Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Synopsis
The story
It is the Taisho Period in Japan. Tanjiro, a kindhearted boy who sells charcoal for a living, finds his family slaughtered by a demon. To make matters worse, his younger sister Nezuko, the sole survivor, has been transformed into a demon herself. Though devastated by this grim reality, Tanjiro resolves to become a “demon slayer” so that he can turn his sister back into a human, and kill the demon that massacred his family.

The weak have no rights or choices. Their only fate is to be relentlessly crushed by the strong.

Competently crafted, yet safe, Kimetsu no Yaiba can stand toe to toe with its contemporaries with its head held high.

Straightforward lore + amazing adaptation + consistent during the whole 2 cour = consider me all aboard the hype train

It's a solid foundation to a potentially great shounen. It's not unique, but it's charming.
