Blue Exorcist volume 17 is set to be released in Japan on July 4th, along with the August issue of home manga magazine Jump Square. At the same time, author Kazue Kato will be at LA's Anime Expo. And, the mystery timer on the series' anime website will run out. Well, thanks to an early look at what's being published, the reveal has leaked!

In 2017, Blue Exorcist is returning in a new TV anime, covering the Kyoto Impure King Arc.

The series was previously adapted into a 25 episode + OVA and movie series that ran from April 2011.

Bonus, Kato looking ahead to volume 17's release

I'll be at Anime Expo starting on 7/1! I'll be doing panels and signing autographs!

I'm getting worried that nobody will show up to the Anime Expo events, so please come by if you can! I'd really appreciate it!

I only know Japanese so I can't really react to my overseas fans, but I appreciate your fan letters so much. Thank you all!!
