Review:
Now that Tanjiro has passed and become a demon slayer, he can go back
to his sister. He has to wait for his sword, and he's been given a
bird to pass on his jobs to him. He's relieved to be with his sister
again, and see that she's doing okay.
His first job is to kill the demon that's been stealing girls from
a village. It's a rather quick search, really, though it doesn't
give him any more info on the man he's searching for.
Oh yeah, at the beginning of the chapter, it's just mentioned that
his masked friend informed him of a demon, the only one known to be
able to turn humans into demons, and the man who must have killed his
family. Supposedly this man is the only one who might know how to
turn his sister back.
Given how abruptly this information is given to Tanjiro, and then how
easily he finds him in the latter half of the volume... It feels
rushed, and much too easy. It makes me think that this is a short
series, but it's not, so hopefully that means we get new plot lines
after a while, and this doesn't get stretched out too much. It's hard
to tell right now, though.
Things seem to be working too easily for Tanjiro. As soon as he gets
new information or is told he needs something, right there it comes
along for him. It's too convenient for me.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
