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.

an adventurous, startlingly violent, oft humorous tale w/ great emotional beats and memorable characters - tanjiro wholesome best boy!! - though the art can look a bit wooden at times, but im sure this will improve as the story progresses.

kimetsu no yaiba is also refreshingly family-centric and esp non-misogynistic, a seemingly low bar but significant feat in shounen, undoubtedly the author's identity being an important factor. this series is the first that got me from anime to manga instead of the other way around, and im excited to see how the og goes (and ends!).

 I don't really know how to properly rate this. This is outside the wheelhouse of the type of manga I usually read, but it was very interesting. I really appreciate the compassionate nature of the main character and I think it can lead to a lot of cool things thematically. The pacing did throw me off some, but I don't know if that's a book thing or a me thing since I'm not used to reading more action-oriented manga.
