A solid edition to this series!! I've really missed these characters and this story so it was great to come back and read volume 16!
I adore our new character Lightening and am interest to see how he develops through out his series. Yukio's story is really different right now and is absolutely captivating me. Rin and Shiemi have developed so much as characters and I'm excited to see how much more they will grow in the next volumes.

(Este volumen consta de los capítulos del manga que van del 68 al 73, ambos incluidos).
Estoy haciendo una cosa un poco rara con este manga, pero es así como me ha surgido releerlo.
En los últimos días de junio, leí los últimos tomos publicados en español de “Blue Exorcist”, los que van del 23 al 28, ambos inclusive. Y ahora he retrocedido para leer el manga desde su tomo 16 hasta el 22. he escogido el 16, porque es a partir de este que la serie está en formato anime, de hecho el primer capítulo del volumen es el último que está animado. Y así refresco la trama en vistas al estreno de la próxima temporada durante este otoño.
Rin, Yukio y sus amigos regresan sanos y salvos tras salvar a Izumo en Inari, y poco a poco vuelven a la rutina escolar. Pero el mundo está moviéndose a su alrededor sin frenos. Los Ilumniati son cada vez más una amenaza para la Orden de la Vera Cruz y el mundo, por lo que la primera debe empezar a contraatacar y a investigar al enemigo. Por su parte, Yukio sigue obsesionado por lo que pasa con su ojo izquierdo y las palabras de Todoh y Lucifer. Y eso le llevará a tomar por su cuenta y riesgo un peligroso camino que le empezara a alejar de todos, incluso de Rin.
Éste tomo puede considerarse una suerte de entreacto entre arco y arco, algo que es típico en esta historia. Es curioso que el arco del secuestro de Izumo empezara con algo tan típicamente japonés como un festival escolar, y se cierre con otra escena también muy típica de la cultura y los mangas japoneses, que tiene lugar en un Onsen o baños termales. Me ha hecho mucha gracia ver qué en cierto modo en el anime han censurado esta parte, ya que en lugar de ambientar esas escenas en el Onsen lo han hecho en un parque de atracciones acuático, por lo que los personajes no estaban desnudos, sino en bañador o en bikini. De todas formas, la esencia sigue ahí, a modo de alivio cómico entre capítulos.
Porque yo os he dicho que este tomo hace las veces de puente entre arcos. Pero aún así en sus capítulos se nos van dando pistas de hacia donde se va dirigiendo esta historia y de que algo gordo, muy gordo se está cociendo . Es cierto que este tomo es más ligero que los anteriores, pero eso no quiere decir que en él haya ciertas dosis de tensión e intriga, que hacen que tenga su importancia para lo que pueda venir en el manga.
La Orden se enfrenta a su mayor peligro en siglos. A la amenaza de los Illuminati hay que sumar otra, y es que el mundo se convierta en “un remedo bosquiano del infierno” (si, me gusto esta frase. Las mejores de este manga siempre salen de la boca de Mephisto xd). Como cada vez hay más demonios pululando por el mundo y encargos, la orden tiene que adelantar los exámenes a exorcista. Y a la rama japonesa se une un nuevo personaje interesante, que ya iba apuntando maneras desde hacía varios capítulos, Lewin Light, alias Lighting. En este tomo podemos ver más desarrollado a este personaje, especialmente por la relación que acaba estableciendo con Suguro. Y es que nuestro Bon, palabras textuales, se ha prendado de las habilidades y capacidades de Lighting
Y de todo lo que puede enseñarle, por lo que no para hasta que le acepta como su asistente y discípulo. Es muy interesante el contraste que hay entre estos dos y las interacciones que vamos viendo entre ellos a lo largo de la presente obra, dan mucho juego y sirven para desarrollar a ambos personajes que tan bien contrastan él uno con el otro. Si mal no recuerdo, nos regalan varios momentos y escenas memorables que estoy deseando refrescar.
Por su parte, Yukio, está cada vez más cerrado en si mismo y obsesionado por hacer y descubrir las cosas por su cuenta y riesgo. Incluso aunque eso suponga poner sin duda su vida en peligro. Desde este arco de Kioto, este personaje ha empezado un peregrinaje muy oscuro, y en este tomo podemos ver hasta qué punto está dispuesto a llegar y su autoaislamiento. Aquí se puede decir que cristalizado la etapa oscura de Yukio, que hace que sea uno de los personajes con mayor evolución de la historia, pero que a la vez consigue que resulte muy antipático y haya momentos que hasta angustiante. Sobre todo por como eso está afectando a la relación con su hermano, que no sabe nada del asunto, y sacando a flote todos los celos y ganas de superarle que siente hacia él.
Sin embargo, no todo en este volumen gira en torno al mundo en peligro y al tenebroso viaje de autodescubrimiento y destrucción que ha emprendido Yukio. Además del primer capítulo, hay varias escenas más enfocadas en lo escolar y lo humorístico (en lo personal me he reído mucho con las reacciones de Shima y Miwa a que su Bon quiera ser discípulo de alguien). Y también en lo romántico. Una misión aparentemente sencilla que, como no, sale mal, hace que Rin se declare a Shiemi. y claro, no todo va a ser tan fácil, da la impresión de que los dos no van por la misma onda y buscan el uno del otro cosas diferentes. Lo cual no quita para que esos momentos tengan algo muy tierno. Y para colmo, todo se cierra con el descubrimiento de que Shura ha desaparecido. Abriéndonos las puertas a un nuevo e interesante arco.

