Su potencial.
Su estructura es rápida, sin rodeos, pero sin que se note que estuviera forzado o algo por estilo, dando a ello por las actos que le pasa a su familia del protagonista, también desde la primera etapa te muestra que es lo que tiene que llegar la trama, ahora refiriéndome con el encuentro con el villano no lo hace exceptivamente tan importante como lo hacen otros mangas y eso le hace hasta más original y su redacción lo hace muy bien, te da entender lo que esta pasando sin perderte entre imágenes, volviendo con el protagonista, es alguien pues que resulta algo para aliviar la trama y uno de los mejores aspectos de la obra de Gotouge es, precisamente, la construcción de su protagonista. Tanjiro es un joven vivaz, generoso y cuya bondad siempre está un paso por delante de él, para bien o para mal. Su construcción es simple, pero porque su vida también lo es (era). Carece de infantiles propósitos, sueños o atisbos de grandeza. Solamente quiere vivir lo más confortablemente posible con los suyos. Es una aproximación mucho más real a nuestras vidas. Además, no goza de ningún extraordinario poder —más allá de poseer un gran olfato— capaz de marcar la diferencia y hacerle despuntar desde una temprana edad. Es mucho más fácil llegar a empatizar con él y, cuando la tragedia invade su vida, comprenderle. Porque lo único que puede hacer es hacer acopio de la voluntad y recurrir a la ayuda de los demás y eso lo hace sentir fresco a la historia, pero, claro, esto es un viaje, una aventura de acción donde lo sobrenatural se manifiesta de la manera más mortífera posible. Donde la vida vale literalmente una mierda y la ausencia de ella es un compañero más del recorrido. También los personajes que le acompañan se complementan, no siente que ninguno estorba o retrasa a la trama y por ultimo quisiera agregar que los momentos de acción son emocionantes y no son uno tras uno, saben en que momento se dará, en fin eso sería toda mi opinión por ahora, abarcaría mucho más profundo, pero no quisiera dar spoilers.

Kimetsu no Yaiba review
{ My goal is to write reviews that don't take much time to read, yet get the point across, as well as being as spoiler-free as possible. Please be assured that you will learn nothing you can't already read in the synopsis unless mentioned priorly }

Breath-taking, marvellous, impeccable manga. No matter how hard I try to see any hint of imperfections I cannot.

For starters, the story. The plot had all sorts of twists and turns. I couldn't stop reading it once I got through the bit I had watched in the anime. You laugh, cry, and rage all at once. The events flow together and come as one. All the heart-wrenching moments and many many tears made it incredible in so many ways.

The art is divine. The backgrounds are jaw-dropping. Everything is so wonderfully illustrated it's hard to believe its real. When characters would bend their bodies in all sorts of ways, Koyoharu Goutouge somehow manages to still make it look amazing. The art style was stunning, differing from typical manga style yet still staying true to its roots as well. I loved how the eyes looked and the details that were put into every single frame.

The characters, what can I say. All their personalities were unique and varied. I loved how much of a dumbass Insouke was and how not all the demon slayers were "I wanna kill all demons" (Zenitsu) it brings the diversity into Kimetsu no Yaiba as a whole. The stories of each of the characters had me in tears basically the whole time I was reading it. For better or for worse they made the characters realistic. ex: a guy lost his eye and arm so he had to retire, instead of magical recovery after a day and some characters die, but like die die. Once they're gone, they're gone. You get attached to the characters the more you read about it, which yes, makes it more painful when they die, but adds more to the depth of it all.

So lemme say something real quick, all these haters out there don't listen to them. In reality, Kimetsu no Yaiba is (in my opinion) THE best manga and anime there is out there. Especially the manga, the anime is without a doubt extraordinary as well, but the manga brings in so many more levels of emotions.
An absolutely astonishing story, my respect to Koyoharu and GET READING!!!







Sorry, this review was so long, I just love KNY too much.

