The new manga Kimetsu Gakuen! will start in the September issue of Saikyo Jump which is scheduled to be released on August 4. “Hell Warden Higuma” creator Natsuki Hokami will be penning the series with Koyoharu Gotouge, the original creator of the Demon Slayer franchise.

Kimetsu Gakuen! will focus on the characters we know from the main series in a ‘deformed’ style based on the shorts that aired after the TV anime series episodes.
