As the True Cross Academy festival reaches its peak, trouble is brewing. While Izumo confronts Nemu Takara, Rin and the rest of the Exwires race to find her. The betrayal they discover and the tragic details of Izumo’s past will shake them to the core and herald the beginning of an all-out war between the Illuminati and the Knights of the True Cross!

青の祓魔師 [Ao no Futsumashi]  #12

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.)

Alors que Rin est de retour sur les bancs de l’Académie de la Croix-Vraie, à l’autre bout du monde, le Saint Paladin est sollicité pour combattre la Fujô-ki, la "Princesse Putride". Cette résurrection signifie que le Fujô-ô n’était que le prémisse d’un danger bien plus grand : d’autres entités tout aussi maléfiques menacent de revenir sous l’impulsion de ceux que l’on nomme les "mangeurs de démon"... C’est dans ce contexte alarmant que Méphisto convie Rin à dîner en sa demeure pour lui confier une mission spéciale...
