General Synopsis of Kimetsu no Yaiba
Tanjirou Kamado lives with his impoverished family on a
remote mountain. As the eldest brother, he has taken on the responsibility of
providing for his family following the death of his father. On a cold winter's
day, he goes down to the local village to sell charcoal. As night falls, he is
forced to spend the night in the home of a curious man who warns him of strange
creatures that roam the night: malevolent demons that crave human flesh.
When he finally arrives home, Tanjirou's worst nightmare
has come true. His entire family has been brutally slaughtered, with the sole
exception of his sister Nezuko, who has been turned into a flesh-eating demon.
Driven by hatred and despair, Tanjirou desperately tries to stop Nezuko from
attacking others, setting out on a journey to avenge his family and find a way
to turn his beloved sister back into a human.
