Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Vol. 12 by Koyoharu Gotouge
5.0
Words cannot express how happy I am to finally read this volume! I've been waiting for two months now, but it was worth it!
Following the trend of "Hashira was really one-dimensional when introduced but is interesting now," Kanroji is fucking adorable and I love her! I know it's easy to get on her case because she's a woman and only joined the Demon Slayers Corps to find a strong husband, but I really enjoy her bright and bubbly personality. Also, it's very obvious that she takes her job seriously (she's a Hashira, after all) and she has gained wisdom from her work, so she isn't some flighty, immature young woman looking to get hitched.
On the other hand, I'm conflicted about how I feel about Tokito. I get the feeling his backstory will flesh him out, but as it stands I don't like him that much. I did like his talk with Tanjiro before the demon attacked because it was the rare moment when he wasn't being an asshole, but he's definitely my least favorite Hashira so far.
Speaking of conversations, I fucking LOVE how Tanjiro is completely unfazed by Genya's hatred towards him. Also, it took Genya LITERALLY KICKING HIM OUT to get Tanjiro to leave him alone. Tanjiro is such a great person, but boy is he dense. Finally, Inosuke's reaction to Tanjiro regaining consciousness was HILARIOUS. He is a fucking wackjob but I love him anyway,
That's all I've got for now. Moving on to volume 13!
