Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Vol. 12 by Koyoharu Gotouge

4.0

We are halfway in the series! 11 volumes more to go, eep! In this one Tanjiro recovers, then visits the town of the swordsmiths (which had me laugh how that was done, I mean, I get it being secret, but all that effort? And then given the ending.. ). I wasn't happy to see Tanjiro's swordsmith again, I mean, that dude gets ANGRY at Tanjiro in a way that just rubs me wrong and for all the dumb reasons. I mean, swords are NOT supposed to break or chip that easily. And given that more people have problems with his swords/his attitude, it surprises me that he can still be a smith. But thankfully there is plenty of great other stuff happening, though the new kid was a bit annoying. He started off OK, but then went in some kind of mode that just rubbed me wrong, what is up with these people in this town? We also meet Genya and Mitsuri Kanroji! And later someone else. I loved seeing these though Genya. Please. Stop being deredere. XD The ending was exciting and OMG I need to read on!
Oh, and I love how Tanjiro stays kind and friendly and polite even in scary situations.
