The Blue Exorcist Volume 1 Review

Before I start I'll just clarify. This is not a review of "The Blue Exorcist" manga, this is just a review of the volume that you buy. Basically does the volume give you reason to go and spend your not so hard earned birthday money on. Now on with the review.
                        This is volume 1 of "The Blue Exorcist" It contains chapters 1-3. That may not seem like much but remember that these chapters are all like 42 pages a piece, so if it was a "One Piece" volume it would have 6 chapters. In case you forgot chapter 3 ends with Shiemi on her first day in school. Now onto extras that you won't get by reading online.
                                                                  Here be the cover art.

Nice Little Picture of Rin goin all blue flamey.

      There is nothing I noticed that was extra anywhere inside the main volume, (i.e. SBS in onepiece) But after the end of chapter 3 there is a entire little section titled Extras. First in this section are some little bio stats on different charecters giving the info of things like age, birthday, weight, blood type, avg. hours of sleep, hobbies, favorite manga genres, and favorite type of girl. (or boy in shiemi's case) The charecters featured are Rin, Yukio, Mephisto, Shiemi, and Shiro. Then there is a "Illistrated guide to Demons." The Demons featured are: Satan, Gehenna Gaate, Goblin, Dekalp, and Coal Tar. Each has a little picture and a little blurb on them. Then last but not least some early sketches of stuff. Most of the extras are pretty standerd but they are still there. Which is to say that it certainly dosn't stand out from most other manga, BUT its better than some that do next to nothing.

                            This volume (like almost all manga volumes) costs $9.99 so its not super expensive but its not just crap money, thats 10 days worth of Mcdonalds pops. So I would say that if you really like the manga then its a good buy, but if "The Blue Exorcist" is nothing more than just another manga you read, probebly not a great buy.

P.S. I think that I'm going to try and do one of these weekly, A lot will be of the same series (hello 50+ One Piece volumes) but I'll try and mix it up a little. Also its not all manga I'll throw in some Anime occasionally. But do remeber that I've got to buy the things if I'm reviewing it, so there will not be a million different series featured. Mainly just my favs.
