admittedly I've been referring to enmu as "that zesty train demon" for so long that I forgot he has an actual name. n e ways, apart from the pacing during that first chapter or two being rather atrocious, this volume was incredible! mugen train was my favourite arc in the anime, so it's no surprise that I ended up enjoying this as much as I did. I loved how psychological this was at times, especially with tanjiro's dream sequence (which was so gut-wrenching you could have stabbed me in the chest and ripped my still-beating heart right out of me and it would've hurt less), and it's why I find enmu himself to be such a fascinating villain. and we can't forget about my beloved rengoku! I forgot how much I loved him and how much of a wonderful character he is. his relationship with our main group is so pure and so, so fun.

and, of course, there's inosuke not knowing what a steam train is. iconic.

the brief genya cameo at the beginning of this volume was exciting (since he's one of my favourite demon slayer characters), but how much time has passed between final selection and the beginning of this volume? because puberty hit genya like a freight train. (no pun intended because. you know. train demon.)

Getting back into the manga, felt like this was almost the whole mugen train arc in one book

Aside from a bit of obnoxious humour at the beginning, it is full steam ahead once the antagonist appears. I do love a good dreamscape storyline.

There is a bit of demolition with the train, beheadings, vorarephobia, and exposed neck bones.

have to put a review in for this volume bc it shows a marked improvement in gotouge's art. the paneling could still be more varied, but it's indeed better. even compared to volume 6, the character drawing esp for rengoku is a cut above here. it all seems to flow rly well and goutouge's improvement not only in characters but scenery, action, dynamics, and tone are observable as well. in terms of story, it's adventurous, funny, and is surprisingly emotionally resonant. also, reading it i could understand why they made this arc into a movie.
