Have you been a fan of exorcists vanquishing demons? The thrill of bestowing divine justice while holding a gun loaded with bullets & holy water?

Raised by a famous exorcist, Rin Okumura paved his way to become a respected exorcist and ceased to be overshadowed by his prodigy twin brother. The day came when truth sprung up to the surface. Their father revealed his real identity; the blood of Satan ran in his veins. Torn between good and evil, he stood his ground and kept his goal to become an exorcist despite his blood. He swore to defeat Satan himself!
