Goodreads Synopsis:
Raised by Father
Fujimoto, a famous exorcist, Rin Okumura never knew his real father. One
day a fateful argument with Father Fujimoto forces Rin to face a
terrible truth – the blood of the demon lord Satan runs in Rin’s veins!
Rin swears to defeat Satan, but doing that means entering the mysterious
True Cross Academy and becoming an exorcist himself.
The operation against Professor Gedoin’s diabolical Dream Town Inari was just the opening round in the growing conflict between the Knights of the True Cross and the Illuminati. As both sides regroup and lay plans for the future, the Exwires try to come to terms with what has happened. Though Izumo finds some peace and a new sense of purpose, serious questions about Renzo Shima’s betrayal still need to be answered. It’s not an easy thing for Rin and his friends to learn that they have become pawns in Mephisto’s schemes, but the game is on!

Review:
Now that Izumo is safe again, the
gang is trying to recover from everything. Everyone is still gathering
information from what happened and what was revealed. We’re finding out more
about the Illuminati and what they want. The biggest reveal, though, is what
Shima was actually doing and who he’s actually working for.
Shima is a double agent, only at
this point it’s hard to figure out who he actually is working for and who he’s
betraying. I don’t like him, and I don’t trust him. Thankfully, most of the
gang agrees with this, and I appreciate that they beat him up a bit.
Izumo is still recovering from what
happened. She finds out where her sister is. And now that all of that is past,
she is able to finally let herself grow close to her classmates. She doesn’t
have to keep them at a distance anymore.
This is getting messy. But I’m
quite enjoying it. I really like the gang of characters here, in particular.
