The series initially began as a manga in 2016 and is still running 16 volumes later. The anime series was due to launch this year in 2019 and began airing in April.

Members of the Demon Slayer Corps., all have sword-fighting techniques based on breathing styles. You’ll see the beautiful blue and white waves appear in sync to water breathing techniques, swift yet elegant flight of butterflies with the breath of the insect techniques, and the sharp and bright lightning from the lightning breathing techniques. Every technique you get the chance to see in both the manga and anime are exploding with details.

One of the highlights of Demon Slayer is its a wide variety of characters. On the one hand, there is the honest and warm-hearted Tanjiro, and on the other hand, there is the cowardly and weak-willed Zenitsu, who is more than willing to give up without even trying. Between intense scenes with fights against demons, there are light-hearted moments between characters that help make each of their personalities shine bright. You can see their personalities captured hilariously on phone strapsavailable here on ZenPlus!
