We’ve compiled a list of spin-offs, novelizations, and fan books of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba”!
From gaiden works starring characters other than Tanjiro to fan books that explain the work, we bring you the “official Onimetu” outside of the main story!

Middle and High School Consistency! Kimetsu Gakuen Monogatari

One of the most famous “Blade of the Demise” spin-offs is this extra manga.
It is created by the author himself, Mr. Agoge Yoseiharu, and is usually called “Kimetsu Gakuen” for short.

The content is a self-directed school parody using each of the characters from Onimetsu.
The setting is the present day, and it’s a comedy where Sumijiro and his friends lead a lively school life.
The point is that not only the main characters, but also demons, people who have died a horrible death, and other characters who have serious settings in the main story, as well as bad guys, are depicted in a relaxed style.

The character settings are mainly shown at the end of the comics and in the empty pages, but in the “Close Up! A Day in the Life of Sumijiro at Kimetsu Academy” in Jump Giga 2018 Winter vol. 3.
In the anime, it was visualized in the previews for episodes 14 and 17 of the first season.

As the last half of the main story was very serious and hard, this work was said to be the only way to heal.

Kimetu no Aima

This is a four-panel manga that ran in Shonen Jump+ from April to September 2019.
It was drawn by Ryoji Hirano.
It was serialized in the form of a promotional project linked to the TV anime, where stories based on the episodes aired in the anime were updated immediately after the broadcast, and the work was completed at the same time as the anime ended.

It’s a gag manga with deformed second-stature characters, and each update consists of a half-page cover and one page of four-panel manga.
There are 26 issues in total, so it’s not quite enough to make it into a comic book, but all the stories are now available for free on Shonen Jump+.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Giyu Tomioka Gaiden

This is a gaiden work that was published in Weekly Shonen Jump 18-19, 2019.

The first part is 45 pages long, and the second part is 31 pages long.

As you can see from the title, the story is about the main character of the main story, Giyu Tomioka, a water pillar.
The story takes place after he meets Sumijiro, and he and Shinobu go to the snowy mountains in the north, where they confront the daughter of an innkeeper and her father who has turned into a demon.

The story itself is serious, but the natural side of Giyu is also well depicted, making this a very satisfying middle chapter for fans.
The scene where Giyu, who rarely talks about his feelings, reminisces about the time he met Sumijiro is a must-see.
