Other than knowing it was a bullet-hell shmup series featuring ...

This volume is, as happens with introductory books, mostly set up for Masahiro’s eventual understanding of himself. ― Due to the vagaries of English localization, you may not immediately associate this with its parent series: The Teen Exorcist is a manga reworking of the light novel series Shonen Onmyoji, which clocks in at an impressive fifty-six volumes.

Mostly that comes down to the fact that the novels tend to be at least one hundred pages longer than your typical light novel, if not more, and the novels have been the greater part of what's been officially released in English, both digitally and physicall...
