Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Volume-1 (Paperback)

Demon Slayer opens in Taisho-era Japan with a family destroyed overnight and a brother who refuses to give up on his surviving sister. Koyoharu Gotouge's first volume runs 192 pages and introduces the corps of swordsmen who hunt demons, the breathing techniques that make that work survivable, and the peculiar bond at the heart of the story. The English edition keeps the right-to-left reading order, and the artwork moves between soft, almost gentle character drawing and sharp, high-contrast action. Publisher guidance places it with readers of about fourteen to seventeen. At a glance: • The opening 192-page volume of the Demon Slayer manga • Historical Japanese setting rendered in black-and-white art • Suggested for readers of roughly 14 to 17 years • Introduces the swordsmen's corps and its breathing techniques A strong starting point for teen and adult readers new to the series, published in English by VIZ Media LLC and available from Boipoka.
