Wow I didn’t realize I could cry this but guess I was wrong

Ugh... I'm running out of tears at this point! Dammmmmmnit!!!!! T.T

What is this, four times I've cried reading this manga?? This isn't how my shounen is supposed to go, they're supposed to survive through the power of friendship or some shit nooooo :((((((

Welp there goes best boy

Genya no!!!
Damnit man,this is the first time tears came out while reading the manga.
He had so much going for him.

Marejei.

Wow what a chapter

AAAAAAAAAH, FUUUUUCK


This is the first time a manga made me cry, my heart feels like it got ripped apart.

Whoever translated this: I love you for giving me access to that rollercoaster of emotions.

Duude... TT o TT

@Midoriha
Two decades of peace after a lifetime of war sounds like a happy ending to me, though. Especially if spent with their loved ones.

i think the author got the reaction of waking up and basically seeing the mutilated corpse of your brother right in front of you down pat....

@Ebial why not
me too (for more accurate content)

@Midoriha
That's always in the back of my mind when I read period pieces set in the 1910's of Japan. It's like no matter what happens your world is screwed by the time your 40. My head-canon for that situation is that any survivors stick to the mountains and avoid conscription.

Did I come back to this so I can cry again? Yes I did...

@assfield
The funniest, or saddest, thing is that any survivors are nearly guaranteed to get completely fucked by WW2. If they manage to survive the mark cancer that long that is...
But hey, at least they will get a decade or two of living peacefully! Totally a happy ending, right?

Damn it, they're really gone.

The final fight with Muzan is gonna be brutal.

@A-tan
Seeing as how demon slayers wouldn't be needed in the world any more after killing Muzan I can imagine a scenario where most of the slayers die including Tanjiro. It would be a painful read, but I think it would make for a Shounen Jump ending that follows through with everything that's surprised me this far about the series like killing off Shinobu. Plus they already said that the birthmarks lead to a shorter life span with even Himejima alluding to it this chapter.

@StorageCrate
Damn it, they should leave shit like that in their fan fiction. It's truly just cringe.

@maiorem
That's fair, I didn't notice that. But since this manga also uses the imperative form of verbs in those editorials, it's also a fair assumption to make this is just the imperative version of 焦がれる. Like here, for example. But I'm not saying you're wrong, since yours made more sense as I was typing this response out. I'm just saying it's a fair interpretation of 焦がれ knowing how it's been used several times before.

The chapter uses 焦がれ, not 焦がれる. Compare the two, you'll see that 焦がれ appears to have a more limited definition than 焦がれる.
