Demon Slayer Manga Order

  • by

The manga series Demon Slayer only started in 2016, but is already one of the best-selling manga series and has spun one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time.

Written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a Shōnen manga that follows Tanjiro Kamado, a young man on a quest to restore his young sister’s humanity after she was transformed into a demon and the rest of his family was slaughtered. For this purpose, he goes on rigorous training to become a Demon Slayer and join the Demon Slayer Corps.

Tanjiro’s story is now complete as the shōnen consists of 23 volumes, all released between 2016 and 2020. The Demon Slayer Universe has naturally expanded beyond the main manga, with light novels, spin-offs, and of course, an anime television series which is a smashing hit and still ongoing! There are also anime films and video games, per usual.
