I don´t know why, but the "big brother being an asshole because he cares" trope worked for me in this case, when it usually doesn´t, like the BC´s case with Noelle.
About the rest of the chapter, it was neat, I feel a little bad for Genya, but he was against a guy that easily chops pillar´s arms. Cool sword design too, I have seen people saying that the sword may be the actual demon.
That IS one disgusting sword.

i thought it was a bit strange but whatever. At least Genya will probably grow from this. With the snake pillar and the wind pillar fighting. Did we see all of them ?
I just started reading this today. The Shonen jump app is missing chapters 62-138. Anyone know where I can read it? Also is the anime pretty faithful? I might be okay to drop the manga if the anime is close.

This should do:

And I haven't seen the anime whole yet, but I can say it's got gorgeous animation and music.

Anime is pretty faithful so far.
It's done by ufotable so the quality is consistently the highest you could get with an anime series.
However it'll be ages before the anime reaches where the manga is and there's charm in the art so ill say go with both if you have the time

Thanks you guys!
I'm glad this site has the ones I'm missing. I'll stay current from now on lol. Waiting for the anime might be too painful.
Caught up. Man I teared up a few times. Ahhh Inosuke is definitely my favorite lol.

Wind Pillar is crafty.
Six eyes on a demon is still creepy.
Humanoid faces with extra eyes stacked like that gives me a headache to look at for any period of time. My brain does not like it.
Can someone remind me what is a marechi ?

I'm on chapter 73 and I'm just not feeling it, my friend says it really picks up around the 100's, what do you guys think, is it worth sticking around for?

honestly, you know the main characters, you had the fight of Kyoujourou against an upper moon. I don't know what your friends expect but you should know already why the serie is good.

Three Pillars
Gah, those eyes bug me so much, just die already.
We really aren't leaving anyone for Muzan are we
! My bet. The sword is also a demon.
https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1003670
The power of the strongest pillar
! This moon guy was one of the original hunters, right? Or at least that's what I'm getting is implied.
! If so, I really want to see his ass kicked.
I just find it comical how the "nick of time" sudden character appearance attack was used thrice in this fight.
Like this demon can't seem to get a break. Granted it was easy for him but it does seem annoying to have them keep instantly teleport behind you.
Not a manga reader, just here to say: holy shit this episode was absolutely amazing! It's been a long time since i was so hyped during a fight, especially because of the stunning animation!
Which fight was this?
Yeah it was stellar. But most of the fights have been. The fights to come are gonna send anime only folks to the moon lol.
Oh that was so long ago. I had completely forgotten about that part :-)
I read the 1st 5 volumes last year. Was too lazy to catch up. I liked Tanjiro vs Kyogai more. Just off ingenuity. This fight was great to look at tho.
This series is okay, nothing to great but not bad by any means, I'd put it in a c tier in shone jump mangas

You have too high taste :-)
There is no denying that in the current jump it is A tier. And personally, the author makes my chest throb like very few authors can so i don't care if it is not perfect
C tier? Geeze. I'm curious what's under your B and A tiers lol.

