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!).
