Koyoharu Gotouge

鬼滅の刃 1

Tanjiro sets out on the path of the Demon Slayer to save his sister and avenge his family! In Taisho-era Japan, Tanjiro Kamado is a kindhearted boy who makes a living selling charcoal. But his peaceful life is shattered when a demon slaughters his entire family. His little sister Nezuko is the only survivor, but she has been transformed into a demon herself! Tanjiro sets out on a dangerous journey to find a way to return his sister to normal and destroy the demon who ruined his life. Learning to destroy demons won’t be easy, and Tanjiro barely knows where to start. The surprise appearance of another boy named Giyu, who seems to know what’s going on, might provide some answers—but only if Tanjiro can stop Giyu from killing his sister first!

Half a point off for the gooby art style, but the story is top tier!

Tanjiro is such a remarkable and amazing kid. Being the oldest among his siblings comes with such a heavy responsibility yet he still managed to do it. Amazing how every character in this manga has their own stories. Beutiful story, good plot build up and amazing friendships. I miss Muichiro. One of my best read last year.

** spoiler alert **
           The experience was... okay? There was nothing spectacular or particularly horrible about it. It was a surprising moment or two, but that was pretty much it.

After his family is murdered, the main character becomes a demon slayer and caretaker of his demon sister.

Despite the odd writing style, I appreciated it being a translation. In two chapters, diary-style writing almost ruined the vibes and seemed amateurish. There were also a few spelling errors; Tanjiro’s name was consistently spelled as Tanjirou in the last few chapters, but I put it down to translation issues.

It all moves at a reasonable pace, and the fights and such are brutal enough but also pretty flashy. Characters were also enjoyable, especially the dynamic between siblings. The art is well-done, and I'm curious to see how it will turn out. Despite not being entirely new and not blowing you away, it is a solid experience. An overall rating of 3.5. Looking forward to the next one.

Highly formulaic (tragedy, counterproductively harsh training, naming your moves). Pretty clean and 1D , even compared to Tezuka’s version of this exact story (Dororo).

I honestly was amazed with the layout of this book, by the end of it was waiting to see what happened next even though I knew (I watched the anime so I had a rough idea of what was gonna happen) but it was amazing!!

This just kind of sucked me in. They really set up the stakes and the different characters are genuinely unique and interesting.

Pretty amazing world building. Pretty good!

Sooo... what's a Kimetsu?

I loved the art and how the story went. I am curious on how is going to proceed though because it does remind me of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhod
