Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentosho is based on Motoo Nakanishi’s original light novel and manga series. The 14-volume light novel series, published by Futabasha, serves as the foundation for the now seven-volume manga, which was written by Nakanishi and illustrated by Yū Satomi. The manga series, which began in September 2021, is published under Futabasha’s Action Comics label. Both the manga and light novel have been licensed for English publication by Seven Seas Entertainment.
HIDIVE describes Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentosho as follows:
In the Edo period, there was a shrine maiden called “Itskihime” in the mountain village of Kadono. Jinta, a wandering orphan who, along with his younger sister Suzune, drifted into the village and grew up to become the shrine maiden’s guardian, ventures into the forest to defeat a mysterious demon who speaks to him of the far future and the threat of a Demon God. So begins this epic supernatural historical fantasy series that follows a demon hunter through his century-spanning journey from the Edo to Heisei periods—all-the-while questioning his wielding of a sword.
