Kimetsu no Yaiba

I don't know what WSJ you're reading... in the approximately 20 chapters so far, we've covered more story than 100 chapters of naruto, bleach or one piece. This is non-stop action, the others are not.

More story than 100 chapters of One Piece... that joke isn't even funny. I doubt you even read it...

Also, why we have another demon that controls space/dimensions so fast? It's nice to see quite similar abilities (controling how subject moves vs controling his environment) used creatively, but someting is not right ...

Author is pretty creative with the abilities and stuff.

Non Stop Action is the norm in WSJ for battle series.

Is it a man? Is it a beast?

No.. it's 

Tanjiro is fucking great.

God damn it, I love him.

I'm liking this other swordsman. They seem to play off each other pretty well, even comedy wise. Wonder if he's good at fighting as well. 

Hmm... neat...?

 

Art is well done, but the story and writing is... eh... It really feels like the author went into the whole thing thinking "ok, the goal is to not get axed so I'll just bombard the audience with a shitload of fighting/action/training battles one after another and skip over everything else."

 

But if its ranking that highly in the voting polls, I guess thats what sells in Japan.

One might say that mentioning her master's name was quite a mouthful.

I love the way this fight scene is unfolding. This is definitely a step up in the last few fights and it's neat seeing how drawn out it is. The artist has some really unique ideas and how to draw them (like the arrow attacks blending with the sword strike).

ranked 3rd in this week ToC...

even though everything is still so japanese, they'd still translate kemari as "handball"?...

Great chapter! Kibutsuji is giving me a Dio vibe with the way he turns people to demons with his blood and works from the shadows. Hope this series keeps getting more popular in Japan, it has some really interesting art.

Color page next means the series is doing relatively well, good, this is a nice read, I hope the axe never aproaches this series.

Aaaaaaaand I caught up. Thanks for the updates! I'l definitely be following this from now on!

Volume 1

Spoiler

wow, isn't like the 8th chapter the first one were the rank start to count to not get axed xD 

also, Mononofu and sesuji wo pino are pretty down D: ... although mononofu is more understandable, I'm sesuji is pretty great, I don't want them to get axed so soon D:

Mononofu normally ranks rather well but it has dropped down these last 3 weeks(I don't follow it so dunno what happened or anything) sesuji normally stays in the middle of the pack i don't see it getting axed at least for now.

I'm actually having second thoughts about this guy being the main bad.

Though he's gotten my hype in a single chapter, I'm thinking he's just someone they 'suspect' of knowing something. He's likely a pawn himself judging from a flashback to him being a child.

Isn't that just a memory of his defeat by person wearing those weird earrings?

I will post the rankings here , you probably thought it was 5th because , you counted OP and The Dragon Quest One-Shot. so it actually got a 3rd place. It was probably the ranking for chapter 8 which is my favorite atm

 

Its a really great ranking for a new series, hope it continues like that

this week KNY ranks 5th!

No its not.

 

Compared to the past new series in shounen jump (Buddy strike , lady justice , ultra battle satalite and others) they all tanked immediately and were bottom of the rankings most of the time. Yuragi-sou and KNY are doing rather similar to samon-kun wa summoner. In fact in the first few weeks of ranking both Yuragi-sou and KNY have been better than Samon-kun. Samon-kun has now since then established itself in the middle of the rankings but its first 5 weeks were 4 times 1th and one time 13th(last place) Yuragi-sou did a lot better by ranking all times inside the top 10 and one time inside the top 5, KNY 4 times 10th and 8th.

 

basically it all comes down to avoid the last place. Most new series that stay in last place for a few consecutive weeks are axed. (Toriko and Bleach are hugging the last places at this point though)

this week KNY ranks 5th!

Tram? What year is this?

Somewhere in the early 1900's, to be sure.

I had no idea we were in the industrial age at first, either. It all checks out, though. Rural areas wouldn't have changed much yet, and charcoal making would still be going strong... I wonder if there have been hints that I've missed.
