As an avid anime enthusiast, I can attest that Demon Slayer has undeniably emerged as one of the grandest and most triumphant shonen series in history. The series’ popularity has soared even higher with the recent release of its latest movie, sparking a renewed fervor among fans for any fresh content from the mastermind behind it all, Koyoharu Gotouge. Fan anticipation reaches new heights as they yearn for Gotouge to resume her manga work – and their wish was recently granted, albeit in an unexpected manner.
Demon Slayer Mangaka Gotouge Drops a New Illustration
The Illustration Was Revealed In Honor of Black Clover’s 10th Anniversary
This year has seen a significant rise in popularity for Demon Slayer. In fact, the highly anticipated first film of its trilogy, “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 – Akaza’s Return”, was released. What’s more, this movie has been an unprecedented box office success, potentially claiming the top spot in Japan’s cinematic rankings.
This year has seen significant growth for another series, specifically “Black Clover”. While it had been experiencing challenges in both the anime and manga sectors, things are now taking a turn for the better. The manga has released three new chapters, and the anime is set to return. To top it off, Black Clover celebrated its 10th anniversary, an event marked by numerous mangakas contributing stunning illustrations.
The artist behind Demon Slayer, named Gotouge, wasn’t left out either. In fact, he had previously created impressive artwork for the series Black Clover, marking his return to the scene following a significant hiatus.
Gotouge drew an illustration featuring the main character Asta, as well as Noelle.
What This Means For Gotouge And Demon Slayer’s Return
A Return Is Unlikely, But A New Series Is Possible

Fans are speculating whether Gotouge might rejoin the Demon Slayer series, possibly for a new installment or spin-off, given her recent artwork release. However, it’s unlikely that she will return as she completed Demon Slayer in 2020 and has since been absent from public attention.
If Gotouge comes back to manga creation, it’s expected to be with a fresh comic series centered around humorous alien themes, which she has expressed interest in before. However, the exact timing of her return remains uncertain at this point.
Where To Watch and Read Demon Slayer?
Available on Crunchyroll and Manga Plus

The Demon Slayer manga ended back in 2020. Unlike many other series, it consists of just 205 chapters, making it a relatively quick read. If you’re a fan eagerly awaiting the films and don’t want to wait, you can delve into the story now on Manga Plus.
For the anime enthusiasts, the show currently spans across 4 seasons, all of which are available on Crunchyroll. However, future installments will transition from seasons to movies, with theaters hosting their premiere. The exact release dates vary by region.
