TW// murder, mention of parental death
This volume is one of the least action packed ones in the series since it was mainly just training, but it was still really enjoyable. I loved getting to see more of Muichiro and Genya. They’re both really interesting characters and I’m looking forward to seeing their backstories.
I found Nezuko’s interactions with the Hashira in this volume to be really sweet.
I also appreciated how this volume had a filler comic that explained why Mitsuri dresses the way that she does. I’ve always found her outfit to be one of the most annoying parts of the series for me because it honestly makes no sense for a demon slayer to be dressed like that while fighting.
Overall a great volume and I can’t wait to read the next volume soon.

This was a great volume and deals with the gathering of the Upper Moon 6 and Muzan has plans for them and somewhere else Tanjiro recovers and goes to the Swordsmith's village in order to get his sword from Haganezuka and its amazing to see that and all his training with Kotetsu and him gaining new swords and allies and learning something about his lineage and meeting Tokito but then again peace doesn't last as he has to face the upper demons now.
Great volume and continues doing the character work and focuse son training and recovery periods and shows different sides of Hashiras and how they connect to Tanjiro. I am loving how the author is able to make new challenges for these DSC and fleshes them out and their design is so good and especially the power sets are unique.

Tengo un "no se que" que me hace querer mucho a Genya. El man se ve todo malote pero tengo este presentimiento de que no lo es.
Genya yo te quiero!!
¿Vieron esas pistolas? OMG!!

After the last of couple of volumes involving heavy actions and emotional trainwrecks, we finally get some rest. We get to see Tanjiro and the team recovering, learning and developing as well as the different Hashiras. The art seems to have significantly improved than the early volumes.

I was a little meh at the beginning but by the end I was excited for the next volume!
Also is Gotouge trying to tell us that Inosuke is a Hufflepuff?! You can check out the page I am referring to below!

As of this writing, I’m now beyond the anime and it’s all so fresh and new to me.
Two months to heal up after the pleasure district. Wow. And I LOVE where Tanjiro is headed next. I always wanted to know more about the swordsmiths. :)
Of course, the end of this volume is a real cliffhanger. I’m having a lot of fun.

After the epicness of the last 3 volumes we slow it down here.
We get to see our hero learn some new moves and work with the swordmasters. It was actually pretty great to see their side of things more and learn about them. We also get the villains finally about to strike back and it's not looking to good. The book ends on a mega cliffhanger and sets up volume 14 to be fucking fantastic.
Also the faces in this are perfect.
Not as good as the last 3 volumes but still great.

Muichiro has been my favorite hashira from the moment I saw him at the first meeting. Love ya boo 💞

بلافاصله بعد از انیمه شرو کردم و یازده جلد قبلی رو از سرم باز کردم. من اصلا هیچوقت هیچطور برنامه نداشتم حالا حالاها ببینم یا بخونمش و با دست تقدیر و اصرار احسان تا اینجا کشیده شدم. قوت اصلی کل سری برای من فایتای زیبا و چشمنوازِ هیجان انگیز و اصلا بیشتر از همه موسیقی متنش بود. پس طبیعیه که حالا مانگا زیادی ساده به نظر برسه. هرچند طنز نیمبندش رو هنوز دوست دارم -که غیاب زنیتسو و کمبود اینوسکه دو احمق به تمام معنی باعث شد خیلی پررنگ نباشه- و هیجان هنوز هم خیلی خوب منتقل میشه. داستان هم که مثل همیشه عمیقا تکرارشونده و به جز خط موزان ساما و یوریچی قابل پیشبینیه. ولی بالا رفتن شخصیتهای موثر این ارک کمی از یکنواختی خارجش میکنه.
تازه ارک داره باز میشه و حرف بیشتری نمیشه زد.

My original review still stands, pretty much sums up my thoughts. A solid set up chapter. Extra poins for showing side boobies and booty.

Aunque tenga un comienzo lento y la trama se sienta mucho mas relajada, conforme avanza la historia todo mejora.
Ademas podemos conocer mejor a los pilares del Amor y la Niebla, asi como a Genya quien aun no me decido si me cae bien o no.

After the finale of entertainment district arc. For sure this volume feels a bit off. It's a good starts for the next arc really, but just after THAT is just good.
Here we get to see the rest of the uppers rank demon. We get to know a bit more about Mitsuri and Tokito, I'm so interested in both of them so, it was interesting.
This hidden village is so fascinating, I can't wait to read more!

4/5 Stars (%77/100)
Pretty good volume in general. The first two chapters of this book are the ending of the Entertainment District Arc. In these chapters, we see more of Muzan and also the Upper Moons together after many years. Upper Moon 1 (Kokushibo), 4 (Hantengu), and 5 (Gyokko) are introduced. It is strange that Kokushibo looks like the mysterious swordsman from Tanjiro's vision. This volume is also the start of the Swordsmith Village Arc. Here in the village, we meet more characters such as Mitsuri the Love Hashira and Tokito the Mist Hashira. Perhaps the most interesting about this volume is the machine doll called Yoriichi Type Zero and this is the man from Tanjiro's visions, who also looks a lot like him. Overall, it was a good volume but since it's the beginning of a new arc, the pace is a bit slow but I don't mind it a lot because we meet many new characters both human and demon.

