The ending of Demon Slayer has been a finale that many fans simply can’t believe, with the anime adaptation just finishing its first season and an upcoming feature length film that follows a story arc that sees the main monster hunters jumping aboard the “Infinity Train”. Ufotable helped the series gain popularity among fans thanks in part to the animation studio using some energetic and eclectic animation to portray the hard hitting battles within the Demon Slayer series.
Twitter User WSJ_Manga apparently got their hands on an image from the upcoming chapter of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba, 204, that states that the next chapter will be the final installment of the adventures of Tanjiro and his demon slaying companions:

The anime series has yet to confirm its second season as of yet, but it seems almost assured considering how big the property has become, but it will be interesting to see if the studio begins creating “filler stories” in order to pad the run time of the popular anime. Though we couldn’t calculate how many seasons the television series would be if it stuck strictly to the manga, we would have to imagine that it would be around two to three tops. The manga may be coming to an end, but perhaps a sequel series or spin-off will emerge that will focus on a different character that we’ve come to know over the course of the series.
Personally, we’re pulling for an Inosuke series that follows the pig-headed warrior as he lunges into battle.
