Kimetsu no Yaiba: Katahane no Chou

This second light novel in the Kimetsu no Yaiba series includes six short stories. The first explores the origins of the Kouchou sisters as Demon Slayers. In another, Uzui encourages Zenitsu to complete his training by promising a mixed-gender bath, prompting Zenitsu to involve Inosuke in his efforts. Mitsuri becomes distressed after learning about Shinobu's reasons for joining the Demon Slayer Corps and starts avoiding the Hashiras, while Shinobu and Obanai try to help. Another story features Genya reflecting on his older brother during a quiet day at the Butterfly estate. The pillars also attempt to make Tomioka laugh in a lighthearted gathering. The final story is a short, comedic piece imagining the characters as modern students preparing for a school festival.
