Humans and demons are two sides of the same
coin, as are Assiah and Gehenna, their respective worlds. The only way
to travel between the realms is by the means of possession, like in
ghost stories. However, Satan, the ruler of Gehenna, cannot find a
suitable host to possess and therefore, remains imprisoned in his world.
In a desperate attempt to conquer Assiah, he sends his son instead,
intending for him to eventually grow into a vessel capable of possession
by the demon king.
Ao no Exorcist follows Rin Okumura who appears to be an ordinary,
somewhat troublesome teenager—that is until one day he is ambushed by
demons. His world turns upside down when he discovers that he is in fact
the very son of Satan and that his demon father wishes for him to
return so they can conquer Assiah together. Not wanting to join the king
of Gehenna, Rin decides to begin training to become an exorcist so that
he can fight to defend Assiah alongside his brother Yukio.

predators called Yoma. These demonic beasts feast on human innards and
can blend into human society by taking on human appearance. As a counter
force, a mysterious organization created half-human, half-Yoma warriors
known as the "Silver Eyed Witches" or "Claymores," after the huge
claymore swords they carry. They are detested by humanity however
necessary.
The story begins with a young boy, Raki, who has lost everything in a
Yoma attack, and the Claymore, Clare, who is generally detested by
society. Throughout the series, Clare and Raki show their deeper
qualities, powers and Clare's never ending devotion to the goal she
swore to fulfill in her childhood.
