"Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Vol. 1" was alright. Hard to read with the formatting issues and watermarks.

I requested this book from NetGalley when I saw it listed because I have seen frequent adverts for the anime based on this manga and I was interested to know more about it. I really enjoyed the story premise, and the action moved along at a good pace. Tanjiro is a fun character who I imagine will develop well during the series as he improves his powers and seeks to accomplish his goal to save his sister. For me, the story and pacing were great and the characters engaging; however, I wasn't a huge fan of the artwork style. That is why I am giving this one 3.5 stars. I would stress, though, that that is simply my personal preferences in terms of the art. In all other respects, I enjoyed the opening volume of this story.
