The second volume continues the story of Kyoshi Harai, the ultimate exorcist with debilitating social awkwardness. He’s working on his issues, sort of, by attending high school for the first time at 16. He’s making friends even.

Most of the volume is taken by Kyoshi attending a dangerous test for gaining a higher exorcism class. He’s more afraid of having to meet strangers there than the test, but to his relief, Sosuke Hitsugi from his class at the exorcism school is also attending. The other boy regards Kyoshi his greatest rival, but Kyoshi is oblivious of it. And the two are forced to team up for the test.

This was a great volume with a lot of action and new friends. Kyoshi is determined to protect everyone, even his rivals. And even Hitsugi turns out to be nicer than he wants to be. The ending promises exciting and dangerous times to come for Kyoshi. I’ll definitely read more.

I received a free copy from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.

Uuuuuh, im zweiten Band gab’s sehr viel Action! 🔥 Neben ein paar Dämonen ist der Fokus auf der Prüfung zum Grand Cross. Hier tauchen einige neue Charaktere auf, dabei sind auch ein paar ganz interessante, die im Verlauf denke ich auch wieder auftauchen werden, da bin ich schon gespannt! 😄 Es gab wieder einiges zum Schmunzeln, aber auch ein paar ernste Szenen waren dabei, bei denen man sehr mitgefiebert hat! Die einzelnen Personen wachsen einem immer mehr ans Herz und “Cook” fand ich super, haha 🐓 Bin jedenfalls sehr angetan von der Reihe und werd sie wohl auf deutsch weiterverfolgen, denn Egmont bringt sie aktuell auch bei uns raus.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kiyoshi has decided he wants to become a cross paladin, which is the highest rank you can be as an exorcist. So you know what that means?

EXAM /TEST ARC!!!

In this volume we are introduced to some new characters and their backstories, there’s even a chicken who barks? The comedy aspects of this manga work so well, I’m thoroughly enjoying this series!

Fun read

Classic shonen done right. The action, character writing, comedy and art are great. The story slowly progresses in this volume. Next one really kicks off the more serious stuff.

Toujours bien sympathique à lire, avec de beaux dessins. Cependant, l'examinateur en chef aurait dû réagir lorsque le vieux s'est fait battre par l'exorciste au poulet.
Techniquement il avait gagné il lui a sciemment menti pour le duper.

Always very nice to read, with beautiful drawings. However, the chief examiner should have reacted when the old man was beaten by the chicken exorcist.
technically he had won He knowingly lied to him to fool him.
