The original Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba manga by Koyoharu Gotouge was serialized from 2016 to 2020 in Weekly Shonen Jump. Viz Media characterizes the manga as:
Learning to combat demons is no simple task, and Tanjiro is just getting started. The unexpected arrival of another boy named Giyu, who seems to understand the situation, might offer some guidance—but only if Tanjiro can prevent Giyu from killing his sister first!
The previous Demon Slayer film, 2020’s Demon Slayer – Kimetsu No Yaiba – the Movie: Mugen Train, remains Japan’s highest-grossing film ever with a domestic revenue of 40.43 billion yen.
