while I don't hate zenitsu as much as many other people do... I forgot how uncomfortable he makes me sometimes, especially in his introduction. on the bright side, at least we've been somewhat introduced to inosuke, even if his manga design unsettles me a bit.

I loved the tsuzumi mansion plot in the anime, so I was elated going into this volume knowing what it would entail, however I've got to say I prefer its depiction in the anime as opposed to the manga. the anime's production quality and sound design made the scenes in the mansion so much more eerie and immersive than its manga depiction, and that final action sequence was really difficult to follow without the anime's animation.

despite my grievances, I still really enjoyed this volume and it's definitely my favourite so far. off to the next one!

Man, this series is so addicting to read!! I am loving the introduction of the characters. I don't think that I will do reviews for each of the tankobon, but, shucks this is great! 
The demons are specifically fucking awesome in their illustration. They are the right balance, to me, of being scary as shit while also being disturbing and cool looking.  The action is great, and much like other favorite action oriented manga- Tanjiro doesn't feel like an unstoppable force. I like that he is starting as a learning pupil and I feel as though he will become an absolute monster in the future.  I also loved the introduction of Zenitsu Agatsuma. His whole character of being a scaredy cat until he falls asleep and then is an absolute badass is so funny. I really feel like this series is going to have some really fantastic character moments and I for one am very excited for it.

the volume that officially introduces the trifecta! it's great finally seeing zenitsu and inosuke, w/ the former providing much comic relief. we also see tanjiro's growth in fighting techniques, and presented to new ones w/ the new characters, though the paneling could still improve a lil. as always, tanjiro and nezuko are my precious best boi and gal.
