This would be a straightforward action-adventure, except the head of the academy may not be human himself and he seems to be plotting something. And Rin's twin brother turns out to have a few secrets of his own! And there's this magic sword and some mysterious classmates and other demons keep popping up. Rin's suddenly a very busy half-demon.
I love the way the demons are drawn here. If you come into this expecting echoes of Catholicism, try again. For the Japanese, devils and demons are a little bit more complex and a little less black and white. Mind you, some of the demons in this serie are flat-out evil. But this series has much more to do with Japanese folklore and ghost stories than The Exorcist.
