i made a similar reply on a reddit post, but i wanted to expand my thoughts.

perhaps it's due to winter break fatigue, or the jujutsu kaisen hiatus, but i found myself genuinely enjoy reading this manga. like others, i only really started because of the memes, but i stayed and even caught up without realizing it because it's pretty awesome.

now, i wouldn't go as far as to say it's the best thing ever because it's way too early to say, but it's definitely got potential and i would love to see it get adapted and viewed by a wider audience.

the art can be a hit or miss at times, but when it finds its footing, it really digs in-- the action scenes, all the goldfish symbolism, and when chihiro's coat tears to look like a fish's tail are all extremely visually interesting...! don't get me started on the emotional scenes too, the flashback scene of chihiro and his dad in chapter 14 was so sweet! i'm not that big on shonen or action (i care more about the characters than the action aspect), but the action is also compelling and EASY TO FOLLOW.

the first volume comes out on feb 2 and i'm definitely buying it to support the author, but my main concern is that once the memes permanently die down, people will drop it and it could get axed, especially since it's only really popular overseas (i'm not sure how it is in japan), so is there anyone else that genuinely likes this?

I picked it up, because the memes started to piss me off a whole lot and I wanted to make a difference and give genuine support to the author. And here I am all those weeks later, waiting eagerly for every chapter!!

Honestly I feel like the memes already died almost completely, we are slowly appraching chapter 20 and I really don't think people would be willing to let the meme live this long. Not saying I am not worried of it getting discontinued, BUT I really don't think they would axe it at this point. It is growing in popularity all this time. I feel it's gonna do good! 🔥

I got to read it the day it dropped, unbiased and meme free and felt genuinely impressed by that start, especially the art. I thought it slowed down a bit but continued because I really felt for char and Im grateful because these last few chapters went hard af.

I like it, I like the story around his dad making these swords especially, the action is alright nothing to write home about, but the story and planning make up for it.
I just want know 2 things.

1) how his dad made these swords 😅

2) how his dad ended up being so renowned.

infact maybe we should have a new series kagurabachi dad edition for all this info 😂

I didn’t even see the memes until after I read the first chapter and wanted to see if anyone else liked it :)

Tbh impressive story so far, I like the characters and no time to get bored meanwhile reading it, Chihiro personality kinda unique for me and the all time action during the manga is pretty enjoyable.

I enjoy it but it’s objectively just not that amazing

I don't use social media, I came across this one week 1 of release because I'm subscribed to SJ. I didn't ever consider liking it unironcially. Its very good so far. Too early to call it great but it has huge potential depending where it moves with the next arc.

I seen rumblings about it becoming popular so don't let the haters and meme makers hold you back from enjoying a great series.

SJ needs a couple more new series to solidify themselves with JJK and MHA coming to an end soon. Personally for series that are 30 or less in SJ, Kagurabachi and Martial Master Asumi (MMA) are the top 2 candidates at least on the action side of things. Read MMA if you havnt, it's fantastic.

I think the biggest thing to take from this is to get off social media. It's really just a cancer to ruin your favorite things. Read more manga in the spare time.

@DayRivia oohh you might be right but i'm not too mad at social media since it was the thing that introduced me to kagurabachi in the first place, hahah ^^. i don't have a subscription to shonen jump or anything like that, so a lot of the stories i pick up are from word of mouth and recommendations. i'll definitely check out mma though!

It's $3 a month. If you read Kagurabachi? you should subscribe. I'm positive it has others that you read. If we don't support the official release, Kagurabachi will be canceled.

Too bad he stopped at 7 because chapter 8 is when I began to love the series. The way Sojo casually takes out Daruma and his family to then just quietly walk into the MCs safe house and strike at him was awesome. Very great paneling.

At least get the app because you can read the latest chapters for free and still show support.

Gotta have patience with a could-be great series. Do you think you'd enjoy the first 5 chapters of one piece if it came out today? Everyone would trash Alvida and the series would get dropped.
Kagurabachi is building up to some could-be great stuff. If you don't like the artstyle, then look at the potential of the art. JJK has objectively bad art every week. But you see what the anime can do with it. I'm also enjoying KB much more than early JJK so I think this has a ton of potential.

I appreciate translators as much as the next guy, but it's honestly a shame that they picked up Kagurabachi, because it's free to read at the official source.
Support official when it's possible and use translators for series like Kingdom, which is a top 3 manga all time with no English translation.

Sorry I'm just ranting at this point. Not directed towards you.

@NaMroz I don't know if they are still cause it'd be a dedication to a really shitty bit to do it like 3 months after the fact but yeah a bunch of people were to make fun of it morbius style cause it looked really generic in the preview and the wake up with fresh hatred line did not do it any favors.

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

I'm enjoying it as well, I don't need everything I watch/read to re-invent the wheel or be revolutionary, sometimes I just want something entertaining and this is doing the job. Hope it stays in the WSJ rotation for the next several years.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

It's okay, I'm enjoying the style of the author and the paneling more than the story though.
