  <\/p>\n

  The world of humans, Assiah, is separated by the world of demons, Gehenna. Satan, the main antagonist of the series, had children with a human woman so he could create a vessel suitable for him to use in the human world.<\/p>\n

  After the death of their surrogate father at the hands of Satan, Rin and his brother Yukio, enroll in the True Cross Academy to train and become Exorcists to defeat their father and his evil plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n
