Story -

The story is about a young boy who becomes a demon slayer after his entire family was slaughtered by a demon, except for his little sister, who was turned into a demon as well. This young boy vowing to find a way to make her human again.

The main protagonist is Tanjiro Kamado, a young boy with great fighting talent. He is kind, naive, and have big empathy for anyone, even demons. He is accompanied by Nezuko, his beautiful little sister who turned into a demon but manages to keep her humanity.

In this story world, demons are created by a supervillain called "Muzan Kibutsuji". This supervillain is immortal, but direct sun rays could killed him. All other demons he created can be killed by cutting their neck with special blades called Nichirin. There is a secret organization called The Demon Slayer Corps who always tries to end the chaos made by Muzan Kibutsuji. This battle is already started since ancient times. As for the story setting, this manga is based on Japan during the Taisho Era (between 1912 - 1926). So, expect some beautiful sceneries of classical Japan in this manga.

For a modern shonen, this kind of plot is considered thin. We already seen how a story could be expanded from the like of Dragon Ballz, Rurouni Kenshin, Naruto, or One Piece. I have a hard time at first to enjoy this manga due to this thin plot. It's also hard to root for Tanjiro since his character looks too one dimensional.

The first story arc is quite predictable. Tanjiro got a mission (from a talking crow), he slays the demon, he wounded, he wins. Repeat. Then he starts to get along with his comrades: Inosuke Hashibira and Zenitsu Agatsuma. This is when the manga get more exciting. Not because of the personality traits, but more on the action fighting scenes.

Inosuke Hashibira is short-tempered and a loud boy. His loudness and wild fighting style reminds me of that Kiba Inuzuka from Naruto franchise. But Inosuke looks much cooler, He's wearing a boar mask all the time. Since the 1st appearance, we'd know, this guy is mental! The other guy, Zenitsu Agatsuma, is a coward, he cries most of the time, he has low self-esteem. When his life is in danger, he fainted. In his unconscious state, he can perform his swordsmanship at a high level based purely on instinct alone. Man, his fighting style is one of the coolest in this manga.

It feels that this manga emphasized the action scenes. The characters were not planted well, we don't have enough time to root to one of them. The best example of this was the story arc where we met Kyojuro Rengoku. He is one of those characters that has big potential to be rooted for. He's super strong, kind-hearted, warm, and he's about to mentor Tanjiro. But when we just barely knew him by short flashbacks (Kimetsu no Yaiba use this device a lot), the plot needed him to be lost and killed by an upper-rank demon. This is not unusual when we have a lovable character killed by a strong enemy (Oh, how devastating that scenes when Ace, Whitebeard, and Jiraiya died). If Kyojuro Rengoku could serve the story plot a little longer, his impact would be much bigger. And his last fighting scene could be more epic.
