New “Wataru Mugs” are here for fans of the *Kimetsu no Yaiba* anime! These charming Japanese barrel mugs feature engravings of the iconic “Wisteria Flower Crest” (Fujinohana no Kamon) from the series, as well as the “Metsu” (滅) character etched onto the Demon Slayer Corps uniform (Kishatsutai Taiifuku) and Kamado Tanjiroo’s Nichirin Sword.
About Kimetsu no Yaiba
*Kimetsu no Yaiba* is a sensational anime series adapted from Gotouge Koyoharu’s manga, which boasts an astounding cumulative circulation of over 220 million copies across its 23 volumes published by Shueisha’s “Jump Comics.” The story follows Kamado Tanjiroo, a young boy whose family is tragically slain by a demon. To transform his younger sister, Kamado Nezuko, back into a human, he joins the elite Demon Slayer Corps (Kishatsutai) and plunges into a perilous battle against demons. The series captivated audiences with its poignant narrative of humans and demons, thrilling sword action, charismatic characters, and delightful comedic moments sprinkled throughout.
The anime adaptation, brought to life by the renowned animation studio ufotable, began its journey in April 2019 with the TV anime *Kimetsu no Yaiba: Kamado Tanjiroo Risshihen*. The series has continued to expand, and it was recently announced that *Gekijoo-ban Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugenjo-hen* (Movie Version *Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle Arc*) will be a three-part film series. The first chapter, “Dai Isshoo Akaza Sairai” (Chapter 1: Akaza Returns), premiered on July 18th, setting the stage for the ultimate battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and demons within the formidable Infinity Castle (Mugenjo).
