posted on by Joanna Cayanan
The November issue of Kadokawa's Young Ace magazine published on Friday the final chapter of Shikiji Sorakura's The Teen Exorcist (Shōnen Onmyōji) manga, the adaptation of Mitsuru Yūki's light novel series of the same title. The magazine also revealed that it will publish the manga's spinoff story in its next issue on November 4, and the manga's sixth and final compiled book volume will ship on December 4.
Yen Press licensed the manga and published the third volume in English on September 23. Yen Press describes the story:
Japan's Heian Period. Masahiro serves as a royal diviner just like his grandfather, the legendary Abe no Seimei. His dream isn't to follow in his grandfather's footsteps, though—it's to surpass him! During some intense training with his spirit companion, Mokkun, Masahiro notices an ominous presence targeting the princess...Can he protect the royal capital and escape from his grandfather's shadow?!
Sorakura launched the manga in Young Ace magazine in January 2023. Kadokawa published the manga's first volume in June 2023, and the fifth volume on June 4.
Kadokawa's Beans Bunko light novel imprint published the original light novels in 2001. The novels also inspired an anime series from Geneon Entertainment USA in 2006, and a musical stage play in 2007.
