Exorcists, demons, and teenagers with insane abilities? Yes please 🙌🏻
This series has so much potential. You can feel it right from the first volume. The vibe, the pacing, everything just clicks. The art style is honestly so good too. You can clearly see the influences, but it still feels fresh. I love it. 🖤
I really enjoyed the 𝙢𝙞𝙭 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙤𝙧. The 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙮𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙘, but it 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙩𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙡𝙮, which makes it even better.
The story blends contemporary Japanese life (schools, cities, everyday society) with supernatural elements like demons and exorcists operating behind the scenes.
It’s a 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝙙𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙪𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙤𝙘𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙤𝙨 🙌🏻
Since this is the first volume, we meet a bunch of 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙨, 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙮𝙡𝙚𝙨. And Tenma Sasaki?? So cool. Like immediately a fave.🖤🖤🖤 Also really excited to see where the worldbuilding will lead us.
Not surprised at all that this is already getting hype from big names and Shonen Jump. It really feels like it could become something big.
Overall I had such a good time reading this and I’m really excited to see where it goes next. Such a strong start 🔥

Exorzisten, Dämonen und Teenager mit krassen Fähigkeiten? Ja bitte 🙌🏻
Diese Reihe hat so viel Potenzial. Das merkt man direkt schon im ersten Band. Die Atmosphäre, das Pacing, alles passt einfach. Auch der Artstyle ist echt stark. Man sieht die Einflüsse klar, aber es wirkt trotzdem frisch. Ich liebe es 🖤
Ich mochte besonders den 𝙈𝙞𝙭 𝙖𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙃𝙪𝙢𝙤𝙧. Die 𝙆ä𝙢𝙥𝙛𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙮𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙝 𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙩𝙞𝙜 𝙎𝙥𝙖ß, 𝙖𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙞𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙩 𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙗𝙨𝙩 𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙩 𝙯𝙪 𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙨𝙩, was es noch besser macht.
Die Geschichte spielt im modernen Japan, wo Dämonen existieren und Exorzisten quasi im Verborgenen gegen sie kämpfen. Der 𝙆𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙯𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙢 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙩𝙖𝙜 𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙡ö𝙩𝙯𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙖𝙪𝙛𝙩𝙖𝙪𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙢 𝙤𝙠𝙠𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙢 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙤𝙨 funktioniert hier richtig gut 🙌🏻

Es überrascht mich überhaupt nicht, dass die Reihe schon von großen Namen und Shonen Jump gehypt wird. Das fühlt sich wirklich nach etwas Großem an.
Insgesamt hatte ich richtig viel Spaß beim Lesen und bin sehr gespannt, wie es weitergeht. Ein sehr starker Start 🔥

Hoy os traigo la reseña de Kiyoshi el Exorcist, la primera entrega de este manga que empieza pisando fuerte. 👹🔥
¿Por dónde empezar? La estética de toda la obra es una maravilla. Todos los exorcistas tienen su propio estilo e incluso los demonios cuentan con una personalidad y una forma de vestir muy marcadas, cosa que me ha parecido un puntazo. Sí, hay ciertos clichés, pero eso no hace que la obra decaiga en ningún momento.
Desde las primeras páginas consigue sacarte una sonrisa porque no te ves venir muchas de las situaciones. Tiene muchísimo humor, rozando incluso lo absurdo, y me ha encantado. 😂
Kiyoshi me ha gustado mucho como protagonista, pero Jack Joe... se ha llevado mi corazón. ❤️ Cuando lo leáis entenderéis por qué. Además, ya tengo la sensación de que va a tener muchísima importancia en el futuro, aunque todavía no vea por dónde va a ir exactamente la historia.
Sin contaros mucho más, porque quiero que lo disfrutéis por vosotros mismos, os puedo decir que aquí vais a encontrar una buena dosis de humor (muy estilo One Piece), exorcismos, demonios, batallas y personajes de lo más carismáticos. ⚔️👹
¿Qué más se puede pedir?
Así que ya sabéis... no sé a qué estáis esperando.
¡Estoy deseando leer la continuación ya de ya!

