Reviews

[Sean Sheridan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Story is pretty average, rating a little higher than I actually felt because I haven’t read the previous ones. Coloration was inconsistent and I had trouble following who was speaking because clothes and hair would be different colors than previous frames so I had to reread quite a few pages to understand who was even talking. Really cool fights, but nothing special in the story. Seems like this influenced Demon Slayer in the announcement of Katas, which is kind of cool but doesn’t carry the story.
