Volume 2 is out! Thank you! I’m

troubling a lot of people, but I'll keep
doing my best. On the way to the
convenience store in my neighborhood,
I came across vomit on the ground three
times, but I'll keep doing my best.

In Taisho-era Japan, young Tanjiro makes a living selling charcoal.

One day, demons kill his family and turn his younger sister Nezuko
into a demon. Tanjiro and Nezuko set out to find a way to return
Nezuko to human form! They meet Giyu, a member of the Demon
Slayer Corps. At Giyu’s urging, Tanjiro decides to join the Demon
Slayer Corps, and goes to train with Urokodaki. Having completed
the strict training, he advances to the Final Selection. Tanjiro
confronts a deformed demon with a grudge against Urokodaki,
and although he tries to use the new fighting techniques
he has learned, they may not be enough...
