The anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" is a work based on the manga of the same name by Koyoharu Gotoge.

In response to this collaboration announcement, many joyful and expectant comments have poured in from fans, such as "Seeing the chibi characters holding so much bread is the ultimate healing," "I am definitely going, I will go buy it," "Total Concentration, Purchasing Breathing, First Form: 'Bulk Buying'!" and "Munching Giyu-san is so cute."
