Summary
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a long-running manga by Koyoharu Gotouge, serialized in Japan's Weekly Shonen Jump from 2016. Set in the Taisho era, it follows the boy Tanjiro Kamado, whose family is attacked by demons and whose sister Nezuko is turned into one; to restore her humanity and avenge his family, Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps and grows and fights alongside his companions Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira and many of the Hashira. The series totals 23 volumes; this is Volume 19. Volume 19 picks up the climax of the "Infinity Castle" battle arc, focusing mainly on the fierce fight between Kanao Tsuyuri—the successor of Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho—and Inosuke Hashibira against Upper Rank Two, Doma. Both tremble with rage and a thirst for revenge because Doma killed their loved ones, but Doma keeps suppressing them with a variety of powerful Blood Demon Arts, making him hard to approach and leaving them in a hard fight. The volume centers on this offensive and defensive clash, carrying through the series' recurring emotional threads of revenge, inheritance, and sacrifice. The Chinese edition was published by Tong Li Publishing on June 24, 2020, translated by Lin Zhichang, with the volume subtitle "Butterfly Takes Flight."
Editor's review
第19册是《鬼灭之刃》中“蝴蝶展翅”一卷，也是全系列最让读者动容的段落之一：加奈央与伊之助面对杀害亲人的上弦之贰·童磨，愤怒到全身发抖，却仍被对方花招百出的血鬼术压制到无法靠近。这一册的价值，一在于战斗设计的紧凑——如何在无法近身的情况下找出逆转的机会；二在于情感的分量——胡蝶忍留下的意志如何由继子继承下去。 东立中文版由林志昌翻译，32开小开本单色印刷，保留了原作分镜张力，单卷即可读完一段完整对决，适合随时翻阅。对于跟着动画追到后期、想补原著细节的读者，这一册正是不该错过的高光章节；对于初次接触的读者，可以先从第1册补起，或把本册当作了解系列战斗风格的窗口。

Reading tips
- 建议先读到第15—18册，掌握了“无限城决战”的人物关系，再读本册。
- 本册战斗节奏快、角色多，可留意每场血鬼术的破解思路，读第二遍体会更深。
- 读后不妨回看胡蝶忍与加奈央的师徒片段，会更容易理解本册的情感重量。
