Viz Media to Publish Three Demon Slayer Novels

February 18, 2022

Viz Media announced that it will be publishing three novels based on the hit anime series Demon Slayer later this year.

The three novels — The Flower of Happiness, One-Winged Butterfly, and Signs from the Wind — will release in the fall, and will see Aya Yajima writing all three of them. The three novels were previously released in Japan over the last couple of years, with Signs from the Wind launching in July 2020. However, to celebrate the recently announced third season of the series, Viz Media is ready to deliver them to fans in North America.

Last week, Ufotable announced that a third season is on the way. Demon Slayer Season 3 will focus on the Swordsmith Village arc and will see the main cast return with director Haruo Sotozaki and chief animation director Akira Matsushima also coming back. No release date is set yet for the show but two character posters were revealed.

Demon Slayer began as a manga series written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge. It was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from February 2016 to May 2020. The anime was also adapted into a video game by CyberConnect2 titled Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles. Both Crunchyroll and Funimation stream the series with Funimation also carrying a dubbed version.
