His normal life changes completely when his family is killed by demons. The only other survivor, Tanjirou's younger sister Nezuko, became a ferocious demon. To return Nezuko to normal and take revenge on the demon that killed her family, the two set out on a journey. From a young talent begins a tale of adventures of blood and swords!