En la primera parte del volumen, los chicos disfrutan de unas mini-vacaciones, lo cual es la perfecta excusa para tener la clásica escena en los onsen.
Ya después, volvemos a ver a Lightning, quien parece estar vigilando lo que sucede en la sede de Japón. Al ser uno de los exorcistas más poderosos con todo y su personalidad extraña, Suguro le pide que lo haga su discípulo pues la traición de Shima y todo lo ocurrido en Kyoto han hecho que el joven perdiera su ambición y, por ende, su camino.
Ya para el final, Yukio entrena por su cuenta al intentar descubrir cuál es el trigger para despertar el poder en sus ojos. Al mismo tiempo, Rin y Shiemi están cubriendo una misión solos y con todo y que no es lo más romántico, Rin por fin confiesa lo que siente por ella. Shiemi también le quiere, quizá no de la misma manera, aunque quién sabe… tal vez sí le guste de Rin de manera romántica, solo que, siendo tan despistada, creo que no se ha dado cuenta ni ella misma.
En consecuencia, le estoy dando 4/5 porque mi OTP tuvo una escena preciosa, pero en realidad es un 3/5 ya que se siente como la introducción a un nuevo arco y, por tanto, no sucede algo digno de qué hablar.
Este volumen contiene los capítulos 68 – 73.

Good details, well drawn art, enticing story. Especially in the later chapters.
However, I did really hate this opens with a filler chapter about being naked and fan service.

Lots happening in this one--stuff with Bon, stuff with Yukio, stuff with Rin and Shiemi... Its not exactly action-packed, but the plot's definitely moving forward!

This was both good and bad. But together it was amazing. Longest volume so far. Yukio is an Idiot. Just talk to Rin omg.

We're setting up for the next arc, but for now let's check in on the actual schooling of the cram school to become an exorcist. Which meister is everyone choosing? Lightning is supposed to be involved in the school now, how is that gonna work? How are our characters going to get stronger for oncoming threats? Who's going to end up dating who??? So many questions. I love watching Yukio develop, it's fascinating. Dude is becoming more of a rival character as he goes on and is taking some pretty drastic steps towards trying to get stronger so he can match up to Rin's full-blown blue flame powers.

The series continues its cooldown while setting up the stage for the next longer arc. We are, again, spending a little more time in the academy itself which makes for good playoff between the characters.
However, I do wish the series returns a bit more to its gothic-ish roots.

