Demon Slayer follows Tanjiro Kamado, a kind-hearted boy whose entire family is slaughtered by a demon one night while he was away — with the sole exception of his younger sister Nezuko, who survived by being transformed into a demon herself. Refusing to abandon his sister despite her monstrous change, Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps, an ancient organization that hunts demons, as he searches for a way to turn Nezuko back into a human and to confront Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of all demons responsible for his family's destruction.