My son has been into this for a couple months now, and I started picking up his manga to read them. This is the first time it occurred to me to enter it on GR.
It's funny to me that he's like, "Oh, there are so many awesome fights!" whereas I'm more into the dynamic between Tanjiro and Nezuko, the impossibility of what he's trying to do, and the ever-increasing odds set against him. Some of their allies seem just as bad as the enemies, as if they're stacking the deck against themselves. I find all that to be compelling.
I'll probably keep poking through his manga collection.

Y después de varias semanas en que me apetecía leer más novelas, vuelvo a “Kimetsu no Yaiba” con el tomo 12. Y la verdad es que he salido muy contenta de él. Después de la pelea contra Daiki y su hermano, el tomo se ha centrado en la recuperación de Tanjiro y en su entrenamiento en la Villa de los Herreros. La verdad es que mientras he leído este manga no he pensado mucho en los herreros, su trabajo y su hogar; y , a rasgos generales, no me ha parecido un lugar muy original, pero todo lo relacionado con ellos me ha parecido muy interesante. Y al lector se le han dado miguitas de un nuevo misterio relacionado con la Primera Luna Superior y el pasado y la familia del protagonista. Personalmente esa parte es lo que me da la vida con este manga.
La verdad es que ha habido momentos de todo tipo; de acción, humor, emotivos… el tomo ha sido muy variado, ha habido de todo. También se han desarrollado personajes que habían parecido someramente anteriormente (seguimos conociendo poquito a poco a todos los pilares), y se han introducido nuevos personajes muy interesantes. Soy muy fan del tipo que le hace las espadas a Tanjiro (cuyo nombre no recuerdo…) y de la Pilar del Amor, que me parece adorable. A ver como se desarrollan a lo largo del arco.
Aunque después de todo lo vivido en el arco anterior todo se me ha quedado muy a medio gas. No es que este tomo haya sido malo, es que los anteriores fueron muy bestiales a nivel de emotividad y peleas. Y también que la mayoría de capítulos no han podido superar al primero de todos, focalizado en Muzan y las Lunas Superiores, a las cuales por fin hemos conocido. Pero vamos, que el próximo volumen promete, y me da que voy a tener la tensión a mil leyendo lo que se avecina.

“El lugar al que llegan los que han finalizado su camino siempre es el mismo… Aunque los tiempos cambien y los caminos que los hayan llevado a ese lugar sean diferentes… siempre se llega al mismo sitio.”
Considero este tomo un tanto innecesario, que aunque te presentan a dos pilares y el sitio secreto de los herreros de las espadas nichirin, no pasa nada interesante realmente, quizá un poco al final.
“Lo que se hereda no solo son las características o apariencia… Los seres vivos también traspasan memorias en los genes. Cómo la primera vez que forjé una espada, creí haberlo vivido antes, o como cuando recuerdas acontecimientos que se supone que no has experimentado… a eso le llamamos recuerdos de los genes.”
Lo que si se puede rescatar es la imagen de posiblemente el papá de Tanjiro en 3 ocasiones, cuando se presenta la creciente 1, en el sueño después del estado de coma de Tanjiro y en espadachín de entrenamiento de 6 brazos, lo cual si te despierta ese morbo hacia el que pasara después, y si realmente es el en cada una de las situaciones.
“Tú tienes un futuro por delante… tienes que echarle ganas ahora por el bien de tu futuro en 10 o 20 años… lo que no puedes hacer ahora, algún día serás capaz”
Pd. Inosuke lo llamó ahora Tanpachiro

Et voilà le dernier tome disponible dans ma bibliothèque. Patience, patience...
Un tome que j'ai globalement apprécié. On est en transition jusqu'à la prochaine confrontation, mais c'est assez bien mené ici. La pause après le dernier combat de plusieurs tomes est bienvenue.
Gros + : Tanjirô, le perso le mieux travaillé, se retrouve pour le moment sans ses deux comparses. Donc moins de running gags lourds, de cris intempestifs. Il a un échange intéressant et touchant avec un nouveau perso (très) secondaire, qui lui est aussi plutôt bien introduit cette fois. Enfin, un perso dont un minimum de background et de leitmotiv (même léger) est donné assez vite. (Bon c'est malheureusement pas le cas des autres rencontrés mais ça reste un élément positif su tome.)
J'aime assez que le discours autour de Tanjirô ne soit pas celui du super-hero qui serait le seul à même de vaincre le big boss. J'ai peu de doutes sur la fin du manga en la matière mais c'est rafraîchissant d'avoir un héro qui admet lui même qu'il pourrait ne pas être celui qui réussit à réaliser son but. Mais qu'il est important pour lui de tout donner pour l'atteindre, et que c'est par sa pleine implication qu'il pourra dans un effort collectif contribuer à vaincre.
