tanjiro, you absolute gem of a human being. no one could ever make me hate you.
one thing I've always loved about demon slayer is how it humanises the demons without justifying or condoning their actions, and rui is no exception. his backstory is so tragic yet so beautifully written - he's without a doubt my favourite of the lower moons.
as for the rest of this volume, there's so much this instalment does well. it's so much more well-paced than the previous volumes, and I found the dialogue a lot less awkward and the action sequences were a lot easier to follow along with. while I do think the characterisation and character development needs more work, the characters themselves are so fun and wonderful that you can't help but love them. well, most of them. those spider demons still terrify me, and my feelings about zenitsu are more mixed than positive.
