Shonen Jump Resurrects a Controversial Genre With an Interesting Twist
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Make The Exorcist Fall in Love chapters 11 and 12!
A manga called Make The Exorcist Fall in Love available on Shonen Jump's spinoff online-only publication is resurrecting the controversial harem genre. It's been years since the weekly flagship manga anthology published a series, like High School DxD, that falls into this genre.
Published in Shonen Jump+ in Japan and MANGA Plus internationally, Make The Exorcist Fall In Love didn't start out as a normal harem, and it's likely that the latest instances of this particular genre will be fleeting. The harem genre of manga and anime usually center around a group of female characters who travel or live with a male protagonist while vying for his romantic attention. Sometimes these girls are introduced all at once or they trickle in throughout the story. As of now,Make The Exorcist Fall In Love falls into the latter category. The titular little priest starts living with a girl named Imuri Atsuki to protect her because he thinks she's being targeted by Satan, when in actuality Imuri is in league with the Devil. But then the dynamics of their one-on-one relation start to change, therein introducing the twist.

But the sisters decide that they will all live together on an interim basis. By the end of the trial period, it's agreed that Imuri will choose whom she would like to live with and protect her for good.
