Synopsis

In Taisho-era Japan, kindhearted charcoal seller Tanjiro Kamado returns home to find his family slaughtered by a demon and his younger sister Nezuko transformed into one. Determined to find a cure for her and hunt down the demon responsible, he sets out on the path of the Demon Slayer.

At Mt. Natagumo, Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke battle a terrible family of spider demons. Taking on such powerful enemies demands all the skill and luck Tanjiro has as he and his companions fight to rescue Nezuko from the spiders' web. The battle is drawing in other Demon Slayers but not all of them will leave Mt. Natagumo alive—or in one piece!
