鬼滅の刃 1 [Kimetsu no Yaiba 1] by Koyoharu Gotouge

3.0

3.5 - I’ve seen this around while searching for shonen manga online and probably have had it recommended to me multiple times by a few people. I’ve just recently got around to reading it and I can see why they liked it.

It’s good, just similar to other manga I’ve read. I found it predictable. It’s charming, for sure. I just wish I had came across this earlier in my otaku career. A good description of this would be “bland but trying not be.”

I’m not sure about their pacing. It’s stop and go, which works in the overall plot, but not very well in the first volume.

I do like the author’s art style and their overall story so I’ll be continuing it.
