In addition, CBR noted a new manga about the two fan-favorite Hashira’s would be out in 2022.
Titled Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba–Stories of Water and Flame, Viz Media announced it would follow the story of Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka and Flame Hashira Rengoku Kyojuro.
It will be a back-to-back tale based on the world of Demon Slayer.
So far, there are no official details about the upcoming new manga, aside from the targeted spring 2022 release window.
The original manga series has officially ended in 2020 with 23 volumes. Its English translation, alternatively, will be out later this summer.
The anime’s first season concluded in 2019, so fans are now waiting for the second season’s release.
“In Taisho-era Japan, Tanjiro Kamado is a kindhearted boy who makes a living selling charcoal. But his peaceful life is shattered when a demon slaughters his entire family,” the mangas’s official synopsis reads.
“His little sister Nezuko is the only survivor, but she has been transformed into a demon herself! Tanjiro sets out on a dangerous journey to find a way to return his sister to normal and destroy the demon who ruined his life,” it continues.
The Demon Slayer new book, Kimetsu no Yaiba Novel: Operation Infiltrate the Entertainment District Arc, will be out on July 16.
