Where Does Blue Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati Saga End in the Manga?

The Return of the Blue Flames

After a long hiatus, Blue Exorcist returned with the "Shimane Illuminati Saga" (Season 3), adapting one of the most emotional and betrayal-filled arcs in the series. If you want to know what happens to Rin and Yukio as they dig deeper into their mother's past and the secrets of the Vatican, you need to pick up the manga at Chapter 65.

This starts in Volume 15.

The Detail in the Art: Kazue Kato is a perfectionist when it comes to the art of Blue Exorcist. The backgrounds, the religious symbolism, and the demon designs are incredibly intricate.

Starting from Volume 15, the story begins to piece together the events of "Blue Night"—the night Rin and Yukio were born. This is arguably the best part of the entire series, filled with mystery and high-stakes drama that feels much more grounded and impactful in the manga’s pacing. Unlike the first season of the anime, which had an original ending, the manga follows a very specific, carefully planned path that leads to an epic conclusion.
