I’m actually sad I finished this. I’d been beating around the bush for so long, scared to find out how it all went down…I’m glad I powered through it.
I’d heard from a lot of friends that the ending left something to be desired, but I liked it. Sure, the story felt a bit rushed at times, and I wish there had been more time to flesh out some of the characters further, but the ending was solid.

This is so beautiful.
I’m so glad Tanijrou (and the others too) retained his injuries. For a second I thought his regeneration abilities as a demon would fix him up but ig it didn’t (tbh idk why it didn’t for him, but Nezuko was perfectly fine?)
I loved the way literally everyone joined in for the fight. Like not only the Hashiras, or even the regular Demon Slayer Corps members, even the Kakushi played an important role in defeating Muzan. The only ones who couldn’t join were the Swordsmiths but ig they’ve taken enough damage to their village.
I really wish Mitsuri and Iguro survived. They were so close to making it and yet. It really broke my heart, especially Kaburamaru being all alone :((
I’m glad Himejima got some closure in the end. For only Giyuu and Sanemi to survive… man I guess the Hashiras really are people who would die so the others could live.
I really don’t understand what Sanemi’s limbo thingy was? His dad dragged his mom to hell?? Wtf was that?
My only tiny complaint about this is the last chapter. While it was very beautiful in portraying the message, it also kinda felt a bit tacky with the whole reincarnation thing.
But otherwise, this whole journey was amazing. I genuinely don’t know why people hate on such a beautiful series. Something about the way the characters are drawn makes them feel so much more charming. I’m so so glad I made the decision to read the manga instead of waiting for the anime.

speechlessly perfect, achingly human, heartwrenchingly empathetic, the last volume of kimetsu no yaiba amazingly balances intense, brutal action w/ tear-jerking yet heartwarming emotional impact.
ive never cried so much reading a manga...or rly just a book overall? rereading - or even now, simply thinking abt - certain scenes still automatically brings tears to my eyes, such is the impact of the whole series' culmination of characters, story, and themes. even my knowing the major spoilers beforehand doesnt negate my experience of the story, as the journey - and all its accompanying flourishes - to the end makes it all so much more.
this book doesnt just hit me hard, it hits deep. what stuns me most is how hugely empathetic the story and its messages are: the miraculous feat of survival or simply being alive, familial bonds, the power of collective action, how there's wickedness but also utmost joy in the world. gotouge has immense empathy and hope for her characters, and reading the story she's crafted in turn heals me as well.
im waxing poetic here but im rly in my feels...now beyond my blathering: the major characters have gone through so much and it's great seeing their character growth (that tanjiro-in-limbo chapter's sth else) but also how they - specifically the quartet - have come full circle; the fights are ferocious and nail-bitingly intense; and while i still take issue w/ some of the paneling, composition and incontinuity, the art is detailed and at times beautiful, and it's amazing to see how far gotouge has come esp in terms of action scenes. while neither the story nor the art is perfect, put together they're a fantastic combination that powerfully drives the book's themes and emotional impact.
endlessly touching and remarkably hopeful, the 23rd and final volume of kimetsu no yaiba is a powerful, stirring, and poignant end to a series that will undoubtedly stay in my heart forever.
