a thriller of a volume. vol. 22 of demon slayer is packed w/ brutal action, new reveals in almost every chapter, and some important backstory esp obanai's, while managing to be emotional at certain moments as well.

some of the paneling continues to annoy me, however, and i find muzan to be a flat + boring antagonist both in terms of characterization and fighting style.

it's quite a thrilling volume nevertheless, w/ the demon slayer corps fighting w/ desperation, showing that it's rly a team effort to take down one many-tentacle fatherfvcker (tamayo's def the mvp). and though there's no significant casualties - particularly of obamitsu that i was dreading - i know it's gonna be a ride from here, even if i cant believe there's only one volume left omggg.
