    Read this manga a while back but don’t remember the name at all.

    It was about this kid who got his mother killed by Yokai(I think it was Yokai, I just remember they were some sort of evil japanese spirits) and develops a hate for them all. It shows his backstory then cuts to when he’s a teen. He’s then told by his grandfather or father to live with this girl who has a bunch of these spirits that also live with her and protect her as family. He’s supposed to learn that not all these spirits are evil and need to die and they think living with this girl will help him learn that.

    The basic premise of the story was that he’s a pretty strong exorcist but destroys these spirits without regard due to his hate for them, and this girl is supposed to help change his outlook.

    It was a pretty good action manga from what I remember.

    pls help

    Haven't actually read it before, but sounds like Twin Star Exorcists?

    nope, it definitely isn’t Twin Stars. The manga I’m looking for wasn’t as popular as Twin Stars from what I remember tbh
