Blue Exorcist Volume 21
Overview: An attack on Tokyo by a huge demon that is visible to almost everyone marks the start of an unprecedented outbreak of demonic activity around the world. While the Knights of the True Cross and the Japanese government scramble to contain the damage, Lightning’s investigation into the Illuminati has pushed the Knights of the True Cross – and Yukio – just a little too far. Now Yukio rushes to confront Mephisto, determined to hear the truth of the circumstances of his and Rin’s birth. Yet Mephisto, aloof as always, still seems to be pulling everyone’s strings. For Yukio and Rin, there will be no easy answers.

This volume got things moving quickly. Yukio is in a dark place. He confronts Mephisto about his eye. He picks a very bad time to confront Maphisto as he is about to do a press conference on the things that people are seeing. Of course, just as he is about to do that, things take a strange turn. This volume leaves a lot of questions. What is Yukio going to do next, how will Rin react, and will the True Cross be able to overcome everything thrown at them.
Overall, this is one of the best books in the series. It left me wanting more and wanting to know what is going to happen to the characters I have been following for 21 volumes. I can’t wait to get the next volume and dive into what is going to happen next.
