The third manga set I’m collecting is Demon Slayer. I think over the next decade it will become the third most popular manga series (and arguably anime as well) ever. I think the market is currently undervaluing Demon Slayer. The catalysts for this franchise, which just reached its tenth year anniversary: By July 2025, the manga had surpassed 220 million copies in circulation worldwide across just 23 volumes, cementing it among the all-time best-selling manga series. This is incredible for a title that finished its manga run in under FOUR years, unlike other top-selling mangas that went on for decades. Demon Slayer outperforms every other all-time franchise on a per-book (manga) basis. Demon Slayer has already surpassed Naruto (often viewed as the third most notable anime/manga behind only One Piece and Dragon Ball) in domestic Japanese sales, and globally sits within striking distance of Naruto’s 250 million worldwide total. The primary catalyst pushing Demon Slayer will be the Infinity Castle film trilogy, the first installment of which became one of the biggest anime movies of all time. Two more films are still to come. No doubt they will be huge worldwide successes. There is also an ongoing TCG for Demon Slayer, part of the Union Arena sets by Bandai. For collectibles, my recommendations to focus on are: Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba Manga Volume 1, 1st Print from 2016 in Japanese. See first image below. 2016 Weekly Shonen Jump Issue No. 11 - first episode of Demon Slayer ever featured in the comic series Shonen Jump. The true genesis for the IP. See second image below.
