Gr 7 Up—Tanjiro's virtuous life selling charcoal to support his mother and siblings is upended when a vampiric demon murders his family, leaving his little sister Nezuko alive but cursed. Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. After years of strenuous training, Tanjiro must take part in a formidable and deadly final exam to make him officially become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Our team is made up of book lovers who are dedicated to sourcing and providing the best books for kids. But if the manga has an anime by the time I want to get into the series, I am much more likely to watch the anime and skip the manga entirely. The surprise appearance of another boy named Giyu, who seems to know what’s going on, might provide some answers…but only if Tanjiro can stop Giyu from killing his sister first! Join Tnajiro as he beings his work hunting down and slaying demons alongside his sister, Nezuko, as they work their way up the ranks of the Hashira and try to find a cure to turn his sister back into a human again, all whilst evading the capture of Muzan and his twelve terrifying demons. Demon Slayer is a masterfully original story that makes the most of the manga medium with the same unique characters and unrelenting stakes you love, and so much more.

But everything changed when he came home one day to find his entire family violently slaughtered by a demon lurking in the nearby forest.

o :o :o That was cleared up in the manga and really appreciated that because I just sort of thought it "appeared" because "it just does" when Tanjiro uses concentration breathing.That might not seem like much considering this is Goodreads and all we do here is read and talk/think about reading.

But when his family is slaughtered, and his sister is transformed into a demon, he gets a first-hand reality check. When a morally questionable rescue transforms into the first half-human half-ghoul hybrid, ken is forcibly drawn into the dark and violent world of ghouls, existing alongside humans.

As of February 2021, the manga series had over 150 million copies in circulation, making it the ninth-bestselling manga series of all time.We’re shown flashbacks of their prior sibling interactions, and it helps to develop that bond between them. However, it might a just a generic battle shonen manga, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't have its charms.
