And, honestly, it's too bad. The action scenes were pretty well done. And I like exorcist type stories. This had a lot of good points to it. But these two were sticking points that bugged me.

And I'm not going to keep reading something that bugs me. Done it before, a waste of my time.

Okay, I'm dropping Nue's Exorcist. There's been a few red flags for me that are either just not so cliche to be not funny or potentially concerning.

The first, practically every one of these four chapter has done the gag of Yajima shoved against a buxom teenage girl's breasts. Like "ha ha the boy's face is smooshed against boobs" - just...it's tired.

Second, the ghost (Yue) who is trying to help Yajima beat back the other spirits 1) has a crush on him & 2) keeps wanting him to call her his sister. That's...unsettling & offputting.

So yea, that's a drop for me.

Nue's Exorcist - Solid second chapter. There were some potentially red flags, but overall still nicely done.

Nue's Exorcist - Okay, so first chapter of a new series. It kicks off by introducing us to Gokuro Yajima who sees spirits. Also, his Dad was murdered by a spirit.

Then he meets Nue - a spirit who hangs around in a school classroom playing video games / playing manga. She has some ulterior motive, I'm sure, but she is tied to the school and offers powers to Gokuro to defeat some problematic spirits in the school.

Eventually he says yes. And the chapter ends with the premise set.

Okay, I'm down to try this out.
