking around fanfiction on her series because who includes the twins being mistaken for partners (played off as a bit of a joke) and also a couple of instances of an-obvious-choice ships (where they are outright called out as inappropriate) in a couple of consecutive chapters - though, admittedly done not in a corny way. 

That being said, I enjoyed the scenes between Rin and Yukio, as well as between Shura and Father Fujimoto. They managed to showcase more of the love and respect each of those characters have for each other. But also, oh, a wink towards the twins' mother?
