She is kind hearted for the most part but then can also be rather snippety and crude though still keeping her lady-like manner (mostly).Īyako is a 23 year old shinto priestess who is rather wealthy because she is the daughter of a doctor. Then there is Masako who is a famous spirit medium with a lot of knowledge under her belt on the spiritual realm.

I understand why people wouldn’t get it (hell, I didn’t get it at first either) but it gave a bit more insight to his character. John started by talking in a Kyoto dialect when the others asked him not to be so formal. When someone speaks really formal or uses a different dialect, they may make fun of that person. This gets into the mindset of Japanese when they see foreigners. Anyway, the manga has a bit more fun with his character because he’s a foreigner from Australia. In the anime though, I believe they had said that you have to be ordained as a priest for it to happen. It’s surprising because he’s only 19 years old and is already ranked higher then a priest. John Brown is the Exorcist within the church. When we start talking about characters, we have an interesting mix. I do suggest though that you do read the manga and maybe even before watching the show because of the fact of only two of the books not being animated. The manga so did not finish the anime and then the second is the one that I think happened, that they ran out of time or money to create the last few episodes. There are two possibilities to the reason why this is, the first is that they wanted people to read Only the last two were not in the anime which makes me wonder just what they were trying to do. Sadly though, 10 of the 12 volumes were extremely close to the anime with only a few exceptions. The manga and the anime practically start out the same way, though the manga seemed to have a bit more depth to the characters and stories. After becoming a fan of the show, I thought I should check out the manga and as I read, I wasn’t disappointed.
