Demon Slayer was the second bestselling manga in Japan in 2021, only behind the long-running popular title One Piece. Following a record-breaking run in Japanese theaters that saw it unseat Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away as the highest-grossing film of all time in Japan, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Movie: Mugen Train became the highest-grossing film released in theaters worldwide in 2020. Demon Slayer has become beloved for its handling of its core characters, as well as Ufotable’s impressive use of 2D and 3D animation.
Despite the manga ending its original serialized run in May 2020, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba still remains one of the most popular series of recent years. Despite only debuting in 2016, the series has branched beyond its anime adaptation and original manga series into spin-off series, videogames, and character-focused light novels. While no solid release date has been confirmed, fans are sure to be excited for the next season, not only for Tanjiro and his friend’s return, but for Mitsuri and Muichirō having their moment to shine.
