The story of "Demon Slayer" is set in Japan during the Taisho era, where a secret society known as the Demon Slayer Corps wages a secret war against demons for centuries. In this manga, demons are depicted as humans who have sold their humanity for power, feeding on humans and possessing supernatural abilities like magic and regeneration. Demons can only be killed by decapitation with weapons made of "Sunlight Metal," poisoning them with poison from "Wisteria" flowers, or exposing them to sunlight. On the other hand, demon slayers are ordinary humans who use special breathing techniques known as "Breathing Styles," which grant them supernatural powers and increased resistance.
Tanjiro Kamado is a kind-hearted and intelligent boy who lives in the mountains with his family. After his father's death, Tanjiro becomes the sole provider for his family, selling charcoal in the nearby village. His life takes a drastic turn when he returns home to find his family attacked and slaughtered by a demon, leaving him and his sister Nezuko as the only survivors. After meeting a demon slayer named Giyu Tomioka, Tanjiro is recruited for training as a demon slayer by Sakonji Urokodaki, a retired teacher, with the goal of helping his sister Nezuko return to being human and seeking revenge for his family's death.
After two years of rigorous training, Tanjiro participated in a challenging exam and successfully passed, becoming an official member of the Demon Slayer Corps. He embarks on hunting and killing demons with his hybrid sister Nezuko, ensuring her safety before battles to protect humans. During his journey, Tanjiro encounters "Asakusa" where he meets "Tamayo," who assist him in developing a cure for Nezuko. However, to obtain the cure, Tanjiro needs blood from "Twelve Kizuki," the most powerful demons under Muzan's command. Tanjiro continues his missions with the help of his comrades from the Corps, facing escalating challenges and battles against Kizuki in a quest to save Nezuko and seek revenge for his family.
Tanjiro continues his missions with his colleagues Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira, survivors of a tough exam. They encounter a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, but manage to overcome him and save him with the help of the Corps. At headquarters, Tanjiro's sister participates in a council with Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira, and Tengen Uzui, where controversy arises regarding Nezuko.
