Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Vol. 19: Flapping Butterfly Wings by Koyoharu Gotouge

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Vol. 19: Flapping Butterfly Wings (Kimetsu no Yaiba, #19)Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Vol. 19: Flapping Butterfly Wings by Koyoharu Gotouge
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Need to start the year off right with a good manga. Well, with the Upper Moon 2 demon defeated by a very long gambit, it only leaves 2 more lieutenants before the big bad. Upper Moon 2 was truly the most purely evil of the Upper Moon demons, the narrative doesn't even give him a post-death woobie sympathy scene like with all the other demons. The Upper Moon 4 is controlling the actual setting of the battlefield and Upper Moon 1 is pretty-much Mike Tyson-ing every one who he goes against (view spoiler). The last part of the manga has 4 different Demon Slayers (3 of them "hashira" aka Demon Slayer generals) trying to just put a dent in him while he is dog-walking them. We got until at least August 2021 until the last English translation wraps up and it will be wild from what I can guess. The art is as good as it has been since I have been reading the manga (the anime really excels in this department).
