## Synopsis

Rin Okumura has always been the hot-tempered troublemaker of a church orphanage, until the day he learns the truth: he is the son of Satan, born to inherit blue flames no human can control. When that heritage costs him the guardian who raised him, Rin makes an impossible vow — to become an exorcist powerful enough to defeat Satan himself. He enrolls at True Cross Academy's cram school for exorcists, where his calm, bespectacled twin brother Yukio turns out to be one of the instructors. Learning to wield a power everyone around him fears, Rin has to prove he's more than the demon in his blood.
