Although they live impoverished lives on a remote mountain, the Kamado’s are able to enjoy a relatively quiet and happy life. One day, Tanjirou decides to go down to the local village to earn some money by selling charcoal. On the way back, night falls, forcing Tanjirou to take refuge in the house of a strange man, who warns him of flesh-eating demons that lurk in the forest at night.
The next day, when he finally returns home, he finds a horrifying sight: his entire family has been slaughtered. Worse, the only survivor is his sister Nezuko, turned into a bloodthirsty demon.
