After a decade, Twin Star Exorcists is over

This article includes spoilers for the "Twin Star Exorcists" manga. Discretion is advised to the reader.

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 compilation volumes, consolidating itself as one of the magazine's most popular series.

"Twin Star Exorcists" follows the story of Rokuro Enmado and Benio Adashino, two talented young exorcists who, according to a prophecy, are destined to get married and have a son 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 ancient war. The plot begins when Rokuro, who was once a promising exorcist, abandons his vocation after a tragic incident that cost his friends their lives. However, his encounter with Benio, a renowned exorcist from the east, forces him to face his destiny again.

The popularity of the manga led to it being adapted into an anime series produced by Pierrot studios, which aired between April 2016 and March 2017, adding a total of fifty episodes. The anime further expanded the franchise's fanbase, featuring an animated version of the story that captured the essence of the manga, though 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 mangas, which explored different aspects of the universe created by Sukeno. Likewise, Bandai Namco Entertainment developed a video game for the PS Vita, released in January 2017, which allowed players to immerse themselves even more in the fight against the Kegare.

With the conclusion of "Twin Star Exorcists," fans bid farewell to a series that not only offered an exciting narrative and endearing characters, but also left a significant mark on manga and anime. Yoshiaki Sukeno's work says goodbye after eleven years of intense stories, epic battles and a legacy that will live on in the memory of his followers.

This is the story of a boy and a girl who defied their cruel fate, and the story of their son, endowed with the power to change that fate and save the world. This is the story of how a family achieved happiness."
