About Demon Slayer
The official synopsis of ‘Demon Slayer’ describes it as follows: “Set in the Taisho Period in Japan, Tanjiro, a compassionate boy who sells charcoal for a living, discovers that his family has been slaughtered by a demon. To complicate matters, his younger sister Nezuko, the only survivor, has been transformed into a demon herself,” as reported by Crunchyroll.
“Despite being devastated by this harsh reality, Tanjiro is determined to become a ‘demon slayer’ so that he can revert his sister back into a human and avenge his family’s death by killing the demon responsible,” it adds.
