!!! SPOILERS !!!

Cried a lot during this one too and for Akaza no less....

Doma is an irredeemable piece of garbage though. Nothing could make me cry for him, I'm sure of it. I really did not expect the twist with Inosuke's mother! But God does it make me feel so sad.

Damn you Gotouge.

“BUT YOU COULD SEE MY FUTURE...

...AS IF IT WERE JUST A MATTER OF FACT.”

The emotional toll that this volume puts the reader through is on another level compared to the previous volumes in the series so far. Shinobu has one of the saddest character journeys, and Doma truly is the most vile and evil Kizuki. The revelation of him being responsible for the death of Inosuke’s mother just adds more depth to it all. And the character growth internally for Akaza was one of my favorite moments in the series. This someone who took down the fan favorite Hashira Rengoku, so to have his own death somehow be sadder after Tanjiro and Giyu best him is truly an achievement in storytelling. A perfect volume no doubt.
