KOYOHARU GOTOUGE I'm Gotouge—welcome to volume 15! ‘Thank you to everyone who has supported me, ‘The anime is really coming together. I got to see a sneak peek! 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 at 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 lot 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 Gotouge All rights reserved.
