Mitsuri Kanroj is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps in the Demon Slayer Anime. For more information about him, check out the fandom wiki page. For more information about the nanoblock builds, check out my collections page for links to other reviews.
This nanoblock build is split into 2 parts. There is the head and the body.
The build begins with a layer of skin-tone brick on the base with pink for the hair on the back of her head. I built the head on my nanoblock pad. Her head is more tricky than a lot of the other Demon Slayer builds because of the detail in her hair. Other than the hair, the head goes up in straightforward layers.
Once you build the main unit of the head, you add the detail to the front of the head. I found these to be confusing instructions, but I figured it out.
After finishing the head, it’s time to move on to the body.
The body begins with a layer of smaller bricks. There are 2 bricks with studs on the sides, so the layer doesn’t lie flat, so you can’t build the body on the nanoblock pad. The next layer connects all the bricks in the base layer so the body can easily be held.
The next couple of layers are straightforward.
Mitsuri Kanroji wears her jacket open. This means that her breasts are visible. There is a step where you add her breasts. The fact that the bricks aren’t lined up with the other body bricks isn’t clear from the instructions. After adding the breasts, there is a final step to complete the body.
The next step is to connect the head to the body.
There are a few more steps to add some details. First, there is her hair in front. The instructions for these hair bits were a bit rough. By looking at the picture on the box, I could figure out how the hair should look. The last step is to add her sword to the front and back of the body.
So far, I have built 10 of the Demon Slayer nanoblock builds, which is by the most challenging of the figures. Mitsuri Kanroji has the most complicated hair in terms of various bricks used to create both while building the head and in the final details. She also has a lot more detail in her body than a lot of the other builds.
Things I liked:
- I really like her hair and how much detail was put into creating it
- I really appreciated that you could adjust and make her breasts larger and smaller. Some of the older builds for busty female characters had breasts that seemed huge compared to the rest of the build
Things I didn’t like:
- I wish the hilt of the sword was a short brick or that the back was 2 bricks long so that the hilt and sword were different lengths
