Kimetsu no Yaiba review

I'm going to keep this short because I don't think I'll ever be able to capture my thoughts and feelings about this manga correctly. I will not include any spoilers, so that is also going to be one of the reasons why I'll keep this short; I'm not even going to try to vaguely describe what I thought about the major story arcs. I do wonder what this series would've become if Gotouge would've been able to end it like they would've wanted to - I read that they were kind of forced to wrap the story up quickly because of some reasons. (from what I gathered, they were personal)

So, I got into this manga pretty late; the final major story arc had already begun, but thanks to this series being quite short, I easily read the +100 chapters in a week. It also helped that I knew what the start was going to be like since I already watched the anime; I already knew most of the characters, I already cared about them, I knew the setting and the world, so it was easy to get into it, even though the story moved surprisingly fast paced (compared to other shounen mangas I've read).

The story of Kimetsu no Yaiba is gripping, though at first I thought it was too cliché. Tanjiro, no matter what anyone says, is one of my favorite main characters ever because he's kind. I get that many people don't like that (for who knows what reason), or think that he's boring because he's kind, but in my opinion, it's his greatest quality. Despite everything, Tanjiro remains kind, he grows and changes, but he always remains who he is; a kind boy who loves his family. It's Tanjiro's kindness that makes the story of KnY so good; he is, in a way, rebelling against the world where literal demons exist. Kill demons? Okay, but we're gonna save the ones we can.

Tanjiro's willingness to listen, to help others is, in my opinion, the core of this series because in a cruel world where your loved ones die; people are out to get you; evil does its best to bring you down, being kind, even to those the world tries to convince you that they don't deserve kindness, is the most powerful thing in the world. It might even save it.