Yukio visits Shura in the hospital to discuss the current situation and to explain about Shima being a double agent. A tired, overworked Yukio doesn’t trust either Mephisto or Shima, but for the present there is nothing to be done about that. Shura tells him that Mephisto has given her tickets for everyone to an ultra bath in Southern Cross, and tells a reluctant Yukio he needs it as much or more than anyone else. So everyone heads out for some down time, including the acknowledged spy in their midst.
The girls share some time in the bath, while the boys goof around in their bath. When Shima shows up, they think he’s acting weird, until he reveals the reason for his behavior – namely, that Izumo, Shiemi, and Shura are right next door, and they are naked! His stated intentions of seeing them naked produces an unexpected declaration from Rin.
Back at home, Rin finds an abandoned kotatsu with a missing blanket, and dreams of being able to have people over for a hot pot party! Concerned about his brother, he questions Yukio, who blows him off, as always. At the Vatican, Mephisto is attending a meeting at True Cross Headquarters concerning recent develops. The name Igor Niehaus is brought up, the former instructor who was suspended after an attack on Rin and whose current whereabouts are unknown. Accused by Arthur Angel of being a traitor, Mephisto convinces them that he has their best interests at heart, and is working to keep the Gehenna gate closed. Lightning privately convinces Angel to have him assigned to the Japan Branch of True Cross, so he can look into matters.
To the Exwires dismay, Yukio informs them that they will be taking exorcist certification exam sooner than expected. They must each resubmit their desired meisters ahead of time. Rin discusses the Yukio situation with Shiemi, but she is as much in the dark concerning his behavior as Rin is. Meanwhile, Yukio has his own agenda, one that brings him little sleep, brought on by unexpected observations of himself. Lightning shows up at True Cross as an instructor, and takes Suguro on as his acolyte/servant. The other Exwires can’t believe the highly alpha Suguro acting like such a toady, but Suguro insists Lightning is his mentor and he wishes to learn from him. He hopes that if he does well, Lightning will take him on as an apprentice.
Shiemi is uncertain which meister she wishes to study for, so returns home to consult with her mother, only to have an unexpected discussion. On a routine mission, Shiemi and RIn find themselves trapped together, and things are …. well, said… that could have interesting consequences.
The action doesn’t stop in this volume of Blue Exorcist. Never a dull moment. It’s interesting to watch Shima’s return to the school and see how the Exwires relate to him, especially Suguro and Konekomaru. Being a double agent must be tricky. How can either side fully trust him, not knowing for sure where his true loyalties lie since he has to be convincing to all of them? We see more into what Yukio is up to, and his doubts about himself as well as the potentially harmful way he is dealing with it. Sooner or later, I think he needs to tell Rin what’s going on, and Mephisto too. Despite being odd, I suspect there is more good than bad in Mephisto. A love triangle is forming, but I think it’s based on erroneous information and is more a comedy of errors than anything else. Can’t wait to see what happens.
Another great volume, looking forward to more!

*1.5*
I felt like this installment was a mess and a half. First there was that pointless and not really funny bath scene in the beginning, and then there just didn't seem to be much of a point to the rest of the volume. Like, I get Kato's gearing up for something big and that the plot will move forward again, but after the last couple volumes I felt that this one was a bit of a let down. I found some scenes rushed and/or lacking, and other scenes to be completely unnecessary. Honestly, I just don't know if I'll continue the series after this one. I'm starting to quickly lose interest, which is a shame, because it was such a neat concept.

Some of this was just filler and regrouping after the previous arc, I feel - some good and some meh. Definitely the hot springs was just fanservice and unnecessary, and even the last mission with Rin and Shiemi was largely pointless besides them talking about which twin Shiemi might love
Lightning is an interesting character, and I'm glad we're seeing more of him! The way he short-forms his summonings and death arias is really interesting, I hope Bon can learn from him!
Also let's talk about Yukio because uhhhhhhhHHHHHH.

