Synopsis[]
In Taisho-era Japan, kindhearted Tanjiro Kamado makes a living selling charcoal. But his peaceful life is shattered when a demon slaughters his entire family. His little sister Nezuko is the only survivor, but she has been transformed into a demon herself! Tanjiro sets out on a dangerous journey to find a way to return his sister to normal and destroy the demon who ruined his life.
During final selection for the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjiro faces a disfigured demon and uses the techniques taught by his master, Urokodaki! As Tanjiro begins to walk the path of the Demon Slayer, his search for the demon who murdered his family leads him to investigate the disappearances of young girls in a nearby town.

- "Dead" Tanjiro, aka "Deadjiro". This is a drawing Croc made for the cover of Chapter 7, but they thought his smiling face didn't fit at all with the content of the chapter. So he wasn't retained, and became what they now called a "Deadjiro".
Words of Gratitude[]
Croc (The author) says "Thank you!". Along the message for the readers:
| “ | Hello, I'm Gotoge. Volume 2 is out! Thank you. I'm causing trouble for a lot of people and getting help from a lot of people too. Thanks to everyone in the editorial department, my editor and assistants, and everyone reading and cheering for Kimetsu, I'm able to draw manga again today. I've failed so many times that a day doesn't pass when I don't worry about whether it's okay for me to draw manga, but I plan to give my best! Thanks!! | ” |
