The latest 20th volume of the super popular anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", which has dethroned the king "One Piece" from the sales throne, will be released on May 13. The official recently announced the merger of the pre-sale and electronic version of the 20th volume, and the total sales of the series of single books has exceeded 60 million.

"Demon Slayer" is a fantasy manga created by Koyoharu Gotouge. It tells the story of the Japanese Taisho period, when it is said that after the sun sets, demons come out to eat people. There are also demon hunters who kill demons and protect people. The ordinary and happy daily life of Tanjiro, a charcoal seller, changed drastically on the day his family was attacked by demons. His mother and four younger siblings were brutally killed, and his sister Nezuko, who survived with him, also turned into a ferocious demon. In order to cut off the chain of sadness, the boy never stopped fighting with demons.

Although the total cumulative sales of Demon Slayer is still lower than those of classic comics such as One Piece and Dragon Ball, its annual sales have skyrocketed since 2019, and it has already surpassed One Piece. In February of this year, the total sales were 40 million, and in less than three months, it has reached 60 million, which can be called a money-making artifact.
