Viz Media is releasing the manga in English and describes the story:
Raised by Father Fujimoto, a renowned exorcist, Rin Okumura has never known his biological father. One day, a fateful argument with Father Fujimoto forces Rin to face a terrible truth—the blood of the demon king Satan flows through Rin's veins! Rin vows to defeat Satan, but doing so means entering the mysterious True Cross Academy and becoming an exorcist himself. Can Rin fight demons while keeping his hellish bloodline a secret? It won't be easy, especially when drawing his father's sword will unleash the demonic power within him!
The manga inspired a 25-episode television anime series in 2011, and the Blue Exorcist: Kuro Runs Away From Home OAV also premiered in 2011. The Blue Exorcist film later premiered in Japan in December 2012. The Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga television anime premiered in 2017 and aired 12 episodes.