Kiyoshi Harai is a 16-year-old exorcist who is the youngest to graduate from exorcist academy and as valedictorian. There's just one problem: he gets scared of demons.
Kiyoshi gets assigned to exorcise a demon. He puts on a tough exterior, but he's actually terrified. TBH, I didn't enjoy this story as much. I was expecting to find a hidden gem of sorts. It's been a while since a manga has impressed me.
There is a lot of humor in the manga. I didn't care for it. The only one I did like was:
How dare he do this to my classmates and my friends (pending)!!

I feel like I’m being pretty harsh on this one but I didn’t really have a good time reading Kiyoshi.
On one hand I like the art, I think it’s solid and I smiled because you can see pretty clearly how working with Eiichiro Oda was an influence on how Usui styles his characters. Kiyoshi would be right at home fighting side by side with Luffy.
When it comes to the character himself though Kiyoshi didn’t connect with me or rather how he’s presented. It felt like I was being told how to feel about him more often than being shown attributes of him and naturally empathizing with him and this carried over to the other characters introduced too. It made things feel hollow for me in my opinion and it doesn’t help that Kiyoshi is extremely powerful too because again were told these demon lords are bad motherfu/$3@s but Kiyoshi takes many of them down without even taking damage.
Even though the characters didn’t do much for me I think the plot is fine, it’s predictable but not bad. Things take a turn for the better towards the end but without the hook of the characters the impact of what goes down didn’t really phase me.
Overall I don’t think this one is for me so I won’t be picking up vol 2 but I wouldn’t discourage anyone from trying it.
More of a 2.5 out of 5 for me.

“‘You became an exorcist to protect other people. Dying to protect a demon would defeat that whole purpose…. You’re a failure as an exorcist. That said, someone who’d follow the rules instead of protecting their friends… Forget being a failure as an exorcist. They’d be a failure as a person.’”
So, I actually kind of like this????
The premise seemed kind of silly—a powerful but socially inept, shy and wimpy exorcist facing his (real and inner) demons. It sounds like an amalgamation of several series already out there—and, to be fair, it IS. I can’t deny that. But, this is also very charming?
I like that it riffs on “Soul Eater’s” aesthetics while incorporating story elements from “Blue Exorcist”. Some of the gothic imagery is reminiscent of many early 90’s manga as well (think “Vampire Knight” and “Nana”). This story very much celebrates those stylistic choices.
Kiyoshi, also, is unexpectedly compelling. He’s shy and awkward in young, teen boy kind of way—underscoring how this is also a coming of age story as much as it is an entertaining, supernatural shonen. Though he finds it difficult to speak to girls, there’s also no unnecessary fan service or objectification (so far) of female characters. I’d like to see more development of these characters but there’s nothing objectionable about their presence in this story (so far).
I’m definitely looking forward to more development of this world and the exorcist and demon forces that populate it and compose the central dichotomies—we get scraps in this first volume.
But, I’m very willing to give this series a chance~

Review of advance copy received from Edelweiss+
Kiyoshi Harai is 16 and a recent graduate of the exorcist academy. He’s insanely powerful, but the problem is, he’s terrified of demons, thanks to a childhood trauma. He also has social anxiety, which only shows on the inside. On the outside, he looks cool and glowering.
The first volume follows Kiyoshi from his first assignment to his first exorcism post in the boons, which he chooses because of his hero who works there. He gets over his fear of demons pretty fast, thanks to a fatherly demon he needs to banish who gives him encouragement. At his post, he enrolls to a high school and gets to work on his other anxieties.
This was a fun and fast-paced start to a series. Many demons were banished, but the line between good and bad people was blurry, and Kiyoshi made some unlikely friends too. Art was good. I’d read more.

What drew me to this manga was the premise -- the world's strongest exorcist is the most awkward one; someone who is afraid of fighting the demons he's sent to exorcise. However, within the first volume, Kiyoshi is still awkward, which I love, and the supporting characters are charming as well. Overall, I have a hard time seeing the direction this manga is going - it doesn't feel like it has enough momentum for a first volume.

Review of advance copy
Omggggg finally it's on Goodreads. This is one awesome shounen manga. It's been a while since I felt a desire to read a new shounen manga - something that would make the next gen especially after the disaster of an terribly plotted ending for JJK. I stumbled on this through a recommendation from the great Oda-sensei and he hasn't steered me wrong. Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi starts off with a bang. While the style is edgy, it's not just decoration. The worldbuilding is intriguing. And I like that the main character is powerful - strong but with plenty of space to grow and plenty of desire to exceed himself. I need to catch up on recent chapters as soon as I can.

