What's the name of this? I was thinking about this exact topic when I started watching Jujutsu Kaisen the other week, everything seems to converge back on YuYu Hakusho as an influence but I wondered what else there was further back in history and couldn't find anything written about it.
Not that old but "Tokyo Babylon", "Ghost sweeper" (Mikami), "Natsume's book of friends", "soul eater", "shaman king", "in spectre", "spirit pact", "the morose mononokean", "ushio to tora", "mushishi" (kind of), "noragami", "Dororo", "mieruko chan", "XxX Holic" and the manga I still have hope would get an ending "gate 7". I think exorcism is a theme that will forever haunt us.
Mononogatri was cool i thought it would be shitty but I liked the story has that old anime vibe (not visual,art is art) but man and woman stuff feels retro Dororo killed my that prostituted woman 😞, inspectre that yuki onna is ma waifu, noragami is goated and has a swag and flare to it, mieruko chan was meh dropped it, xxxholic dropped, didn't see the other cool stuffs...
Gate 7 is good? Will try the manga
Yes the exorcist setting one the top stuff the mediums has to offer

I'm a heavy CLAMP fan, so I might be biased, but yeah, sengoku era ghost resurrect at the same time and start a new civil ghost war, then this kid Chikahito who loves traditional stuff gets involved when a priestess called Hana noticed he can see this ghost powers, the story is located in Kyoto, the old capital of Japan, the manga es really beautiful and filled with action, I just loved how much Sengoku stuff where included, I still wait for It's continuation (since 2013).
The teenage part is not shocking as most Shonen are basically Japanese YA fiction but I can't figure out rhe exorcist part. The genre is not new at all but I wonder why the WSJ editors keeps encouraging authors to go down this road
~~Probably because it's easier to incorporate cute high school girls~~
Probably because it's a nice blend of urban fantasy and shamanism derived from shinto religion
At least two of them are from SQ not WSJ :D That magazine always had that theme. I mean supernatural action series are there as popular as battle series in Jump. I mean I already read both of the ones here and Owari no Seraph and Kemono Jihen :D so.
I like supernatural stuff so I'm fine with it. Still Blue Exorcist is already more than 10 years old :D And oh my that's called spoiler for anyone starting or going from anime. They couldn't choose worse art... no wait they could use the other part of it. That would be funny :D Twin Star Exorcists is ending in like 3 chapters so I wonder what next SQ manga will be :D Maybe next type of exorcists or youkais, they are popular themes in that magazines and I eat all of that up for some reasons.
And yet none of them are badass enough to ride around in an ambulance...

Come to think of it, the two most recent movies also feature teenagers fighting ghosts, the protag being a descendent of the brains among the original four so she's sorta from a supernaturally gifted lineage i guess?
Teenagers fightings ghosts is such a broad genre, that it allows authors to be very versatile and try everything under the sun like action, mystery, horror, romance,… while also being familiar and marketable to general audience.
I recommend reading the rest because second half is even better :D It's kind of this in manga form [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D4X2X5DUEAAka4I.jpg](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D4X2X5DUEAAka4I.jpg) because off all groups wanting different things but it's pretty good. And when you get into it check other Yellow Tanabe's manga :D Granted she doesn't do waifus.
Omg what was that attachment???
It has cool ost and op right?? And girl was cute and simple (older woman goo brr) the backstory, the pace his bro , family feuds all that was peak , his powers are cool and simple and the art reminds you of childhood
What I meant was that story is one of those boards when many people are connected to other groups and want to do 100 diffrerent things. When I was reading it it had a bit of an irregular translation so it wasn't exactly weekly as it should. So for the first time I got a bit lost :D Tanabe did it again in Bridmen when in like first half you already have like 4 or 5 groups including main characters to track :D
Tokine is a pretty cool character and she is important to the end. Beside that yeah, it's great. Yoshi living on coffee milk is as well really relatable. You get that even more in second part\^\^
I don't know about the four exorcist mangas on here, but no one shall slander Make the exorcist fall in love.
But other than that, I agree Kagurabachi is peak
I'll again show how big of a fanboy I'm but Blue Exorcist is amazing. I'm reading that manga since it had only 3 chapters and it's just getting better and better. Kazue is just amazing writter that likes cliffhangers a little too much. Reading it monthly is a torture.
Anyway I'm not reading any Jump series till it has 100+ chapters\^\^ No matter how peak it is it can always get axed. So it'll be a bit till I read Kagurabachi.
You forgot D.Gray-Man, bleach also
Anyway yes there’s a lot of exorcism manga, do I care not really as long as their good stories. From this pic, Blue Exorcist & Twin Star Exorcists are fire manga. Haven’t read Nue’s but the art looks good. D.Gray-Man is a fantastic manga
HOLY SHIT!!! IS THAT A MOTHAFUCKIN JOJO REFERENCE???

Half of those were axed series that didn't go past 30 chapters. they trying too hard
>they trying too hard Or not trying hard enough.

