...until the status is completed. At that time, I'll at least read the ending. Lol.
Anyw I stopped at the beginning ark ( I guess )? The story is irritating, not only the main plot but Rin's friends too. The scene is kinda rough sometimes. Err- it's like- jumpy (?) Hmm...
Welp, our main protagonist friends is super annoying for me as well XD. I don't expect a good friendship me-you-forever-friends or something like that, but hecc 🙂)) *I feel like burn his friends into fire*
And that include Shiemi (or whatever she called) too. Only my opinion, oof! XD

Been reading this manga on an off since the beginning, mostly off after getting tired of the dragged out story and generic shonen tropes. Honestly this manga should have been wrapped up years ago but hey, cash cow right? I don't think it deserves the glowing reviews it gets but when you pander to the most common denominator of course you get flooded with equally generic knee jerk votes of "10/10 best manga evar!" from people who probably also think Starbucks makes the best coffee.
It's okay.

I think the characters are enjoyable (except for shiemi, because she strikes me as annoying; with her good girl attitude, stupidity, and ignoring rin when she finds out he's a demon) Rin is cool, he looks cool and I think hes the funniest character in the story. Although this manga is labeled as a comedy, it's not that funny. BUT it does make up for it with all the action scenes. The mangaka did a very good job on the illustrations. As for the plot it's pretty good . I really like this manga!!!!!
The only thing I hate about it is SHIEMI!!!! She's so annoying. She should just die in the story. Seriously like I wish she'd stop getting into trouble and wording everybody, and having those close up scenes when she talks about her feelings. GEEZ I really hope that there won't be ANY romance in this story.

At first, I was fine with the series. Once you get past the first few chapters, things really get rolling –Rin begins to learn about exorcism and meets his classmates, and there's Shiemi and Yukio. I like the overall relationship between Yukio and Rin – twin brothers who protect each other. The younger twin wants to protect his older brother who has inherited Satan’s power, and the older twin always protected the younger one ever since they were kids. Things were pretty cool with Shura too; a physically strong female character. I like that there is a reason for her to constantly go shirtless, but there seems to be a bit of a boob thing going on… The male characters did comment on her breast size and there was one comment of comparison between two female characters’ breasts… We’ve also got a weak girl who wants to gain confidence and be useful to others, and another girl who does have strength but has a sour attitude. I’d like to see more female characters to have a balance.
The character development disappoints me. An important aspect of this story is supposed to be friendship. But the worst is that Rin’s “friends” aren’t mature enough to accept him after they learn of his heritage. (What’s interesting is that Yukio is also technically Satan’s son, but he does not get any hate whatsoever.) I understand that lots of people fear Satan and have had their family members killed by him, but Rin is not responsible for any of that –there is an instant impulse to lump Rin and Satan together, which I find utterly irrational and unfair for the poor guy. All of a sudden, those “friends” fear and hate Rin even though he would never burst out and smack them. I thought friends were supposed to trust each other, but Kato doesn’t seem to believe so.
The story then babbles on to show different character arcs instead of resolving internal conflicts first. Kato likes to tell, not show. Kato would verbally spit out information instead of doing so subtly, or simply through actions. If the author slows down and resolves these conflicts first, there may be greater character and plot development. The religious chants feel pointless because they do not add to the story overall. The fighting scenes are not impressive –the author lacks creativity.
I’m disappointed in the potential this story failed to show. I would have given this story another chance if the characters were actually likable.

The story SHOULD be simple. Son of Satan learns of his secret heritage and decides to become an exorcist. Cue progressive build-up of power, allies and epic battle after epic battle... right?
It seems like that most of the time, but it never really happens. Instead, the story repeatedly changes focus to one of the side characters without warning and dedicates entire story arcs towards resolving their own secret heritages. Worse, the story repeatedly falls back onto the same exact 'secret legacy' trope.
Ancestor defeated a major demon in the past? Major demon comes back to life and has to be defeated. Again.
Ancestor failed to properly pass down the family secrets? Family secrets come back to bite the current generation in the ass.
Ancestor failed to maintain the family duties? Current generation has to suffer for their failures.

This series has potential, but that just means it's lacking and nowhere near a 10. Both the quality of the art and the characters reflect this point. For example, there are numerous times where you witness a character's personality being contradicted by their actions. Also, like others have already stated, the relationship between the two brothers is awkward, impractical, and detracts from the overall plot.

I really don't see how the main character failed to become a tamer. The series constantly shows his dominance over demons, yet he never takes the circle test to see what he will summon. To top it off, the son of Satan's familiar is a freaking cat that protected silk worms from being eaten by mice. How anticlimactic can a familiar freaking be?

Well, i havnt started reading this yet, but I actually have a question for it. The tag says it has romance. But is it one of those hinted ones, or the ones not involving the main character. But a romance that involves main character which is not just up in the air, but developed? I want to know as I have been searching for a good action manga with romance in it (not the echhi kind)

Boy who wants to be an exorcist, but is part demon himself.....hmmm sounds familiar. I could make a list of other similarities but I think I'll just sum it up on how this could possibly be a D.gray-man remake.
Not that I don't like it though, i'll still read it seems fun enough, yay for anti-heroes.
