Description
In Taisho-era Japan, kindhearted Tanjiro returns home to find his family slaughtered and his surviving sister, Nezuko, transformed into a demon. Although she now possesses a demon’s strength and hunger, she still shows signs of protecting him. A swordsman named Giyu recognizes their unusual bond and directs Tanjiro toward the punishing training required to join the Demon Slayer Corps. With little guidance and no experience, Tanjiro must master swordsmanship, survive a brutal selection process, and learn what separates demons from the humans they hunt. The opening volume launches a supernatural action manga driven by two linked aims: finding a way to restore Nezuko’s humanity and confronting the evil responsible for destroying their family.
