I've read 1000s of manga myself all the way back to some obscure 60s gekiga title, and I can tell you that Demon Slayer is an objectively, truly to honest bad manga. It does a lot of things wrong with action and they all read like a storyboard tailor made to be animated.
Gotouge is very bad at panel composition and making panels flow into one another, and he's also not good at conveying fluid motion. I shit you not, if I didn't know the one on the right is from 2019, I would have thought this was a manga from the 60s. Gege's art is also pretty bad but he knows how to use space and make panels flow. When characters fight, there's clarity which is a dealbreaker for me in battle shounen. There's a reason why Demon Slayer didn't sell well for 3 years until the anime came and bailed it out. It's like Saint Seiya all over again (but Saint Seiya was at least creative).

Simplicity (and being a gag comic artist) was Toriyama's biggest strength and the secret behind his success. On top of his art being stylish, it also had clarity. He didn't over-render the panels, throw 300 speed lines or turn every move into a Michael Bay-tier explosion. He lets the motion speak. He's one of the rare artists who thinks like a director.
