This is my first review and english isn't my first language so don't judge me too harshly.

I first read this manga in 2018 around July but stopped at around chapter 20. Not because I didn't enjoy it but it just didn't grab my interest. Then the anime announcement came and people started hyping it up and saying how good it was. The first episode of the anime came out and I decided to pick it up again.

Now. The first 20-26 chapters aren't that good. They don't really keep you hooked to find out what happens next chapter. Where it really finds it pace is around chapter 30 so try to get at least that far if you can.

Story 8/10
The story isn't very complex but i feel it doesn't have to be. This is a story about hunting demons and that is it. The later arcs have interesting premises to them in my opinion and it does progress very well.

Art 7/10
First off. The art isn't the best. It's very unique and i personally like it but i can see people who really care about their manga having a specific kind of artstyle being put off by it. If you don't have a problem with the artstyle or are only a little put off by it, bear with it. You'll get used to it eventually.

Characters 8/10
The characters are definitely one of the highlights of KnY. All of the main cast are very likeable and you really start to care for them. The supporting and side characters are also very well done. There might be characters that you hate but upon learning more about them you start to sympathize or even start to like them. You really connect with many of the characters.

Enjoyment 9/10
Really enjoyed it. Don't know what else so say.

One thing i wanna say is the that the fights are one of my favorite things about this manga. The fights at the beginning might not be much but the later fights are really great. You really feel like they are life and death situations and see how brutal they are.

Overall 8/10
i really recommend this manga to anyone looking for a great shounen to read. Like i said the early chapters might not be the best but if you get through them you are in for a great ride.
