Plot summary Make the Exorcist Fall in Love centers around an initially unnamed young priest (referred to simply as Mr. Priest by various characters), who from birth has been trained and abused by the Catholic Church to defeat demons, to the point that he follows the Bible literally and plucks out his own eye while fighting Asmodeus, the demon of lust. Advised by the priest's mentor that he is too self-sacrificial, the Church receives a message from Satan stating that he intends for the creator of "The Gallery of Evil"—an art exhibition featuring demons falling in love—to visit him in Gehenna. The priest is tasked by the Church to protect the artist, Imuri Atsuki, unaware that she is a succubus sent by Satan to fool the priest into falling in love with her, a goal that holds more challenges than it seems.
Characters
(2022 commercial) A 16 year old exorcist whose name is unknown. Raised as an orphan in a monastery, he endured continuous abuse and harsh training until another exorcist took him in. Regarded as the strongest exorcist, he possesses the ability to amplify and manifest Bible verses. Prior to the story, he had already repelled three of the seven demons named after seven deadly sins. While deeply devout in his Catholic faith, he has a sensitive side and prefers spending time cooking in the kitchen over exorcising. Consequently, he agrees to take on a mission to Japan to protect Imuri in an effort to understand the true meaning of love.
(2022 commercial) An 18 year old painter, she is cheerful and casual with others. Despite dropping out of high school, her income ranks in the top 3% in Japan. Her artwork themed around "demons in love" is renowned worldwide, which leads to her being targeted by demons and placed under the protection of Mr. Priest. Her true identity is lilin, the first original succubus. Although devoid of demonic magic, she was tasked by Satan to ensure his resurrection by making Mr. Priest fall in love and fall from grace. However, she secretly believes that humans and demons can coexist, and she gradually develops feelings for Mr. Priest's reckless devotion to protecting her and others.