Kimetsu no Yaiba review
First off the synopsis "A family is attacked by demons and only two members survive - Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko, who is turning into a demon slowly. Tanjiro sets out to become a demon slayer to avenge his family and cure his sister. ... Demon Slayer focuses on Tanjirou Kamado, who is still very young, but is the only man in his family.".

As many of you know the first 50 chapters have already been adapted in anime so i recommend that you first watch the anime, That said if you haven't watched the anime, i highly suggest you do if you want a great experience. With that out of the way i can now finally talk about the manga

Demon Slayer (Also known as Kimetsu no Yaiba) is set in the 1910's. Areas where stuff happens, is in somewhere between the urban cities and mountains

After the anime, you have to start in chapter 54 which is where the movie starts.

As someone who likes shounen anime, i find Demon Slayer one of, if not the best shounen anime to read/watch. If you're someone who enjoys action and shounen anime this is for you.

So. Should you watch/read Demon Slayer? Short answer, Y E S. Every single page is filled with love and dedication from the author and the comedy bits make you laugh at the top of you're lungs

However, the manga has some shortcomings. For instance there are some plot points that just don't get explored as much as others, and some characters don't get as much screen time as others.

But, don't stop these shortcomings from holding you back from reading this manga. I promise you it'll be worth while

Kimetsu no Yaiba review
[This review contains very light spoilers] I started reading Kimetsu no Yaiba a couple weeks after the anime ended and I definitely don't regret doing so.

~Story~
Unlike most shounen series' Kimetsu no Yaiba has a more serious story. In the very beginning our MC Tanjirou Kamado loses his entire family except for his little sister Nezuko although she was turned into a demon. Through this entire manga Tanjirou goes through each day trying to turn his sister back into a human. In the first 10-ish chapters we see Muzan Kibutsuji and we get the gist that defeating him will be a bit harder than Tanjirou could've thought. When we eventually find out about the 12 upper moon demons I started to realize that this might end up being in a way more in-depth than what I'd expected.
Like most stories of course the plot left some things un-answered and it certainly wasn't perfect but all in all it's still enjoyable.

~Art~
At some parts I think the art is really well done but some other times I think it's kind of derpy but that doesn't mean its bad. The art at the beginning of the manga is alright but it really improves later on. I think that the art was especially nice during the fight scenes because you can really tell what is happening and its not like random things going on all over the page.
Overall I do like the art style but it isn't the best I've ever seen.

~Characters~
It's very rare for me to love all of the characters in a series but I definitely do for Kimetsu no Yaiba (with some exceptions). First of all, I love the main four, Tanjirou, Nezuko, Inosuke, and Zenitsu mostly because of how much fun it is with them together. Tanjirou is really sweet and kind and I love that he just has empathy for everyone even the demons. Nezuko is absolutely adorable and when she is tiny she is so cute I cannot handle it lol. Inosuke is a bit loud and annoying at times but it's really fun watching him be so crazy. Zenitsu is a huge cry baby and just loves Nezuko but even with him (I would say over-reacting but I would probably be scared fighting demons too lmao) being how he is, he's really cool when he gets serious!

Kimetsu no Yaiba has so many side characters and once you are introduced to the pillars/hashira the series gets even better! Personally I love Tokitou Muichirou he is definitely favorite pillar out of all of them but they each have their strong points even if they seem really mean at first like Genya or Shinazugawa. Sometimes even the demons can be like-able. I think once the series has more characters it makes it so much more fun and they all have really great designs!

~Overall~
I would definitely not say Kimetsu no Yaiba is perfect because it isn't but I love it none the less. Sadly the manga ended yesterday as of writing this but I think it has been a really nice ride with tons of fun moments and even some that left me crying. I think that the author could have made a better ending but like I said the series isn't perfect. I am really glad I watched the anime and decided to continue by reading the manga and if I went back in time I would do it all over again.

I loved Kimetsu no Yaiba and I am giving it a 10 purely based on my overall enjoyment. I will undoubtedly read Koyoharu Gotouge's next work! I would definitely recommend Kimetsu no Yaiba to anyone who really likes shounen or just almost anyone in general!

