1. Summary
One day, the protagonist, Tanjiro, has his family slaughtered by a demon.
somehow been turned into a demon.
In order to defeat the demon and return her sister to human form, Tanjiro begins to slay the demon.
2. How did it become so popular?
2.1 Intriguing characters.
Starting with the protagonist Tanjiro(炭治郎)・Nezuko(禰豆子), Demon Slayer has many fascinating characters.
Every character in Demon Slayer has a distinct personality. The background of their personalities is also well-drawn, and the structure of the story allows the reader to become emotionally involved with each person and demon.
2.2 Simple Story
The subject of this manga is simply slaying demons.
Both the "purpose" of the characters and who the enemy is are clear and easy to understand. However, there is also a story called "The Past of the demon".
The demon was originally human.
Even demons had an important family. When an demons becomes an demons, it has vague memories of its human days, but just before it dies, it can recall its old memories like a lantern. Just before they die, however, their old memories can come back to life like a lantern. Such sad episodes also add depth to the story.
2.3 Powerful animation
The biggest reason for the popularity of Demon Slayer is probably the anime.
There are many parts of this comic that are slightly less powerful and the drawings are not terribly good.
But I think it was the anime's careful attention to detail and the addition of the power and complementary features that sparked the popularity of the manga.
Episode 19 is especially popular as a divine episode.
The first time I saw it, I had goosebumps! I think it depends on the drawings and direction. I felt the level of Japanese animation production technology was high!
It's similar to the reaction in the video below.

3. Conclusion
I introduced the Demon Slayer, which has become a social phenomenon in Japan today. It is an interesting content for both children and adults.
There's a lot more to say about it, but I'll leave it at that for today.
I especially recommend the animation, so why not watch it?
My store also sells products that are only available in Japan. Please take a look!