Okay, let's see, I'll do my rankings for all series not just shonen jump
A grade: Perfect in my mind
One Piece, Full metal alchemist
B rank: A great experience if finished or something I'm dying to read each week when chapters come out
Assassination classroom, Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragonball/Dragon ball Z, Breakers, Tower of God, Solo leveling, Kingdom, Eyeshield 21, One Punch man, My Hero Academia, Rurouni Kenshin, Tokyo Ghoul, Hunter X Hunter, Gintama, Jojo's Bizzare adventure
C Tier: I love parts of it, but it has some glaring flaws, or slow beginnings or a drop in quality for some reason
Toriko, Beelzebub, Hitman Reborn, Seven Deadly sins, Demon Slayer, History's strongest Disciple Kenchi
D rank: Generic or just bad
Fairy Tail, Rave Master, Black Clover, Shaman King, Gantz
I don't know rank: Naruto and Bleach, they are what started me on manga and anime, I loved them for a long time, but they just fell apart at some point but I can't get past my nostalgia or how they started off great
Have no opinion on yet (haven't finshed or am currently reading)
Berserk, D. Grayman, attack on Titan, Fist of the North Star, Parasite, Monster, Vagabond, Lone wolf and cub, Death Note, Claymore, Vinland saga
and this may seem weird but my friend made me get caught up on Dr. Stone and Promised never land, they're both great series but I really have no love for either them, so idk where to rank them
Interesting. What are the glaring flaws you see in this series?
Interesting. What are the glaring flaws you see in this series?
Maybe flaws isn't the right word….. more leaning towrads personal opinions lol 
I dislike the protagonists Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira, I find them all kind of annoying,
I don't like how they made all these ranks as some sort of progression system and then decide to throw it all away and just focus on the three main protagonists and the pillars and never seem to bring up the ranking system again, I would have liked to see the protagonists rise up in the ranks as well as flesh out the other ranks outside of newbies and the pillars
The beginning story line was extremely slow for me, I only kept reading because my friend told me it gets a lot better
Can't always tell what's happening with the action sequences
Things I do like however
I like how he fleshes out his villains, most of them have some sort of sad sympathetic back story that shows you how they winded up where they are
I love the boss of the demon slayer corps blowing himself up to help take down the big bad
The plot with his sister him trying to make her human again, the pillars being against her at first and the main baddy finding out there headquarters cause of his connection to any demon (some Harry Potter & Voldemort shit going on there)
This arc is pretty great to the upper demons vs the pillars in a final battle... I am pumped!!!
Outside of a slow beginning, some tedious characters, hard to tell action scenes it's a pretty great manga
Again I put it in the same category as Toriko, Beelzebub, seven deadly sins and hitman reborn, all of which I love I just feel there are some issues with these series, Toriko and Beelzebub were rushed because of lack luster anime's, hitman Reborn's first 65 chapters were horrendous, and Seven Deadly sins does a bit to much amnesia plot lines and the way he handles relationships makes me glad Oda doesn't put romance in One Piece
But I enjoy all these series immensely so maybe more of a lower B tier
From the 3 webtoons you have put in your B tier, I dropped 2 and only read Tower of God anymore which, with your categories, would more belong to the C tier. If you don't read it yet, I would advice Lookism because it is a webtoon I would put in the B
Concerning the characters, I'm surprised one can dislike Tanjiro. I can understand the other 2 but what is annoying in him ?
For the slow start, it is definitevely not an issue for me. Actually, some of jump great series had a slow start and a lot of those which had a quick one ended in the C tier.
For the ranking system, I can agree. The author does not search to develop her wordbuilding to far. In a way it is not that bad because the serie will not be lost in the mistake that those complex worlbuilding induces (cf Naruto, Toriko…). It is her first serie so the next ones will be promising.
Note to everyone that this god like adaption was only made possible because of Nasu.
No idea who he is? Go pick up the Fate franchise, in terms of writing it is likely the same level as One Piece but not as well known.
But then again it is currently making millions because of its 3d waifu gacha game.

To be honest, I have no idea how anyone can not like Tanjiro.
He's not even the most defining "shounen" kind of protagonist but he is my favorite.
I feel like female authors tend to write shounen male leads with great characterization with empathetic traits. See the cast of FMA and to a certain degree, D Gray man and Blue Exorcist.
The beginning was slow and that's a valid point but not everything needs to have instant gratification.
I think you are projecting the standard shounen universe/world building into Kimetsu. I almost feel like you are talking about Naruto or HxH when you are talking about the side cast and the ranks but it was shown and told from the very start that the slayers die like flies and the demons are insanely strong.
All the fights in Yaiba have this thrilling tension to them that is enjoyable to read precisely because if you go back and re-read it, any single mistake by the characters could lead to instant death.
The author has been emphasizing death and how easy it is to die since the very beginning. It would be unrealistic and pointless to introduce a cast of newbs, develop them and then kill them off anyway when the whole point is that only the exceptional ones can survive(which is a very very low number).
The rank system is flimsy and it is meant to be that way so there's really no need for a rising in rank to be elaborately shown.
Yeah I like this series but if I look at it objectively I kind of get what you're saying about the action sequences, the author isn't the best in the art department and it shows but she makes up for it with stellar character writing.
EDIT: Oh I saw your C-Tier.
Putting Kimetsu in the same tier as Sins and Reborn made me winch a little.
Best thing of the Nasuverse is a completely different story than Fate and a Fate story that was written by someone else though.

