- Manga Status: Completed
- Anime Status: Ongoing (Infinity Castle Arc)
Demon Slayer is a phenomenon. While the plot is simple—Tanjiro Kamado’s family is slaughtered by demons, and his sister Nezuko turns into one, so he joins the Demon Slayer Corps to find a cure—the execution is flawless.
Why it’s a top manga recommendation: The manga by Koyoharu Gotouge moves at a brisk pace (205 chapters). It doesn't drag. The art style in the manga is rough and sketchy, which adds a frantic energy to the sword fights. Paired with the Ufotable anime (which breaks the internet every time a new episode drops), this is a must-read and must-watch.
