00:00Today, we're talking about a brand new manga made by a student of Ichiro Oda, the creator of One.
00:05Piece.
00:06Anyway.
00:06And the work in question is Ultimate Exorcist Kiyochi, which comes from the publishing house Kaze.
00:12So, what's this new shonen manga, promoted by Ichiro Oda himself, about?
00:17We follow Kiyoshi Arai, the most powerful of the exorcists.
00:21Since his family was massacred by a demon, he has never stopped training.
00:25For him, losing another loved one or letting someone else experience the same tragedy was out of the question.
00:30than him.
00:30Today, at the ripe old age of 16, he is finally ready to accomplish his very first mission.
00:35However, there's a slight problem: in addition to being extremely shy, Kiyoshi is a complete coward.
00:41This marks the beginning of a brand new series of exorcisms that are as thrilling as they are dramatically funny.
00:46Well, that's the summary you find pretty much everywhere in many media outlets.
00:49I kept it extremely simple, I admit.
00:51But let's not kid ourselves, when I received this press kit, I was expecting something completely different.
00:57I'm a little disappointed.
00:58When I'm presented with an ultra-shy and cowardly hero, I was really expecting something much more
01:02pushed.
01:03A character completely paralyzed in the face of enemies, barely able to act, or even a guy who can vomit from fear.
01:09But actually, that's not the case at all, like really not at all.
01:13Kiyoshi may be portrayed as extremely shy, but in fact, we realize that he has
01:16He does have a large circle of friends and quite a few other people around him.
01:19He eventually speaks to others quite easily, and his fear is overcome fairly quickly.
01:23Afterwards, I read that in volume 1, perhaps the fear will be heightened in the following volumes.
01:28But for now, for a manga that's marketed on this basis, I find it very lightweight and
01:32overcome very quickly.
01:33And finally, another exorcism manga, really?
01:45So I know that in Japan, the obsession with spirits, ghosts, yokai, or exorcism, c
01:51It's kind of their thing, it's their obsession.
01:52But damn, another new manga that's about exorcism, demons, and ghosts again.
01:57That's a lot, because the latest manga, after all, they're only talking about that, actually.
02:01Is it being reviewed again?
02:03Otherwise, the artwork is excellent, the humor works well, the pacing is very good, the reading experience is enjoyable, and the
02:08The cutting is just super efficient.
02:10On the other hand, I'm being honest, for now, the manga, well, it hasn't won me over.
02:14So.
02:15However, where I was won over was by the work of the publishing house.
02:19Kasey, who has once again offered an extremely cool box set.
02:23It's not talked about enough, but in France, we have a very good chance of getting magnificent collector's editions.
02:28Just so you know, in Japan, they almost never have that, actually.
02:31Here we find a small, rigid collector's box shaped like a coffin, containing a t-shirt, a signet ring, and a jacket.
02:38collector, an acrylic stand and cool manga.
02:41It's, once again, way too good.
02:43It's well done, it's neat, it's clean, and once again, well, thank you Kasey for working on...
02:49collectors to this extent.
02:50And it's truly a real pleasure.
02:52I really love being straightforward, that's why I make the video.
02:55Because there's an incredible amount of work being done here, and that needs to be acknowledged.