Kimetsu no Yaiba review
I read the last chapter right now, so I'm writing with the freshest impressions that I have. So take a big BREATH and let the DANCE begin.

Note: I didn't watch the Anime and as I read a lot of people are influenced by it. And what I saw in trailers it was really well animated, so there is a chance that the Anime is better than the manga. But my review is completly untouched of the Anime.

Story 7/10
The Story begins really intresting, but soon you experience the may lack of this serie, the pacing. After the beginning it's skippinng "unnecessary" things, like a long training session. First you may think: "oh yeah, we don't need this boring stuff" (I'm also one of these) however this also results that in just very few chapters our protagonist is on the same level or higher than other demon slayers (just from hitting a rock and running in the forest...). And this "skips" happen after every big fight. You get 1-2 "training" chapters and of course the time passes, so it's not just 2 days or so, sometimes it's weeks or months, but first he fights some low level Demon and just after that it fights a top tier demon... Also the final boss appears almost at the beginning, which give us a clear direction for the story, but at the same time it takes important / intressting side stories. You won't get to know the characters or the world very well because you have to rush to the next big enemy. At the end, you just run from one big fight to another.
I'm currently swaying between 6 and 7, and now I give a 7. That's because you maybe rush, and maybe you don't get enogh explanations (worldbuilding, how the "powers" work etc.), but if you don't need every detail in them (like me), you will get a fast and intresting action story.

Art 6/10
Oh boy... I'm really not a fan of his style... Not at all. For me, it's poor drawn, sorry. The lines are shaky, sometimes it's missing things or changes in a even more poor style... Especially for the action scene it's really a downer... However! It is special, fresh and individual. It also gives a touch of comedy (what doesn't work everytime, but I admit, I smiled sometimes). So I can understand why somebody like his style, and I try to be as neutral as I can. Also, if I get a good story and/or action, than I don't really care if it's poor drawn or not (but I had to get used to it...).

Character 4/10
As I mentioned it at the "Story" part, due its pacing, you won't learn a lot about the characters. Sometimes they just come and go, why death is permanent and nothing special in this story (maybe shocking at first, but after the 3rd or 5th you just say "meh, another one"). Even the "main" support characters are really poor and mostly just annoying, while the protagonist is just a mediocre shounen hero. The only good point about the characters are, that you get a lot of individuals with different powers and reasons for fight. So somewhere in this story, maybe your dream character is also in the story (but don't get to attached to it ;) ).

Enjoyment 8/10
Yeah I know, it don't have a deep story or characters. Also the Art isn't in my favor, but I really enjoyed the Action (even if it was sometimes longer than needed, for example the final) and I mostly also liked the fast pacing. So if you are shounen action fan, you will get what you expect.

Overall 7/10
You won't get the best written or drawn manga of your life and the last 2-3 chapters will, with high a chance, disappoint you, but if you like a fast paced action shounen (kinda like Dragon Ball Super) you will be satisfied. For me, with a better art or a deeper story it would have been at least a solid 8, but for now it's just a weak 7.

Kimetsu no Yaiba review
Story 8

It is a shounes story about Demon slayers and Canibalistic demons and very straight forward. It is not outstanding or superb but It is always keeps you hooked and never gets boring. New Characters and enemies get introduced at a good pace. On top of that this is finally a manga with a really good ending. For some reasons many mangakas have trouble finsihing their story and bringing it to a good conclusion but Demon Slayer was well planned and structured from the beginning so the ending is very statisfying.

Art 10

It is a very uusual style that I have never seen before but it is pulled of extremly well. The Character desings are really cool as are the enemies. Fights scenes are drawn extraordinary well adn overall really good art that I defnitily stands out.

Characters 10

The characters are the strong point of Demon slayer. You feel for every character even the enemies (especially the enemies) as they all have cool quirks and backstorys. The maingroup is really cool and funny but the sidecharacters are what makes it so good sicne they are all fleshed out and well written. And did I mention the good written antagonists?

