Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Vol. 1: Cruelty: Volume 1

Product Information

But most importantly, I could see the potential of the series, as in being intriguingly enjoyable, funny and *dramatic. Coupled with their sibling bond, that's why Tanjiro will never let go of Nezuko until he's found the cure to her demon nature. There is no sense of continuity or passing of time (literally months could pass between two panels without any sense of character or story progression), the book is just a scattered set of random events that occur out of nowhere and just because. Demon Slayer is an anime that has been recommended to me countless times, but I’m such a sucker for pages that I knew I had to read the manga first before I could get into the anime series. Before developing the popular series, Gotouge's works included several one-shots: Kagarigari (2013), Monju Shiro Kyodai (2014), Rokkotsu-san (2014), and Haeniwa no Zigzag (2015).

In manga, the backgrounds often don’t need to be super detailed unless it’s a big part of the scene, but in this manga, the backgrounds are often given the same level of detail as the characters themselves, which is even more impressive. Nezuko, the girl who was turned into a demon when her most of her family were killed, is as cute as a button, even with those fangs.

And the art is freaking gorgeous each panel so well laid and drawn feels like a poster and the simplicity of the laughs and those funny anime faces and expressions are so good!

This stunning paperback collection features the complete manga box set of the popular Japanese anime series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. It introduces the main protagonists, gives us their origin story, and the gist of the overarching plot. Female characters are not objectified, though they exist only as supporting characters in this volume.

It is a by-the-book shounen manga that follows all the beats of a tried and tested "coming of age" outline, but done very awesomely by Koyoharu Gotouge. This shonen manga is violent but not nearly as brutal as series such as "Hellsing," and there is little overt sexuality. That might not seem like much considering this is Goodreads and all we do here is read and talk/think about reading. We’re shown flashbacks of their prior sibling interactions, and it helps to develop that bond between them. With the movie and the first season now out, reading the manga is the way to go for fans who wanted to know and binge about this world and Tanjirou's journey, yet I may say that the anime is way better.
