Rasetsu Vol 1 Chika Shiomi 9781421527505 Books

I am always looking for manga featuring more mature characters, as I'm burned out on the high school stuff. This book was quite entertaining and features a thankfully older heroine and hero. The heroine is an exorcist and she has been cursed by a demon to either find her true love or become his mate when she turns 20. She works for a exorcism agency. When the library hires her and a cute co-worker to exorcise a book, she meets a male librarian who she finds quite attractive... Could he be the one? The book is basically about her job, exorcism and her zany/intriguing co-workers.

What can I say? I loved it. The book's characters are endearing, the artwork beautiful and this is geared towards adults, which I like without being... At least in this issue, porny. I liked it, and have bought the second book in the series.

Rasetsu Vol 1 Chika Shiomi 9781421527505 Books Reviews

For those that may not know Rasetsu is a spin off story from the series Yurara. It is not really necessary to read Yurara before Rasetsu because the tie in is explained in Rasetsu.

That said on with the review . . .

Rasetsu appears to be just as much fun as its predecessor. The blend of quirky office moments, a touch of horror, and supernatural suspense keeps the reader entertained and engaged. The characters are interesting to see develop. The individual supernatural powers are different. Granted there is the usual I can see ghosts bit, but other powers are an exception from the norm. For instance, one character can speak a word or phrase such as "shut up" and the effected person cannot speak. Another character hugs people in order to discover what problem the person has come to the agency with.

My only complaint with the work is that it is predicitable. Our heroine has been marked by a demon who will kill her so that she will be his on her 20th birthday. The only way to stop this? Find her true love - how Disney. And by the first volume we know which bishouen character that is.

Also plot so far is rather episodic. It is just one ghostly job after another. However in the last chapter there is a rather interesting development that can only be determined if you have read Yurara. If this development is what I think it is then the work isn't focusing on our heroine. I hope that my guess is right because that would make the plot that much more interesting.

The art is pretty to look at and is standard for most shojo manga.
Rasetsu is supposed to be finishing up high school, but instead she works full-time as an exorcist. From a young age, she was able to see spirits, and something very traumatic happened when she was 15. A demon captured her, wrestled her to the ground, and put a tattoo-like mark of a rose on her chest, saying it symbolized that she belonged to him. He promised to come collect her when she turned 20.

The only way around this is if she finds her one true love.

Now Rasetsu is 18 and an excellent demon fighter. She easily takes care of ghosts and hauntings. However, the demon who threatened her is often on her mind. How will she find her one true love?

Well, there are at least two possible candidates working in the same exorcism company she is. The first would be her coworker Kuryu, a tall, friendly psychic who has a special power with words. The second would be Yako, a former librarian and psychic who only recently became an exorcist. Right now, Yako seems to be the more likely candidate (though I personally prefer Kuryu). But if either man is her one true love, some things are going to have to change.

So far, the romantic element of Rasetsu is in the background, weaving in with the supernatural front story but not overtaking it. I think this works out really well. It reminds us that Rasetsu will have to figure something out before her twentieth birthday (either finding the right guy or defeating the demon another way) without bogging down the story with "Is it him or isn't it?" excess. Rasetsu herself is a delightful heroine. She's sassy and has a sweet tooth, and she always manages to get the job done.

Rasetsu is a really fun manga, great for fans of shojo, supernatural stories, or even romance (though the romance is in the backseat). Viz labels it as Older Teen, but inside the book the mangaka says it's really aimed for adults. So, technically I would say it's an adult book, since that's the author's opinion, but it'd easily get an audience of teenagers as well. Libraries ought to take a look. The art is very attractive, just as the characters in it are attractive. (We can't have a shojo manga without good-looking characters, it seems.) This series is off to a very promising start.

I was very skeptical about this manga but actually this one of the best I've picked up to read and can't wait for the next volumes to be available! Girls you will not regret picking up this manga! Great characters, amazing detail, great story line and I get a kick out of the romance comedy!! Haha this is the best !
