Make the Exorcist Fall in Love Chapter 114: Release Date, Recap, and Fan Theories

If you’ve been following Make the Exorcist Fall in Love (Ekusoshisuto o Otosenai) week by week like I have, then Chapter 113 probably hit you like a truck—and not in a flashy shonen way, but in that slow, suffocating, emotional damage kind of way. Now, with Chapter 114 around the corner, the community (Reddit, Discord, and honestly everywhere else) is buzzing with theories, dread, and cautious excitement.

Let’s break it all down—from release timing to what I personally think is coming next.

Chapter 114 Release Date & Time

According to official sources like Manga Plus and the series wiki, Chapter 114 is scheduled for April 15, 2026 (00:00 JST).

Here’s how that translates globally:

The manga sticks to a biweekly release schedule, so this timing lines up perfectly with previous drops.

Chapter 113 Recap — “Anti-Heroine” Broke Me

I’m not exaggerating—this chapter was one of the darkest we’ve gotten so far, and that’s saying a lot.

Instead of pushing the current timeline forward, we dove deep into Vasilisa (Lisa) and her past. And wow… it wasn’t pretty.

What stood out the most:

• Lisa’s Rebellion Against a “Happy Ending” — While others accepted their roles (even forced ones), Lisa refused. She didn’t want a pre-written life, even if society labeled it “happy.” That alone already sets her apart from characters like Sarah.
• Betrayal by the Church — The people who were supposed to represent goodness ended up being the ones who broke her. And the worst part? It wasn’t random. Satan actively orchestrated it.
• Angelo’s Role Hits Different Now — Angelo wasn’t just “a good guy.” He was dangerous to Satan precisely because he was genuinely kind. That makes his existence a threat in a world where corruption is the norm.
• The Birth of a Witch — Lisa didn’t become Vasilisa because she wanted power. She became a witch because the system left her no other path.

That final emotional beat was absolutely devastating. You could feel the inevitability of her fall.

Fan Theories for Chapter 114 (And My Take on Them)

The fandom has been cooking up some intense theories, and honestly, some of them feel too accurate to ignore.

Satan Isn’t Just Evil—He’s Strategic

One of the most popular takes right now is that Satan doesn’t control everything—he just interferes at the worst possible moments. Instead of brute force, he waits for fragile situations, nudges events just slightly, and lets humans destroy themselves.

If Chapter 113 showed us anything, it’s that Lisa’s tragedy wasn’t just fate—it was engineered timing.

My take: Chapter 114 might shift back to the present and show how Satan is currently pulling the same strings around Father-kun.

Father-kun Is Getting Dangerously Close to Breaking

This is the one that worries me the most. We’ve seen hints that his powers are tied to repression and belief, and the more human he becomes, the more unstable he gets.

Now imagine he learns the full truth about the Church’s past, including what happened to Lisa. That’s not just a crack in faith—it’s a complete collapse waiting to happen.

• Mental breakdown
• Loss of powers
• Or even a darker transformation

Imuri — Savior or Silent Destroyer?

Imuri is probably the most divisive character right now. On one hand, she’s protected Father-kun and shown real emotional depth. On the other, she was introduced as Satan’s pawn, and her presence alone seems to destabilize everything.

Some fans believe she doesn’t need to betray him—just being close to him is enough to ruin him.

My take: Chapter 114 might finally clarify her intentions—or make things even more ambiguous.

Lisa as the “Anti-Heroine” Mirror

The title of Chapter 113 wasn’t random. Lisa represents what happens when resistance fails and what Father-kun could become if pushed too far. She’s not just a character—she’s a warning.

Chapter 114 will likely return to the present timeline and show how Lisa’s perspective impacts the current conflict.

The Classic “Calm Before Disaster” Setup

If you’ve been reading this manga long enough, you know the pattern: emotional devastation, brief calm, and then immediate chaos.

We just experienced the emotional low point, so the next chapter might offer a short breather—possibly an emotional moment between Father-kun and Imuri—before everything collapses again.

Final Thoughts — This Arc Is Peaking Hard

The Wrath arc is shaping up to be one of the best and most painful arcs in the entire series.

What makes this manga stand out isn’t just the supernatural elements—it’s the psychological weight behind every decision. No one is purely good, no one escapes consequences, and every choice feels like a trap.

Chapter 113 didn’t just give us backstory—it redefined everything we thought we knew.

Now Chapter 114 has a massive role to play: move the present timeline forward, deliver on the emotional buildup, and possibly push Father-kun past the point of no return.

Personal prediction: we’re about to see a turning point—not just action, but a deep character shift that changes the direction of the story entirely.

And honestly, I’m not sure we’re ready for it.
