This volume took a bit longer to finish then I would have hoped. The plot was exciting but it seemed to drag on a bit for me.

I am glad to have returned to Demon Slayer after a bit of a break. I am doing some refreshing and I have to say that I love the inclusion of Genya Shinazugawa. He is such a great character from a horribly traumatic past, and is dealing with living in the shadow of his older brother who is the current Wind Pillar. It is also fucking sick to see a guy running around and fighting with a sword and a goddamn double-barreled shotgun. I also thought that the demon transformation was really fucking cool to see, as I didn't expect it. The character shading of being completely ignored by an older, more esteemed sibling really adds some depth to Genya's character that I hope that they continue to build upon. 

The Upper Rank Four Demon Hantengu and Upper Rank Five- Gyokko are extremely imposing because of the way in which they divide and conquer. Gyokko's sadism is fucking terrifying, and it is something that truly gives the distinction between humans and demons. 

The action scenes are fucking awesome in this, very vivid and fluid. I love reading this stuff, man. One thing that I appreciate is that Nezuko (goated) is as much a main character as Tanjiro. Where in other anime and manga she would be played as a damsel in distress, in this one she fucks people up and gets fucked up. When she enters the full demon mode, that is so goddamn cool. I also like that Tanjiro's growth as a Demon Hunter is continuously growing and illustrated amazingly.

Some of the fight scenes were a bit difficult to follow; I can’t wait for the anime to cover it! I also am excited to see more of what the hashira and upper 4 & 5 can do. A cliffhanger ending to this volume!!

this volume has some nice character development, esp for tanjiro in terms of battle acumen. however, the fight scenes can seem wooden at times, and the paneling + movement incontinuity remain a major issue that dampen the story's impact. also a lil weird that hantengu, despite being an upper rank 4, doesnt seem too intimidating for some reason. cant wait to see how this will get animated tho.