There was so much happening in this volume, how can I possibly cover it all.
I will say though, that I absolutley loved all the brotherly love and concern between Rin and Yukio. Those two are the main reason that I am here. I just love them so much. Rin, of course, has noticed that his brother has been acting strange lately and he asks him if he's eating properly and if anything is wrong he should tell him. But sadly, Yukio is so thick headed and stubborn that he refuses to rely on anyone, not even his older twin brother. It seems he views needing help as a weakness. He wants to get stronger and find out what is happening with his eyes so desperately, my precious boy has driven himself to extreme measures. Putting his life on the literal line. He's spiraling down quickly and it's easy to see how this will further culminate in the decision he takes later on from the spoilers I have seen.
Meanwhile, the Illuminati threat continues to grow stronger and more prominent. Each of the world's government branches of the True Cross are on high alert as an increase in demonic activity keeps increasing. There are not many exorcists so they are becoming overwhelmed with such high levels of activity. As a result, the Exorcist Certification Exam has been moved up to happen in around a month since the True Cross desperately needs more exorcists. Furthermore, they worry that this increase in demonic activity will cause more people to be able to see demons, practically creating a real hell on Earth. The Illuminati as stated has become the biggest threat the world and the True Cross has seen yet.
All the while, Lightning has arrived at the cram school to help in teaching and to try and weed out any traitors that may be lurking around. He shows incredible abilities as an exorcist as such Bon begs to become his apprentice and actor a test, Lightninh accepts. However, I do find Lightning a but suspicious and don't completely trust him. For some reason he kept asking that if Bon wanted that badly to become his apprentice than all he had to do was give him Rin's sword. Of course, Bon would never hand it over, but still even if it is some level of interest or to study it, I don't know, I find it odd and sus.
Afterwards, there are strong scenes between Rin and Shiemi. It's obvious that Rin really likes Shiemi, however, despite how much she worries about both Rin and Yukio, it seems she only views them as friends she really cares about. To be honest, that chapter with them, while yes they are really cute and close and care about each other because their friends and everything they have gone through; that chapter brought down the quality of the volume for me. Not by much, but it still did. Just do not find the ship of Rin and Shiemi appealing at all. I can definitely see why people like it, but I prefer them as friends and honestly, would rather if none of the Okumara twins got together with Shiemi. These boys really do not need any more conflict and worries between each other, especially over some girl. Though, don't get me wrong, I like Shiemi. She's such a sweet and caring person, but definitely hoping no ship between Rin and Yukio happen with her.
Finally, the volume ends with Mephisto sending the Okumura twins to look for Shura who has disappeared.
All in all, look forward to the next volume and hope for more brotherly love between my favorite precious boys, but I know it will only get worse before it gets better *cries*

Empieza el tomo con el grupo yendo a unos baños termales para relajarse pero fue más que nada un relleno porque a pesar que estuvo entretenido en ciertas partes, no aporta a la trama principal.
Hay una reunión en el Vaticano en donde hablan sobre los llluminati, buscarlos y destruirlos. También que la puerta al mundo de los demonios (que se abrió muchos capítulos atrás) si se llega a expandir sería como el mismo infierno así que quieren buscar soluciones aunque ahora no tengan ninguna.
Yukio finalmente acepta que quiere ser más fuerte así que llega a un edificio abandonado en donde buscará formas de ponerse en peligro para tener miedo y así activar el poder que tienen sus ojos. Cuando se tira del edificio es cuando lo logra pero no sabe exactamente qué fue lo que pasó.
Como el número de demonios aumentó entonces Mephisto va a adelantar las pruebas para tener más exorcistas. Además, Lewin Light será profesor y todos quedan impresionados porque realiza conjuros rápidamente, sobretodo Suguro que se convierte en su aprendiz, aunque es más como un secretario.
Hay un capítulo en donde Rin y Shiemi van a una misión juntos y se acercan bastante. Rin se le declara pero Shiemi no le dice lo mismo aunque si se pone nerviosa, yo creo que es más bien porque es despistada que ni ella misma sabe qué siente, pero si que le gusta.
Mephisto llama a Rin y Yukio porque Shura está desaparecida y quiere que vayan a encontrarla así que esta historia se desarrollara en el siguiente tomo.
Se sintió más como un tomo relajado porque sí pasan cosas que serán importantes después, pero también tenemos partes en las cuales los personajes están estudiando o descansando y a nivel historia no es que haga avanzar la trama. Estuvo bien en general.
Hay una reunión en el Vaticano en donde hablan sobre los llluminati, buscarlos y destruirlos. También que la puerta al mundo de los demonios (que se abrió muchos capítulos atrás) si se llega a expandir sería como el mismo infierno así que quieren buscar soluciones aunque ahora no tengan ninguna.
Yukio finalmente acepta que quiere ser más fuerte así que llega a un edificio abandonado en donde buscará formas de ponerse en peligro para tener miedo y así activar el poder que tienen sus ojos. Cuando se tira del edificio es cuando lo logra pero no sabe exactamente qué fue lo que pasó.

