A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (Volume 1) - Koyoharu Gotouge

I'm going to start this review with a side note story. Because I want to...I have a fairly decent list of manga I want to read. It's a problem, I know. Well, I read finished this one the other day. My husband and I went for haircuts over the weekend, and we were early so we stopped in GameStop. I hadn't been in there in a while, so it was strange seeing so few games in there. Anyway, I saw Demon Slayer all over the place. The first thing I saw was a figure, and I felt impressed with myself I could identify it for my husband. Then I saw a game and a T-shirt. Then I was confused. Because I live under a rock and had no idea there was a movie coming out! LOL!

And now on to the review.

Tanjiro heads down the mountain to sell some coal, but when he returns, he finds his family has been slain by demons. His sister, Nezuko, has been turned into a demon, but she doesn't attack him. Tanjiro is determined to find a way to save her. He defends her from a demon hunter and is led to Urokodaki, who trains him to take the test to become a true Demon Slayer. He's going to need those skills if he wants to avenge his family and find a way to heal Nezuko.

I liked the first volume of this one. The art wasn't too busy, and the story was easy to follow. I feel bad for Nezuko, hiding from the sun and having that thing in her mouth to keep from biting people. I don't know if she's a demon the whole time, but I hope not. It seems really uncomfortable. Maybe that's just my TMJ talking! Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next one! Good Story!
