The most recent issue of Jump SQ magazine published
the final chapter of the manga “ Twin Star Exorcists ( Sousei
no Onmyouji )”, written and illustrated by Yoshiaki Sukeno .
This work concludes after a successful serialization that spanned eleven years,
from its debut in October 2013 to September 2024. During this time, the series
accumulated more than thirty compiled volumes, consolidating itself as one of
the most popular series in the magazine.
“Twin Star Exorcists” follows the story of Rokuro
Enmado and Benio Adashino, two talented young exorcists who, according to a
prophecy, are destined to marry and have a child who will become the ultimate
exorcist, known as the “Miko.” This supreme being will be
able to purify all evil spirits, known as Kegare, and put an end to an age-old
war. The plot begins when Rokuro, once a promising exorcist, abandons his
calling after a tragic incident that costs his friends their lives. However,
his encounter with Benio, a renowned exorcist from the east, forces him to face
his destiny once again.
The manga's popularity led to it being adapted into an
anime series produced by Pierrot Studios, which aired between April 2016 and
March 2017, totaling fifty episodes. The anime
further expanded the franchise's fan base, presenting an animated version of
the story that captured the essence of the manga, although it took certain
creative liberties in its development.
In addition to the manga and anime, “Twin Star
Exorcists” also spawned other spin-off products, such as three light novels and
two spin-off manga, which explored different aspects of the universe created by
Sukeno. Bandai Namco Entertainment also developed a video game for the
PS Vita, released in January 2017, which allowed players to further immerse
themselves in the fight against the Kegare.
With the conclusion of “Twin Star Exorcists,” fans bid
farewell to a series that not only offered thrilling storytelling and endearing
characters, but also left a significant mark on manga and anime. Yoshiaki
Sukeno’s work bids farewell after eleven years of intense stories, epic
battles, and a legacy that will live on in the memories of its fans.