Enjoyment 10

Well I really enjoyed quite a lot as you might guess. Can recommend to everyone who likes shoune, martial art, demon/vampires or smiliar genres. It is quiete bloody but that is exactly what you want in this kind of story.
Its also been years since I cried from a manga or anime but this work really pulled an onion on me. 10/10

Kimetsu no Yaiba review
After watching the anime adaptation of demon slayer, I began reading the manga. I will briefly give my thoughts on this series.

Story: "Demon v.s Human" is pretty straightforward, the humans are trying to eliminate all demons so they can have peaceful lives, and the demons want to stay alive forever because they want to become stronger. Then here's come the main protagonist "Kamado Tanjirou" trying to save his sister who had become a demon by a demon, and then he began his journey alongside his little sister to find the cure and beat the demon.

Art: Personally, the art on this manga is not good at the beginning but later on the art improves and you will get adapted to it. The art on the fight scenes is very hard to understand to me because there's so much going on in one panel.

Character: Demon Slayer characters are pretty unique with their bloodlines, culture, and different backgrounds on each character. The demon's character design is creative and their abilities are different from each demon's. Every character in this story introduces, tells their stories whether at the beginning of the story or the end.

Enjoyment: I have mixed feelings about this, first of all, the ending of this story is so short and somewhat rushed, I want more. Second, the fight scenes are pretty much boring to me, but I tried to enjoy them and began enjoying them after I finished the arc. So I was pretty much impatient to read the final arc.

Overall, this manga is sure hell of a ride. To be honest, I can't describe it in words so give it a try! Maybe you will be bored and drop it but it's fine. 8/10

Kimetsu no Yaiba review
It has finally come to an end. The shortest ride for me so to speak. I completely enjoyed the ups and downs and the multitude of emotions I went though while I read KNY manga. It hurts that such a good Shōnen manga ended and I will deeply miss it. At the same time we will have to thank the author for not once dragging the story beyond reason.
KNY in all its chapters barely crossing 200th mark has one of the best art, narration and intrigue factor. The action scenes are done well for the most part. And the ending while being bittersweet is the most apt one.

The anime sent me flying right between the pages of the manga and it was so good. This is the one manga where I loved the villains more than I cared for the hero team. Like all Mc tanjiro is the epitome of kindness and an embodiment of perfection. Even villains admired him. His devotion to protecting his sister cannot be more disenchanting. He is everything on paper and as as ordinary as the next guy.
MCs are either alone or they come in threes. Innosuke can be summarised in not so many words; loud, angry, ticking time bomb with no personality at all. Zenitsu on the other hand has some psass. But his personality is still unforgivably irredeemable. His thunderous whining can be heard through the manga like a lightning strike. His simping for nezuko does not picture him in a better light either.

These don’t hamper me from loving KNY :P

The hashiras for some reason deeply impacted a lot of ppl to favourite them while I was beamed with a different set of emotions. Their back stories were meant to make me sympathise but I just wasn’t. To me the tragic back stories were essential to the plot and that’s where it ended. Rengoku was the one hashira I respected. The others namely giyu obenai,matsuri,gyomei,sanemi,muichirou and the guy with three wives were not too deep and I could feel their stories has a dash of forced meaning. I cant seem to put into words how they felt like NPCs. Shinobu was the other hashira I genuinely liked. The anime also had some influence as her voice was pretty soothing and nice.
I also liked sanemis brother. He was too adorable not to like.

Kanao and nezuko were decent for heroines. Neither of them is weak and both girls were amazing in fights. Nezuko scores points for cuteness overload.


Now for the villains. Anime Muzak was hot, cool and too awesome. Manga Muzan was a person I could not come to understand towards the end. So little of his back story was revealed. There was so little to sympathise with. He should have gone down with a bang but he pulled the short end of the stick when he was unfairly downplayed and sidelined. The climax was admittedly rushed and too many loose ends remained regarding muzan. No one could wallow in pity for The most evil of all villains in KNY because he did not get those sad flashbacks when even a minor demon was spared more than 15 minutes.
Akaza was universally loved at the end of the manga. Who can despise him?
Kokushibas story was so stretched out, I don’t remember anything at all.
Douma became my new favourite. I don’t think he is any better than muzan but for some twisted reason, his art style and evil disposition attracted me the most.i want to hear his voice in the anime if it airs.

