Wow, what a way to end a series! There was nothing in this final battle arc of the last three volumes that totally surprised me (just made me cry) but it was a wild ride from start to finish. I'm really going to miss these characters. :,)

While I certainly had issues with the pacing at times, and the underutilization of the vast cast of characters, this series overall was amazing and I’m so glad I read it!

I don't even have anything coherent to say right now, really. But I will try my best regardless.

Words fail to describe how utterly sad I am that the series is over. I'm sad that only two of the hashira made it (excluding Tengen, he's kicking but retired obvi). I feel that Iguro and Mitsuri were a little overkill, he definitely could have just let them live dude. Even so it doesn't detract from my love for this series. 

The volume itself was amazing. I was very into seeing everyone's descendants and reincarnations still be in each other's world. To see that their families still kept the stories from when demons were alive. 

As for a short, simplified review for this series as a whole:

While not every volume was a perfect five star, I firmly believe that across them all the story was five stars. You may think I'm dickriding but I literally do not even care. This shit is better than One Piece. Come for me.

A more eloquent review may come one day, perhaps on YouTube or my WordPress. If that is the case I will link them here when such a thing comes out. 

My deepest, sincerest thank you goes to Gotouge. Most likely he will never read this. I'm okay with that. I just need to put it out there.

IT IS THE END! WHOO!!! Another series done~
OF COURSE.. Geez, getting out all the shounen "surprises" aren't we? This one was pretty exciting... well until THAT appeared and I was just like, OH GOOD LORD, just die already. Or well, not that person, but that other one. You will get it when you read.
The later 1/3 of the manga was much much better and I was so happy with it. Loved what happens next for everyone in the world and I love that we went further in time to go to the modern time and see what is up for the descendants of our characters! This just made me so happy. Especially for a certain couple who deserves a happy ending. And haha, I guess someone did end up charming Nezuko. XD
4 stars just because of the ending part!

This was a good manga, but I feel it could have been 4-5 volumes shorter and I would have enjoyed it more. With this final battle I am just not sure if I would want to watch the anime.
