The Glory of Facial Expressions in KNY Manga
Okay, we all remember the scene where Tanjiro announces he’s gonna kill Muzan and everyone kinda laughs at him like “Ah what a silly little guy thinking he can kill Muzan!” Shinobu has the cutest giggle, Gyoumei even chuckles so warmly! They all look so lovely and normal!
AND THEN IN THE MANGA IT’S CHAOS.
Kyojuro is just SO INTO IT. Kagaya is the sweetest of course and is like “Mhm good job honey you’ll get there eventually! But let’s try and start with something small :)”, and meanwhile his daughter is just staring at Tanjiro like he’s started reciting poetry backwards in Dutch. Muichiro has absolutely no clue what’s going on. Shinobu is going through the five stages of secondhand embarrassment. Gyoumei is repressing the hardest laughter of his life to the point where his cheeks are puffing out and he’s physically shaking. TENGEN IS ABOUT TO HAVE A FUCKING ANEURYSM. This right here is absolute art. I love the anime to pieces, but holy SHIT is the manga comedy gold.
