What Chapter To Read After Mugen Train

So, You Finished Mugen Train? Now What?

Okay, let's be honest. You just watched Mugen Train. Maybe you cried. Maybe you screamed at the screen. We've all been there.

But now the big question looms: what Demon Slayer chapter do you read next? Everyone yells, "Start with Chapter 67!" Is that...really the best choice?

The Popular (and Maybe Boring) Choice: Chapter 67

Yep, everyone and their grandma will tell you to pick up at Chapter 67. This is where the Entertainment District Arc begins.

It's the "logical" place. It follows the movie chronologically. Fine, be logical.

My Wild, Unpopular, But Totally Awesome Opinion

But hear me out. What if... we skipped ahead a little? Just a tiny bit?

I say, jump to... drumroll... Chapter 98! (ish)

Yes, I know, I know! People are going to throw tomatoes. Calm down!

Why would I suggest such madness? Let's talk about it.

Why Skip Ahead? Embrace the Chaos!

First, let's consider the emotional whiplash. You're coming off a train full of tears. Do you really want to jump straight into...more demons?

Sometimes, a little breathing room is nice. A palette cleanser, if you will.

Also, the Entertainment District Arc is... intense. Prepare yourself for a whole lot of flashy action. It is, after all, named the Entertainment District.

Chapter 98(ish): The Start of Something New

Around Chapter 98, the Swordsmith Village Arc starts to get going. And guess what? It features Tanjiro getting a new sword!

It is a less emotionally devastating story. It's a change of pace before diving back into the heavier stuff.

Think of it as a mini-vacation from all the demon-slaying angst.

The "But What About...?" Argument

I know what you're thinking! "But won't I be confused? What will I miss?"

Okay, fair point. You will miss some setup for future events. However, you could always go back and read the Entertainment District Arc later!

Or even better, watch the anime if you have not already! Demon Slayer anime is a visual treat. So consider that first.

The Ultimate Decision: It's Up to You!

Look, I'm not saying my way is the only way. But I think it's a fun, slightly rebellious way to experience the story.

Read whatever makes you happy. That's the whole point of enjoying Demon Slayer, right?

So, Chapter 67? Or Chapter 98-ish? Maybe flip a coin? The choice is yours.

Just promise me one thing: keep enjoying the wild ride!

Just remember to always support Koyoharu Gotouge, the amazing creator of Demon Slayer, by buying the manga, or watching the anime!
