He's a little too condescending in his attitude towards her, but his reaction when he though some other exorcist roughed her up made up for that. She, on the other hand, is about the cutest thing that's come up the pike for a long while. She is a total sweetheart. It makes me think of the oni girl in Tetsunagi Kooni. I love the Japanese manga that has to do with other than human interaction. I think it's because I've spent my adult years reading about Koko the gorilla, and understanding that octopi have the problem solving ability of young human children. (I refuse to eat takoyaki or other octopus dishes. It would feel like eating a human child.) As a somewhat elderly person (age 62) in the US, I fight hard to recognise those who have come from different ethnic backgrounds than I have. I hate bigotry and totally rigid thinking more than anything else I can think of. Children are to be cherished, and cultural difference is to be embraced (as long as it doesn't encompass the "Aunt Killing" mentioned in the book "Sapiens)."
Anyhow, I am really enjoying the story of the exorcist and the totally innocent demon girl. It's really nice.