Zero?
Pretty sure Nasu supervised that and anyway, it was good and one of the best but when compared to Stay Night, the original series still come up top.

Yep.
The philosophical clashes in Zero are better than anything in Stay Night, at least to me.
Gotta respect it of course, since without it, Zero would never exist, and of course many things only get resolved in Stay Night, but nevertheless, it´s on a different realm to me.

Idk why I just love tower of God lol and I'll definitely check out that other web comic, Thanks man
@Kdom:
Concerning the characters, I'm surprised one can dislike Tanjiro. I can understand the other 2 but what is annoying in him ?
He just rubs me the wrong way, he's almost a little to earnest, I don't dislike him as much as the others but still….
@Kdom:
For the slow start, it is definitevely not an issue for me. Actually, some of jump great series had a slow start and a lot of those which had a quick one ended in the C tier.
Agreed on this, lots of Great series started off slow and turn into favorites (some of my friends thought one piece started off slow for example) and lots of bad series start out great and interesting, Naruto and Bleach had dives in quality

Good point! better to end it on a good note then drag it's reputation through the mud and leave a bad after taste in readers mouth

I don't know why I don't like him I just don't, by the way is Blue Exorcist worth reading?
@Kdom:
The beginning was slow and that's a valid point but not everything needs to have instant gratification.
Agreed, but it's still a problem with the series though, not a deal breaker, as I've read lots of series with slow beginnings. Usually the ones that are really slow I stick with based off recommendations though (which was the case with this one)

Maybe your right, first thing I thought of when reading that there were ranks to go up was Black Clover and Naruto, but honestly I don't like that they put those elaborate systems up just to throw it away, it's kind of bad world building that only the characters the main hero graduated with and the pillars are the only ones who seem to matter, It's also kind of annoying me with Black Clover to, they showed them going up ranks at first so I thought there power curve would be a gradual thing but now in the latest fight it feels like there already at the captains levels
Yeah I like this series but if I look at it objectively I kind of get what you're saying about the action sequences, the author isn't the best in the art department and it shows but she makes up for it with stellar character writing.
Like I said the character back stories are probs what I enjoy most about this series, but yeah art and action isn't her forte
@Kdom:

I enjoy both series a lot, even with there flaws
again C rank isn't necessarily bad for me, I love Toriko and Beelzebub and have read them both multiple times. I was very active on there threads here, hell I may enjoy them more then some of my B list mangas I was trying to balance personal opinions with what I think critical consensuses should be, maybe I'll revaluate that
! Two pillars with marks against Moon One. Things looking interesting.
I suppose its to be expected that there's more to it than meets the eye, so to speak:
https://manganelo.com/chapter/kimetsu_no_yaiba/chapter_170
But Earth Pillar, you are the man.
Okay now the eyes start to creep me out.

So UM1 is Sunbro's bro is practically confirmed by this point.
https://mangadex.org/chapter/695614/1 Please nerf UM1
UM1 would be hot if it weren't for, y'know, six eyes.
Now he even has the sword which goes with it :-)
The anime team must feel all the pressure of the fanbase for next episode…
It's mostly a talking episode. I think they'll do fine. Unless they wind up with some off the wall voice acting lol. Which seems unlikely.
Damn cliffhangers lol.
