Definitely not. Genya remains outside the ranks of Hashira throughout the manga. This is because of a combination of factors such as his skills, experiences, and the overall direction of the story.
Well, the circumstances of Genya's death in the manga are quite complex. It involves a series of events and confrontations with powerful enemies. But I can't recall all the details at the moment.
One great 'Muichiro x Reader' fanfiction is 'A Meeting in the Mist'. It beautifully captures Muichiro's somewhat aloof nature while gradually developing a sweet relationship with the reader. The descriptive language used really makes you feel like you're in the Demon Slayer world with them.
One common theme is the deep emotional bond between them. Given their relationship in the original work, fanfictions often explore how they support and care for each other on a more profound level. Another theme could be adventure, where they go on quests together and their relationship develops during those experiences.
The relationship development between Muichiro and the reader has to be believable. It can't be too rushed. A slow - burn, where they gradually get to know each other, understand each other's quirks, and form a deep connection over time is much more appealing. Also, the setting should be in line with the Demon Slayer universe. Whether it's in the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters or on a mission, the details of the world should be well - described.