I know it's a "me" problem, but I really don't like fanservice. It always feels un-necessary. The scene with them all naked in a hot tub or sauna or whatever was really dumb...in my opinion. Nothing really happened other than Shima being a pervert per usual. And don't even get me started on Shura...I really didn't want to see that...
Yukio continues to wonder about his eye and why it protects him, and why it's similar to Rin's blue flame. That Lucifer guy implied that there's some big secret regarding his birth...I wonder what that's supposed to mean. Yukio and Rin are twins, but is it possible for Yukio to have a different father? It seems unlikely, but what else did Lucifer mean?
That being said, I'm growing more frustrated with Yukio. Rin and Shiemi know something's up, but Yukio refuses to say anything. So stubborn.
"Lightning" seems like an interesting character. He reminds me a bit of Kisuke from Bleach. He says he's not good at teaching, but I feel like he'd be a great teacher without realizing it...
Oh and Rin and Shiemi's little moment together was really cute. I'm honestly rooting for them. Rin is so obvious and straightforward about his feelings for her, but it seems like she's more shy and a little oblivious about it. I mean, it's possible that she really only sees Rin as a friend, but perhaps...
Honestly, I'm just eagerly waiting for them to get together. I don't think it'll happen soon, though...

okay that was a interesting volume.
this volume was another filler one which continued to show characters recovering from the previous arc but also set up for the next major story arc as well as some plot twists. we had more with lightning who . this volume showed the main group back in classes training up for their exorcist exams and a new teacher arriving to help with their training.
the new teacher seems mysterious and is able to do a few things easier and faster then was previously mentioned. it will be interesting to see how he plays into the story as well as what else he is capable of. also the ending of this volume sets up for an interesting look at one of the main characters who readers have not been given a whole lot of information on but has been around for a fair bit.
also the side character arc with yukio is getting more and more interesting since this volume showed him trying to work out his new powers as well as if he should go meet a villain in order to get a better control over them. it will be interesting to see how this plays out as well as how this will affect yukio's character moving forward in the series.
overall another really good volume in this series with a promising new arc and some promising looking new character arcs, definitely curious to see how a few of the elements play out. 5/5

This volume begins a new arc but before that begins it gives us one heck of a fan service chapter. The core team heads off to a bath/spa to recover from what the Illuminata did to them and to try to accept Shima back after all they’ve learned about him. So we have tons of naked bodies, carefully places word balloons and steam especially when some demons appear. It was fun seeing Rin’s tail (take that as you will).
The rest of the arc is a bit more slow to unfold. There is a good amount of catching everyone up with their schooling and them facing having to pick their emphasis much faster than they thought to cope with the exorcist shortage. Bon finds himself trying to impress one of the knights, Light, to the point of reinventing himself a bit.
In the meantime, Yuki is trying to explore the secret of his eyes and potential Satanic legacy, going it alone as he wants no one to know. One of the most touching parts however, would be Shiemi’s storyline, facing her mother’s expectation of her and the sweet awkwardness between her and Rin.
With the ground work now set, the next volume promises to be more action packed as they have to find out what happened when one of their own disappears

This one is a character and humor volume, leaving the heavier conflicts with the illuminati of the previous two volumes behind.
Yokui continues to act strangely, having discovered the flame in his eye that he associates with his brother and unable to account for it. He attempts to trigger the effect again, going to some extreme lengths to do so.
The entire team goes to a public bath house. Supposedly funny. By the far the weakest chapter in my opinion.
The last few chapters deal with Light coming from the Vatican to join the Japanese sector run by Mephisto Pheles. No one really trusts "Lord Pheles," so Light slips in as a result. He proves capable of doing some pretty cool stuff. Suguro demonstrates how advanced he is, and then, when he shows he can be humbled he manages to get Light to take him as his apprentice.

I give it 3.7 ⭐, Bon been improve a lot in some of the panels, he become lightning apprentice n learned from him even though lightning is bad at teaching him also he got new haircut even his hair is all in black not like before yellow & black♥️. At bath house, Rin & shima peek on the girls side but bon used his chants to beat demon monkey who control them(Rin & shima) but when the wall got smashed, the boys see the girls naked at the pool, shura kill them in the end. Yukio's power revealed when yukio try kill himself by using his summoning demons & falling from tall building. Mephisto give a job to yukio with rin to find shura at aomori. Next volume pls ~ 🙂

En este tomo volvemos a centrarnos en la vida estudiantil de los protagonistas y su elección de la especialidad de exorcistas que quieren ser. Además llega a la academia un nuevo profesor bastante extravagante que los dejará a todos descolocados, especialmente a Bon.
Por otro lado Yukio nunca me ha caído bien pero su actitud actual no la aguanto. Esa inquina y celos sin sentido que tiene hacía Rin y como se guarda las cosas sin pedir ayuda a nadie, a pesar de que no hacen más que preguntarle... por no mencionar las locuras que está haciendo. En fin.

16 TOMOS DESPUÉS Y POR FIN HAY AVANCE ENTRE RIN Y SHIEMI, GRACIAS SEÑOR MÍO!!
Bueno, ya en serio, pensé que no iba a pasar nada entre ellos. Encima ahora shippeo a Izumo y Bon (<3)
Ya me hacía falta un tomo con comedia de la vida escolar, pero cómo se complicaron las cosas en el curso de exorcistas...
La verdad no sé qué pensar de Yukio, empezó siendo mi personaje favorito y ahora ya no lo entiendo, pero espero que se sepa pronto qué le ocurre.
Por fin se viene arco sobre la profe Kirigakure! Ya era hora!

So Shima is back but still seems to be playing both sides.
Suguro doesn't know if he wants to be an exorcist anymore but is now assistant/manager to the right-hand of the Paladin.....is Lightning acting like an idiot to throw everyone off or does he really have so little manners and common sense?
Shiemi! Her mom doesn't want her to he an exorcist and she wants to be one..... And then Rin confessed to her and her little naive brain let it go right over her head! I hope she thinks about it now!
And wth is going on with Yukio?!?!

Przyjemna zapchaj dziura, poszerzająca nieco wiedzę o dotąd enigmatycznej postaci - Lightingu. W tle duże uczucia, bo Rin w końcu nie kryje zamiarów do Shiemi. Niepokojące jest to co dzieje się z Yukio, który jest targany wewnętrznymi rozterkami. Na tych "wyposzczonych" wdzięków bohaterek mam dobrą wiadomość - jest wizyta na basenie, która cieszy oczy, tylko czy była potrzeba w serii? To już zależy czego się oczekuje.

THE GOOD
Rin, Shima, Bon, Koneko; Aaah the gang seems to be reconnecting with one another now that they are getting somewhat passed Shima's double agent reveal. It's nice to see them coming back together. But Bon changed his hair! I don't like it.
Lightning; This guy... he is super weird but it's what makes him likeable.
THE BAD
Yukio: Someone is on a downward spiral...

A pesar de que la historia se mueve poco y nada, me divirtió mucho la historia con Lightning y Bon, de alguna forma tiene sentido que Bon lo vea como su complemento y quiera ser su discípulo. También me parece interesante que Kazue Kato busque la forma de mostrar momentos en los que los personajes realmente crean un vínculo, antes que solo mostrar peleas y cosas por el estilo.
