Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Vol. 17 (17)

Love it so much! My current favorite manga! I cannot get enough. I recommend it to my cat. I recommend it to my dog. I recommend it to my mom.

I’m happy that I got to look desperate into Tanjirou’s story and his dad but it makes me sad that Shinobu Kocho dies :(

I’m so happy to have this manga ❤️ I read all on the internet but having the hard copy is always the best. Came in good condition !

I'm currently on vol 15 of this series and made myself take a little break after reading 4 volumes in a day! Thats how good it is, I don't like how a few chapters end mid fight though. I originally fell in love with the anime, and started reading the manga when I got impatient waiting for the movie and news of a season 2. I have always been an anime fan but reading this manga really jump started my love for manga. I highly reccomend this one, im sad its ending.

Volume 17 contains chapters 143 through 151. Following the previous volume, the Demon Slayer Corps dive straight into the labyrinth that is the Infinity Castle to confront their sworn enemy, Muzan. Shinobu engaged in a vicious battle against Doma, the Upper Rank 2 demon. She lacks the strength to cut off his head and poison him; her specialty doesn’t work on him. Now she finds herself in an intense struggle for her life and to avenger her older sister by defeating the demon that killed her. Meanwhile, another demon connected to Zenitsu’s past appears before him to block his path. The title of this volume is Successors, which I found to be very fitting since the theme of succession is touched on several times throughout Volume 17 and the series. In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, the concept of succession plays an essential role for many characters in the Demon Slayer Corps. A great example of this in Volume 17 is when Kiriya Ubuyashiki immediately becoming the 98th leader of the Demon Slayer Corps after his father’s passing. The path to achieving the Demon Slayer Corps goal of putting an end to evil demonkind and defeating Muzan has been a long and tumultuous one. It has taken hundreds of years, generations of leaders, and many sacrifices. While those sacrifices came with many deaths and bloodshed, they were not done so in vain. They are done with the intention that the next generation is succeeding and taking on the duty of their predecessors so that they can carry the torch onward. The action and intensity do not slow down in this volume. If anything, it takes it up another notch from where Volume 16 left off. This is to be expected since this volume is part of the Final Battle Arc in the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba series. The stakes are high for the characters as they engage in some of the most deadly combat they’ve ever faced. The action and intensity are apparent in the art in all of the battle scenes. The mangaka, Koyoharu Gotouge, has a fantastic talent for illustrating impactful battle scenes. I especially love how they capture the characters’ fluid motions and the intensity of their facial expressions. I especially loved the brief message the mangaka puts at the beginning of the volume. The mangaka’s message acknowledges and apologizes that reading might be grueling for some fans as it can be challenging to see favorite characters get hurt or defeated. I thought the message was a nice touch because it shows they understand the emotional connection that fans have to some of their favorite characters while also giving the heads up to readers that there is a rough road ahead for some fan-favorite characters. This volume surprised me because it made me say something that I never thought I would say. I was impressed with Zenitsu. Throughout most of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, I have found Ze...
