Ao no Exorcist Special : 21

Sooo... I actually had plans to do this and the other bangaihen over the weekend but I got a pleasant surprise upon waking up on Saturday morning and so poof went those plans ^^; Basically, I've been busy getting acclimatized to being a global and working on other projects aaand other things. Anyway, here's the first bangaihen. If all goes well, the next one will be done within this week as well, as will Bakuman 123 which has been backlogged since like forever.
