Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Vol. 1 (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, #1)

by Koyoharu Gotouge

Tanjiro sets out on the path of the Demon Slayer to save his sister and avenge his family!

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.

Learning to destroy demons won’t be easy, and Tanjiro barely knows where to start. The surprise appearance of another boy named Giyu, who seems to know what’s going on, might provide some answers—but only if Tanjiro can stop Giyu from killing his sister first!

I've already watched the first season of Demon Slayer, but I enjoyed it so much that I really want to revisit it as the manga. I'm so glad I bought this, I love the art style and while it is basically the exact same as the show so far it's been a lot of fun to revisit it.

I already know how the story plays out but I'm really looking forward to the next volume.
