About Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba Stories of Water and Flame Manga
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Stories of Water and Flame features story and art by Ryoji Hirano, based on an idea by Koyoharu Gotouge.
Savage demons devour unsuspecting humans in Taisho-era Japan. Armed with special swords, the Demon Slayer Corps fights to stop the devastation demons spread. Giyu Tomioka, the sole Water Hashira, and Kyojuro Rengoku, a high-ranking Kinoe, embark on missions to eliminate demons and prove their mettle as two of the fiercest Demon Slayers.
Giyu heads north to an area where a band of hunters was killed. He and the Insect Hashira meet Yae, the daughter of a slain hunter, who believes a bear killed her father, but the truth is harder to face. Kyojuro also receives his newest assignment and hopes completing it will prove he’s worthy of the title Flame Hashira, which his father abandoned. An explosive battle unfolds as Kyojuro takes on a demon of the Twelve Kizuki who holds a grudge against Kyojuro’s father.

I think if you love Demon Slayer, I would recommend checking this out!
by Laura A. Grace
This was different than I expected!
To be honest, I don't really know what I expecting though. I really wanted to read this because RENGOKU! LOL! I can't say I had any other reason except that I wanted to see some of his backstory and I think it delivered.
I think overall Giyu's story was a lot sadder then Rengoku's when it came to the people they were interacting with. While Rengoku's was sad, I felt the first parts really pulled on my heart strings.
I think what was most surprising is how much guns were used in this story. That I can recall, there hasn't been anything with guns in the original series. (At least in the anime. I haven't read through the full manga yet.) I found that not quite as…exciting?
Overall, this was a good read! I'm wondering if I would enjoy it more the second time then the first mainly because I know what to expect next. I would definitely be interested in seeing other Hashira stories should there be more volumes or spin-offs!
A nice addition to the series

As someone that has only been watching the Demon Slayer anime and only saw this after watching Mugen Train, I wish I had read it before seeing the movie. I would suggest the same of anyone else getting into Demon Slayer. Reading this story right before the Mugen Train (or Infinity Train) arc is probably the best way to enjoy both the movie/arc and this novel.