“What’s scarier than some demon? Losing someone who matters to you”
At just sixteen years old Kiyoshi Harai is the strongest exorcist. He’s covered in tattoos and piercings, and on the surface he seems pretty badass. Sadly for Kiyoshi he’s a bit awkward, he’s very shy and badly just wants some friends. He’s been told to enroll in high school and enjoy his youth while he still can, will Kiyoshi be able to balance school life while also balancing being an exorcist?
THIS WAS SO GOOOOOD!!
Kiyoshi is so adorable, he must be protected at all costs.
The characters,art style,dialogue,atmosphere are just ahhhhhh *insert an image of me screaming*.

Come numero uno di una storia sugli esorcisti non è male, il suo protagonista è credibile e alcuni dei comprimari sembrano caratterizzati in maniera promettente, ma la vicenda iniziale si attesta sul racconto - e persino qualche scena - tra i più inflazionati del genere. Non ne continuerò la lettura, ma credo possa piacere a chi fosse incuriosito da temi simili, senza averne già letti altri. Parlando dei "competitor" ancora in corso, consiglio di orientarsi verso titoli come Blue exorcist.
2.5 arrotondato per difetto. Il motivo è che è una vicenda molto poco memorabile

De lo que he estado consumiendo últimamente de shonen la verdad es que Kiyoshi es el que más ameno se me ha hecho, aún siendo un cliché andante te hace reír y tiene panelazos y momentazos (al menos según yo) así que 100% la seguiré leyendo.
Y bueno me parece curioso que el autor sea ayudante de Oda porque si ha habido algunos momentos que me han recordado un poco a One Piece y hasta me ha hecho ilusión 😋

Kiyoshi is just an awkward cinnamon roll of a boy and I love it.
Yeah, he's a super powerful exorcist but honestly this is more of a coming-of-age story where Kiyoshi learns how to people. Also, he keeps befriending and protecting demons, which kind of makes him a failure as an exorcist but a successful human.
The artwork can be a but chaotic and hard to follow but I'm loving the vibes and will follow this series.
Thank you to NetGalley for the review copy.

Thank you, VIZ Media LLC and NetGalley for the chance to read and review this manga, it's been added to the 'please make into an anime' list! All opinions are my own!
THIS WAS GOOD!
Okay it give, Soul Eater, Blue Exorcist and a little of fire force.
It has the wacky element, the hint that it will destroy us later on with character arcs, backstory and plot twists and I'm sat and ready.

I actually got invested in Jack Joe & Nehan at the end I almost cried. Also I love the wholesome kind protagonist trope. Kiyoshi is a really good person to be following in this series. I’m always surprised when I enjoy a shonen manga so much because I never did as a kid. These series just grew on me as I got older.

La estética de los exorcistas está chulísima
El personaje principal (Kiyoshi) da mucho juego, y los secundarios que van apareciendo me encantan
Mención especial a Jack Joe🖤
Tiene batallas, humor, amistad, found family, rivalidad entre exorcistas…demonios amigos y otros no amigos. Me ha dado muy buenas vibras este primer tomo , me he reído mucho
Me encantaría verlo en anime

Lo he empezado con pocas esperanzas, porque los shônens de demonios no son mi rollo para nada (abandoné JJK muy pronto por desinterés), pero me ha entretenido y dirás que hay hasta algún pequeño demoniete que se hace tierno. Leeré con gusto el siguiente tomo cuando salga. Una sorpresa muy grata, vaya.

I was waiting for this manga to be added on goodreads and Now that it's finally on here, I finished vol 1 (after 1 year lol)
I like the art style and the characters are also good. This manga has potential.

A rocky start leads to a really fun shonen comedy series. Love the artwork, and the more cartoon style. Top it off with pretty solid pacing in the mid to later halves of the volume, and I thought this was a solid start.
Review of advance copy received from Publisher
The sense of humor in this is spot-on, and it works well with the throughline of Kiyoshi wanting to help anyone who needs it - human or demon.
