The Demon Slayer Box Set collects all volumes of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotouge, one of the most popular shonen manga released. It tells the story of siblings Tanjiro and Nezuko, who are forced out of their quaint and quiet life after losing everything at the hands of a demon. During the attack, Nezuko is transformed into a demon, so Tanjiro sets out to find a way to return her back to normal.
One of the best things about Demon Slayer is its setting, which is inspired by Taisho-era Japan. It’s set in the past, but it feels so modern and current, and it’s this blend that makes it such an exciting read. It has a gripping story that, while dark, is also full of light thanks to characters, like Tanjiro, whose gentle and kind heart is warming to watch.
It’s one that I recommend checking out, whether it be the anime or the manga. If you want to collect the manga, though, one of the best ways to do so is via the Demon Slayer Box Set, which collects all 23 volumes of the series as well as an exclusive double-sided poster and a commemorative booklet. The extras that come with this box set are pretty standard for a Viz manga box set, and while they didn’t go above and beyond as something like the Akira 35th Anniversary Box Set, any extras are welcome nonetheless, especially given that you are getting the complete series for a discounted price.
As far as design goes, the artwork on the box is nice. On one side, you have artwork of Muzan battling against Tanjiro, and on the other, you have artwork of the main characters as well as some of the Hashira. Having the box is helpful, especially if you are short on shelf space. The box is a secure way to store the entire manga if needed and it’s great to have as well if you plan on moving anytime in the near or foreseeable future. The box looks great when put on display, but as an added bonus, you can safely and securely store the Demon Slayer volumes in its box.
As with many box sets, the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba volumes are cheaper in this box set in comparison to what they’d cost you individually. Of course, this is a big reason to look into getting this box set but it also looks great on display as well. This box set is one you can often find on discount when shopping for manga deals and sales. I’ve actually seen it get as low as 45%+ off on select sites, so it’s a great deal if you are looking to get into the series.
When bought at retail, though, the Demon Slayer Box Set will cost you $199.99 USD. Since this is a Complete Manga Box Set that collects all 23 volumes of the series, each volume will cost you around $8.69 USD when bought in the box set. The individual volumes retail for $9.99 USD apiece, so the Demon Slayer Box Set saves you close to $30. Of course, you can find this box set on sale from time to time as mentioned earlier, which will add even more to your savings.
On top of being the cheapest way to collect Demon Slayer, the Demon Slayer Box Set allows you to collect the full series in one go. There’s something satisfying about being able to fully complete a series via one box set and the Demon Slayer Box Set is the best way, as well as the cheapest way, to collect the series to date.
Where to Shop the Demon Slayer Box Set
The Demon Slayer Manga Box Set is not the only Complete Box Set that Viz has released so far. They’ve also released Complete Box Sets for Death Note, Tokyo Ghoul, Claymore, and Rosario Vampire to name a few, all of which are some of the best manga box sets to release so far if you are looking to shop more!
