Lol nice!! High score too. Glad you liked it. Most the ppl o stanned it to came out liking itI couldn't wait for the movie so I read all of Demon Slayer.
8/10, would whip again
Tamayo's poison made me think of "One more thing" tooI couldn't wait for the movie so I read all of Demon Slayer.

Yeah I thought it was just fantastic...until the lukewarm ending. My bored ass even when through the thread to see people's reactions to some of the final arc deaths/reveals. Genya was probably my favorite character. And what I imagine the most popular arc, the Red Light District, was my favorite. Muzan had so much swag but he wasted all his good will with his Johnny Test foley work in the last 15 chapters. And Demon Tanjiro was so fucking disappointing. Make him a demon, and have him stay that way until they find the Blue Flower or some shit. Don't pull that plotline out then turn him back in one chapter.
Also, that final chapter is TERRIBLE lmao
But overall I loved the manga. The fights are some of the best in the genre.

Yup pretty much in line with everybody else lol. And at this point if ya fav arc ain't the red light district id love to see somebody say so lol
That arc is gonna be glorious. I can't wait for the reactions when Gyutaro wakes Tanjiro up and is like "Bro y'all got washed and you passed out a few minutes ago"
I read this whole thing once it was up on the SJ app and shit is boring as hell. Characters are boring (mostly) some are just annoying, fights feel pretty standard and lack any impact, story is shallow af. The rushed feel to the ending, complete with body count of characters you barely know and have zero connection to, is bordering on shonen parody for how stock it is. Last chapter is hilariously bad.
I haven't watched the anime, but it def seems like it would be the best way to experience it, because outside of the visuals it's not very good.

They dead ass was kicking their asses the entire time lol

They gonna add a bunch of visual flair to hide the fact he only whipping and ima eat it up lol
Everyone came in clutch in that fight. I love how every fight pushes every character to their absolute limit. This is why the Kokushiki fight is best fight in the manga. Because it was 4v1 and they barely won

Yup everybody participates it ain't just Tanjiro cleaning everybody even with his flashback power up power that never seems to actually help him 😂😂😂
Maaan the oricon numbers are crazy, what the fuck. 45 million volumes sold in half a year? And OP (#2) sold like 3 million only?
Seriously, i don't get the extreme, desperate love for this manga. I fail to grasp it even more as days pass and i find more and more stuff to criticize from the series, from wasted potential in several characters, muzan, the weak worldbuilding...

It's a short solid manga that got a really good adaptation. It clearly doing it for them ppl don't think it's anything crazy to grasp or anything. It's not a one piece or a hunterxhunter for world building. It's a battle manga with just alil over 200 chapters with a simple plot that ppl can eat up
Yeah but that has been done to death, and with far weaker sales. Why this one specifically? The numbers are really incredible. Wonder if it's like a perfect storm scenario...

Anime has become way more mainstream, it instantly caught on around the world, its pretty much battle fast food, ufotable showed they asses off. Idk I just assume at this point the large majority of ppl like it. Cuz it's only so far an adaptation gonna carry you
Demon Slayer is popular because of the anime and the character designs being popular. The series being popular after the anime makes sense, but being as popular as it is compared to other popular stuff is where things get harder to understand.
Someone who just watched the anime and/or is buying back issues wouldn't know about any of that stuff.
There's only one Ufotable and even popular manga with strong animation don't blow up with this. It's not really that simple.
Yushiro going bonkers and becoming a killer is very appealing to me for some reason. Now that there are no more demon slayers how do they fight back?
Learn from zenitsu books.
Heck, Kiriya probably keeps an eye on yushiro.

I don't know that I'm ever gonna stop feeling kinda salty over how they handled Kanroji in that last arc. Had a great intro in the swordsmith's village, talked up as this superhuman, and then, push comes to shove, nada.

Which was really weird cuz like kanoa and shinobu did they thing. She had lil panels but it just wasn't enough
I disagree with a lot of your points to be honest, but I gained an added appreciation for the battles when I read some of the colored editions.. there's so much happening on the page usually that it's hard to really grasp it all sometimes, but this helped a lot.

Yeah, There a Colored editions For people who buy Jump Digital (Start with CH.140)

By "impact" I mean the feelings the fights playing out gave me vs how hard ass the fight is. They look cool, I just don't feel like they mean anything considering how shallow the characters/situations are. Showing me a melodramatic flashback to a character I barely know, as they die no less, is an emotional wet fart to me.
I was expecting her to think she was dying, but actually live, but nope. Guess they couldn't let half of the couple live.
That nezuko is a bit of nightmare fuel. It reminds me of Xenoblade Chronicles X's weird take on anime faces.

Can I just say that I very much appreciate the manga actually ending at it's logical conclusion? It's a bit of a rarity with shounen works. I wasn't a big fan of how the final chapter was handled though, felt a bit too happy.

Sabito really that character that just stuck in artists mind. So much fanart
Yeah it's been pretty surprising to me. But he does have a really good design.

That he does mask on or off it's just nice and simple but eye catching

Do we know how many more volumes there are to complete the whole series?
The new cover looks beautiful, by the way. Glad the two of them got their own cover. ❤️
