In the late Edo Period, a demon known as the Impure King killed thousands of people. After defeating the demon, the Knights of the True Cross kept its left eye safely sealed away on Academy grounds—but now someone has stolen it! Hearing the thief has taken a child hostage, Yukio and Rin go to help. The investigation and pursuit will lead Rin and his friends to Kyoto and involve them even deeper in a sinister plot! But will his friends’ knowledge that Rin is the son of Satan drive a wedge between them?

青の祓魔師 [Ao no Futsumashi] #5

A little bit more of an expansion of the world of the series in this one, with a little bit more background being given to the remainder of the cast.

You know, it is probably nostalgia talking but I feel pretty cosy in the world of the series. Yeah, it is demon infested and some of it is gross but it is generally a little whacky which makes for a more fun reading experience. Because of this the series may come off as a little naïve at times but I do not think it is necessarily to its detriment, especially if it is being read for entertainment.

I also like the foreshadowing they are doing with Yukio. A little bit cliché writing but serves the series well.
