鬼滅の刃 [Kimetsu no Yaiba] #1

The opening volume of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba arrives with a cover that immediately sets the series' emotional tone — a determined young boy in a checkered haori clutches a katana while protectively holding a girl whose face bears a demon's markings, both figures rendered against a deep, moody black and amber backdrop. The tension between protectiveness and danger is palpable in a single image, hinting at the bond at the heart of the story. Published by Shueisha under the Jump Comics imprint, this is where one of manga's most beloved modern series takes its first step.
