Fanfiction - Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer)

After the release of the Kimetsu no Yaiba: Demon Slayer series, written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge, it quickly gained popularity with worldwide success. Many die-hard fans also quickly began creating their own spin-off stories from the original plot in the form of doujinshi and fanfiction. In the case of fanfiction, these are original stories written by fans that are not official and allow fans to explore new possibilities that the series can offer and expand on the original story concept.

Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer) Ship

A ship is a fan-created romance between two or more characters from an original story, and is one of the most popular topics in fanfiction. These romances don't necessarily have to match the reality of the series and depend entirely on how the fanfiction author wants to play with the stories and characters. To identify the members of a ship, fans typically create a name that combines the names of the characters involved.

Additionally, ships can be heterosexual, homosexual (or slash , in the case of men, femslash , in the case of women), poly (more than two members), and familial (between family members).

In the case of the Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer) series, there are many ships of all kinds involving various characters. The most popular ships among Demon Slayer characters are:
