Kekkaishi #14
Kekkaishi, Vol. 14
By night, teenager Yoshimori Sumimura is a "kekkaishi"--a demon-hunter who specializes in creating magical barriers around his prey. By day, Yoshimori's got other demons to battle: an addiction to sweets and a seriously crotchety grandfather! Yoshimori's pretty neighbor and childhood friend, Tokine Yukimura, is also a kekkaishi, but their families are feuding over who is the true practitioner of the art.
While his big brother Masamori takes heat from the fearsome Council for the calamity at the Karasumori site, Yoshimori attempts to outsmart an ayakashi who saps his opponent's strength with mind games. Then, when Yoshimori decides to play Good Samaritan and help a raven-like ayakashi, will he end up crowing with pride or swearing "nevermore"...?

I think this volume can be divided three stories. First is the story of Takeshi and Jaren that was continuing from the last volume. Second is the story of Ootengu. Third story is the relationship between Masamori and Urakai(?). The second story was short and it doesn’t seem to continue. In the recent stories, it was almost continuing story, so I felt a little bit strangeness. But I think next volume will continue about the story of Masamori and his around.

Kekkaishi, Vol. 14 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next nine chapters (126–134) of the on-going manga series with a bonus story.
Ichirō Ōgi, the eighth seat of the Council of Twelve, accuses Masamori Sumimura of botching the battle against the Kokubōrō. In hopes of discrediting Masamori, Ogi initiates a council inspection of the Karasumori site and sends Okuni, the ninth seat of the Council of Twelve to oversee the inspection.
However, just before Okuni arrives at the Karasumori Site, a mysterious black box is delivered to the headquarters of Masamori's night troops, and Misao, a young night trooper, is sucked inside. Meanwhile an identical box appears at the Karasumori Site.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Yellow Tanabe. This tankōbon mainly focuses on the political machinations with the Shadow Organization, in particular the leading faction – The Counicl of Twelve as an inspection of the Karasumori site is issued. However, before any inspections culd happen a black box appears – one for Masamori Sumimura and the other for his younger brother Yoshimori.
All in all, Kekkaishi, Vol. 14 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

Nice ending to the exorcist arc as Yoshimori gives hope to the exorcist and together they defeat Jaren and while the fight was not spectacular it was just a nice short arc. Also their is a sort of random adventure with the Tengus and it was just weird and felt it did not really belong here. Finally we get the story really going as we learn more about the Shadow Organization and meet a new member of the it's ruling council.

This volume goes back to the roots of ayakashi hunting from the beginning of the series. There is a storyline with a Goblin I didn't really like. The Goblin falls in love with an 18-year-old girl, and it felt icky to me. It doesn't go anywhere weird besides stalking, but I still didn't like this volume as much as the others.

Good read, I will say that I did enjoy the first few chapters, but I was kind of disappointed with the deity because I expected more. However, I thought the last chapter was magnificent, and it made me want to buy the next volume

The beginning chapters of the volume are again focussing on helping Takeshi seal the youkai Djaren who is empowered by Karasumori's influence. Like Kageru he has a line of tempting his opponents to give in to his persuasion (which is how he got Takeshi's former master twice).
The drama is interleaved with the fact that Yoshimori and Takeshi both have airhead tendencies that strengthen each other and Tokine can only wonder at it and bear it ^^.
The boys manage to subdue the yokai and after Takeshi takes his leave, Yoshimori who hasn't been able to use his special version of zekkai even once since the first time tries to think of how to bring it out of him.
Apart from that training there's a bit of a pitiful but comic relief story about a huge Tengu in love with an American exchange student, and his followers who are hoping Yoshimori will help them to get the Tengu Lord to concentrate on his duties... (there's a lovely sideswipe of the author at what is seen as lovelorn behaviour from a man's side may be stalking behaviour from the woman's point of view).
The last chapter leads into the next bigger arc - an enemy of Masamori's on the Shadow Council has paid to make trouble for Karasumori and the Night Shift and those mercenaries now use their power to start attacking both Karasumori as well as the Nightshift Headquarters with empty, black boxes...ooooooooooooo fushigi mystery...

I really love Tanabe's designs for the different ayakashi. The tengu in this volume were adorable!
I kept misreading Jaren as Jared, which is the name of a jewelry company with really obnoxious ads. Actually, all jewelry companies have really obnoxious ads. Anyway, I was very disappointed Jaren wasn't destroyed. Maybe he'll come back in a future volume....

The story just wasn't as engaging as in other volumes, but it's probably because he just finished a big story arc. It was still enjoyable though!

もう一度結界師を読めることになって嬉しい！
でも十五巻家で忘れた！どうしよう？！これから診察あるのに！！！！いつも一時間ぐらい待ったなきゃいけない！その一時間にどうすればいいの？！？漫画読みたい！あ〜大丈夫だよ！昨日新しいのもらって読む！
うん昌守と良守の関係が兄弟らしい。昌守はいい人と思う。彼野ことをもっと知りたいけどなんかイヤなのかんがある。彼は多分死ぬと思う。なんかそういう気がする。
