The visuals are so stunning, and the music is so beautiful that it made me tremble. Back when I was new to being a manga author, Inever even dreamed that Ufotable, creators of the anime I was absorbed in ar the time, would end up making my show too. But no matter how great the anime is, if the original manga doesn't stay interesting, a lor of people are going to be upset! So I'll keep on working hard!DEMON SLAYER: KIMETSU NO YAIBA VOLUME 15, Shonen Jump Edition Story and Art by KOYOHARU GOTOUGE KIMETSU NO YAIBA © 2016 by Koyoharu Gotonge All rights reserved, First published in Japan. in 2016 by SHUEISHA Ine., Tokyo.
