Tanjiro sets out on the path of the Demon Slayer to save his sister and avenge his family!
In Taisho-era Japan, Tanjiro Kamado is a kindhearted boy who makes a living selling charcoal. But his peaceful life is shattered when a demon slaughters his entire family.

Review:
At this point, I really don't get the huge fanbase for this series.
Maybe the anime is different? Maybe it gets better?
Given the previous rush of plot points, it was no surprise that this
cliffhanger battle wraps up rather quickly. And of course it doesn't
quite go where he hoped it would, so Tanjiro is off on another
mission from the crow.
This new mission features some kids trapped inside a
demon-controlled, ever-changing house. It's a bit of a puzzle, which
is complicated by Tanjiro meeting another demon slayer, only this one
is utterly useless and whines and cries and is too terrified by
demons to fight them.
Zenitsu is more annoying than funny. But my actual issue with this
volume, was the fact that supposedly Tanjiro was majorly injured—he
claimed to have a broken rib and leg—and yet, he was still doing a
lot of fighting and jumping around. He was doing way too much moving
around to have that many injuries, and it just seemed unnecessary.
Zenitsu wasn't forced to take enough of the fighting for it to be
necessary, I didn't think.
The only real interest I have in this series is Nezuko, honestly. I
find her character really interesting, and I want to like the
brother-sister relationship focus. I'm just not all that into the
other characters, or the way the story is being told, I think.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
Its Awesome Anime..Watched Demon Slayer Twice.
