i just finished the last volume, i can say i'm happy i got to the end and proud of myself for finishing such a long series. the first volume was quite a struggle for me, but when i got into the habit of reading everyday my speed got much faster, as the language used is very repetitive and the fighting scenes don't have much dialogue in them, i think the 26 score is inflated, but not many people have rated this yet, i'd think it's more around 22-23
i found the feudal japan setting really visually pleasing, and i liked the youkai designs and the way the author is not scared to get really gory sometimes. i also loved all of the main cast and the way they develop throughout
that being said it's got filler in the way some of the villains and powerups could've been skipped altogether without much being lost, funnily enough some of the "relaxing/break" filler sections were some of the best in the whole manga, so not all filler was bad
it wasn't the kinda series that hooked me so much it made me read 5 volumes a day, and i normally had to take breaks while reading a single volume, but it was captivating enough that i felt like reading everyday, so i'm thankful to it for letting me improve at the language.
also, most of the op/eds from the anime are great, i recommend listening while reading!
