The Demon Slayer manga is already complete. The manga's original run was from February 2016 to May 2020, spanning a total of 23 volumes.

Fans believe that the length of the manga was short, considering its popularity.

During the Final Battle arc, fans started complaining about the progression of the series.

Later on, it was revealed that the series creator, Koyoharu Gotouge, had to rush the ending of the manga because she had family issues.

She had to leave Tokyo, which might've been a hurdle if she continued the manga.

Despite the immediate ending of Demon Slayer, those who have read the manga believe that it is still one of the best works.