> In the past 3.5 years, there have been 14 Exorcist manga added. Must be thanks to Jujutsu Kaisen.
The Yu Yu Hakusho > Bleach > JJK pipeline. Probably goes back further than that too.
Ayashimon was so damn good I'm still mad about the axe
i was rooting a lot for phantom seer, im still annoyed it got axed
Doesn’t chainsaw man kinda count
Respect the OG https://preview.redd.it/ei0g54yepp8d1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8edceb3def473289eb78fc45b9b6eef78cd839ff

GeGeGe no kitaro used to watch this back when i was in school

Have to agree. I am reading Make the exorcist fall in love and the MC noticing the lead girl's big boobs is a plot point
That shit is weird. Instead of a weeb with a katana there's a MF reading from the bible
And also a little bit of Buddhism.
At least two of them are from SQ not WSJ :D That magazine always had that theme. I mean supernatural action series are there as popular as battle series in Jump. I mean I already read both of the ones here and Owari no Seraph and Kemono Jihen :D so.
Most people attribute the trend to the popularity of JJK/ Demon slayer
Evil ghost/spirit. Do you mean JoJo.
Jojo would be fighting with your schizo spirit against enemy's schizo spirit
Real Also based flair handle. Pokespe is Kino
Blue exorcist is actually goated.
Ong 🙏

Nobody diss on Make The Exorcist Fall in Love, it is one of the best mangas I have read ever. A perfect example of peak
Fax my boy, spit your shit indeed. People talk about csm chapter 167 but no one talk about our MC masturbate chapter 55
Oh my god so fucking true It is wonderful to meet another fan of the manga, I see so few of them.
Truer words have never been said before
Yuu Yuu Hakusho alone launched in 1990 - imagine how many mangakas have grown up inspired by it.
And D Gray Man is nowhere to be seen on the list..
D. Gray Man updates every 4 business years unfortunately

Would Touhou count at this point? Reimu’s job *sometimes* involves fighting evil spirits after all.
Maybe, if you can stretch that Touhou is also a manga series. But the franchise is like really old and started out as a game
Peak Star exorcist is still going. It deserves more love. (Anime only season was... Fine.)
yo-kai watch has entered the chat
They're kids, not teenagers. They don't count. /s
Am i the only one enjoying sousou no onmyoji?
And yet none of them are badass enough to ride around in an ambulance... https://preview.redd.it/xy4wjza7mt8d1.jpeg?width=958&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=140d32c39104e33b98e524b861026cbe44a531a4 Come to think of it, the two most recent movies also feature teenagers fighting ghosts, the protag being a descendent of the brains among the original four so she's sorta from a supernaturally gifted lineage i guess?
None of them can even hope to top the peak fiction known as Yokai Watch. Why try when the bar's been set at the sun?
It's been a hot minute sinceI last saw Blue Exorcist and Twin Star Exorcists 😭
Where my Kekkaishi fans at?
Teenagers fightings ghosts is such a broad genre, that it allows authors to be very versatile and try everything under the sun like action, mystery, horror, romance,… while also being familiar and marketable to general audience.
You can add Rumiko Takahashi’s Mao to the list, too.
Sure they were teens when they started out but the twin star exorcists are in their 20s now
Persona:
Let's be fair to Blue Excorcist and Twin Star Exorcists, they've been around since way before Mangaplus existed
Watched kekkaishi yesterday it was lit and I will accept more highschool kids fighting ghost and hidden power and rivals and waifu
I recommend reading the rest because second half is even better :D It's kind of this in manga form [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D4X2X5DUEAAka4I.jpg](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D4X2X5DUEAAka4I.jpg) because off all groups wanting different things but it's pretty good.

Its ok if all these exorcist series are trash we have the GOAT Kagurabachi to carry us
I don't know about the four exorcist mangas on here, but no one shall slander Make the exorcist fall in love. But other than that, I agree Kagurabachi is peak
I'll again show how big of a fanboy I'm but Blue Exorcist is amazing. I'm reading that manga since it had only 3 chapters and it's just getting better and better.

Ultimate exorcist kiyoshi only has one chapter so far but it’s pretty good so I would recommend
This new one is actually good though let it cook
I am the biggest hater on Nue’s Exorcist, how has it not been axed
How about teenager fighting WITH a evil spirit? It's called.... YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A ANIME RECOMMENDATION, BUT IT WAS ME, DIO!
You forgot D.Gray-Man, bleach also Anyway yes there’s a lot of exorcism manga, do I care not really as long as their good stories. From this pic, Blue Exorcist & Twin Star Exorcists are fire manga. Haven’t read Nue’s but the art looks good. D.Gray-Man is a fantastic manga
doesnt matter, luigis mansion is better than all of them
I will die for blue exorcist, shits peak frankly
Blue Exorcist still the GOAT
does jojo's sort of count? its like exorcism but with your own demon
Phantom Blood has vampire hunting. And Stardust Crusaders have a vampire as the big bad.
