Demon Slayer Artbook Slated For North American Release

By Evan Valentine

Demon Slayer has risen the ranks in a relatively short amount of time to become one of the biggest anime franchises in the world today and fans in North America have definitely warmed up to the story of Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, and Zenitsu. Next year, fans in the West will have the opportunity to study the art of creator Koyoharu Gotoge even closer as Viz Media has announced that a new art book is set to arrive for followers of the Demon Slayer Corps.       

The second season of Demon Slayer came to an end with Tanjiro and the young members of the Demon Slayer Corps managing to defeat two of the strongest demons that they encountered to date in the demonic siblings known as Gyutaro and Daki. With the pair of villains both having their heads stricken from their shoulders, the final moments of season two hinted at the strongest warriors under the thrall of Muzan, the head of the demons who started the journey of Tanjiro and Nezuko by eliminating their family members. It will be interesting to see what art is featured in this new art book from Gotoge.

Viz Media revealed the first look at Demon Slayer's upcoming art book, which is slated to arrive in the spring of next year and will collect a number of different pieces from the mangaka who created one of the biggest Shonen franchises released in the past few years:

Demon Slayer has become such a hit across the board that the first movie of the Shonen series pulled in hundreds of millions of dollars and rose to become the biggest anime movie of all time. On top of this, the television series is one of the most-watched anime in Japan and the manga has even managed to outsell Eiichiro Oda's pirate epic in One Piece, proving how far the Demon Slayer Corps has come in a relatively short amount of time since its debut. 

Will you be picking up this artbook from Koyoharu Gotoge when it arrives in stores next year? What predictions do you have for the third season of the series and the Swordsmith Village Arc?
