A school-action take on exorcism where hotheaded Rin Okumura trains to fight demons with volatile blue flames.

Synopsis

The Anime Lad

Rin Okumura is a hotheaded teenager raised at a monastery. He learns that demons exist beside the human world and decides to become an exorcist rather than remain frightened of them. He enters a training academy with powerful blue flames that are poorly suited to discretion. Future planning remains difficult.

Super Eyepatch Fox

Demons cross into the human world through possession, and trained exorcists push them back. Hotheaded Rin Okumura chooses to join their profession and enters a training academy. His blue flames make a powerful weapon and a terrible aid to discretion. Classroom restraint is not his specialty.

Gigguku

Rin sees the demon world pressing into ordinary life and answers it by deciding to become an exorcist. That stubbornness is the whole spark! He enters an academy full of specialized demon hunters while carrying blue flames he can barely control. The school structure gives everyone a clear role, but Rin's sword turns every lesson into a potential alarm. Extremely flammable career choice!

Father's Basement

The supernatural academy follows a recognizable syllabus, complete with rivalries and specialized classmates. Rin keeps it from feeling entirely prepackaged. He chooses to train as an exorcist while carrying blue flames and very little patience. His impulsiveness is a real liability rather than a decorative trait, so even ordinary lessons threaten to become emergencies.

This world consists of two dimensions joined as one, like a mirror. The first is the world in which the humans live, Assiah.
