This was very much not the book for me, as I'm only a casual fan of the Demon Slayer: Kitmetsu no Yaiba series. The art was really pretty and it was neat to see the wide variety created for the anime, packaging, and promotion but the book could have used some explanations on the context, importance, and use of the art. And it would have been great to see some process notes or descriptions too. Too much style and not enough substance for me.

Loved the full color spreads, but I think where this art book really shines is the collection of holiday/Collab designs. There are so many and that artwork isn't often available outside of the events, and when they end, isn't seen again. I loved the cafe and spooky holiday ones especially. This would be a nice edition for our library as it's very graphic heavy (there's little to no text) and the graphics are school appropriate.

Thank you Netgalley and Viz for the digitately ARC.

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy of The art of demon slayer. this was so cool to see all that went into it and some full color art!