I love short mangas. KNY with 207 chapters was always fast paced, never meandered with filler like content. The plot and fight scenes were great. I liked the narrative style and the arcs were thankfully brief. The story was always linear and the author ended it in a way that leaves us to our imagination. I liked the coherent plot and clean art. I am pretty indifferent about the ending. I imagined chapter 205 somewhat in a different light. 204 to me was more beautiful and meaningful than 205 that felt forced to assuage some audience.

Like I said in the beginning, the wonderful journey has finally come to a stop. I highly recommend kimetsu no Yaiba.

Kimetsu no Yaiba review
The moment I clicked completed i felt quite because after a long time I read a manga which spoke to me in another way. I see many people disliking this series and labeling it as nothing special but I think that this was a breath of fresh era in this genre.

Let's start with the story, it is rather simple and for some already seen but for that is not the charm of this manga. The real charm is in its side stories. You have such beautifully written characters with their unique stories that a complex main plot would be too much. In that aspect I can compare it to the way Furudate (Haikyuu!) gives every character a nice and clean backstory. Every character could be the main character of this manga. This manga will make you feel things. Yes, I do agree that the first arc shown in the anime was kinda boorish, but so are many other introductory arcs.

Let's turn to the characters for a bit, Tanjiro is one of the most likeable MC's in my opinion, he is the true pure soul. Some may dislike that but for me I had a great time following his journey. What I like about the way he is written is that he is on the same level of strength as many other characters and him being a special snowflake of MC is rarely emphasized. Tanjiro is always working together with someone, characters are always supporting each other which was actually great to see.
What I appreciate in this manga that no female character was neglected nor portrayed as a damsel in distress.

As for the art of this manga it is so different in such a beautiful way and there are panels which are drawn in a very laid back style but throughout the manga you begin to like them. There is something in Gotouge's style which really speaks well with the whole story.

I must say that this manga is the type that kicks you right in the head, you are hurt, you cry, you smile and it reminds you that there is no plot armor in real life. Because of this I could far more relate to this than some other mangas.

My advice is to give this manga a chance because you will be getting on a very exciting rollercoaster ride.

Kimetsu no Yaiba review
This manga was honestly not as bad as some people considered it to be. For me, it was actually more enjoyable then I thought it would be. If you watched the anime first instead of reading the manga, and you wanna know what happens after the anime arc, it's worth a read. But I wanna talk about a few things centering around art, character, and story a little.

STORY
Story was underwhelming for sure. I wouldn't say it was terrible, but it definitely wasn't the greatest thing ever. I enjoyed the fights more then the actually story. But to be fair, Kimetsu is a very heavy on a lot of action and fights which I'm a big fan for the most part.

ART

the art of kimetsu starts off...pretty bad actually. But it's one of those things to were the art goes from terrible, to bad, to decent, to actually pretty good. A lot of people say the art is terrible and that the anime did it justice. I can defiantly agree with that but later on in the series, the art gets a lot better and I kind of wish people didn't shit on the mangaka for her art. Yes, her art isn't something that's better then OPM or even berserk. but keep in mind, that her art is still professional and weather you like her art style or not, you have to give her credit for actually putting out some decent work.

CHARACTORS

the mangaka needs a lot of work on character building, but the characters were nonetheless enjoyable to an extent. The antagonist in the series however, was really poorly written. Like, the antagonist was enjoyable, but felt really bland to an extent. I felt like the creator could have done more character development with him.


OVERALL
Your probably better off waiting for the anime adaptation since it will do the series more justice. Though, if you are interested in what happens after the anime arcs, the manga will not disappoint like how some people say.
