kamado tanjiro you will always be loved by me <3

years after I basically swore that I'd never watch anime again (given my rotten luck with anime in the past), I spent the day with a friend only for her to sit me down and tell me "we're going to watch demon slayer now". barely two months later, we've finished watching up until the hashira training arc and I'm picking up a bunch of the manga volumes from the library. this is what a hyperfixation does to me.

while this first volume certainly isn't terrible, the pacing (particularly from around the halfway mark onward) isn't all that great, particularly when we see essentially two years go by within the span of a chapter or two. I'm not saying to portray every single event that may have unfolded during that time, but it certainly feels rushed and underdeveloped when we could have spent that time exploring things such as tanjiro's grief over losing his entire family. again, it's not bad by any means, but it's certainly wasted potential. regardless, I did enjoy this volume and I'm simultaneously excited and deeply terrified to continue.

Moderate: Gore

Lots of human-eating demons, and fighting of those demons, so plenty of violence, gore, and horror. Some demons have odd bodies, so some body horror as well.

It’s like a mash up between “Inuyasha” and “Naruto.”

This may be a triggering manga if you have taken care of a loved one in peril, or have witnessed the death of a family member.
