Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
In Taisho-era Japan, Tanjiro Kamado is a kind-hearted boy who sells charcoal to support his family, until he returns home one day to find them slaughtered by a demon. His younger sister Nezuko is the only survivor, but she has been turned into a demon herself, and somehow she still clings to a trace of her humanity. Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps, a secret group of swordsmen who hunt demons by night, determined to find the one behind the attack and a way to turn Nezuko back. As he trains and takes on stronger enemies, he meets fellow slayers with their own scars and strengths, and discovers that the demons he fights are often tragic figures with stories of their own. It's a story about the pull between mercy and duty, with striking sword fights and a bond between siblings at its heart.
