I finished the anime and was already impressed with the direction in which ufotable was taking the series. I decided that i did not want to wait for the story to continue so i read the manga from the point in which the anime had left off. I found an amazing character driven, and at some points emotional thrill ride which i had never experienced in a shounen battle series. As the plot moved on and condensed, I saw characters change and develop in ways i never would have expected whilst watching the anime. The fights contained not only amazing art, but really allowed me to see the characters intentions more clearly. A great example of this was the fight between Akaza, Tanjiro and Giyuu. Gotouge highlighted Akaza's experience and really allowed me to sympathise with him. I think that Akaza may just be one of the best written villains in shounen and i do not say that lightly. At the same time, I found other characters' arcs to be underwhelming. A really good example of this was upper moon 2, Domu. Instead of being able to experience his full power and characteristics, he was weakened and presented as a complete psychopath. I was hoping to have seen just as much from him as I saw with Akaza but he was gone within just 5 chapters. When it comes to the series's current point in the story, I have been absolutely blown away with what i have experienced. I think that chapter 201 will trend even more than episode 19 when it finally airs in the anime. Kimetsu No Yaiba is one of the best shounen battle series of the past couple of years and I can't wait to see where Gotouge takes the series next.
