Demon Slayer Novelizations to Get Audiobook Adaptations in 2026

Shueisha's Miri Bunko imprint will produce audiobooks for its popular "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Novelization" series. The first two titles are scheduled for release in spring 2026.

The initial releases will be "Demon Slayer Novelization: Tanjiro and Nezuko, The Beginning of Fate" and "Demon Slayer Novelization: Sibling Bonds and the Demon Slayer Corps." Both are written by Matsuda Shuka, based on the original manga by Koyoharu Gotouge. The audiobooks will be narrated by voice actors Itō Tomoya, Bonkohara Yasushi, Kanemoto Ryōsuke, and Ōki Sakieko.

The novels are aimed at younger readers, adapting the manga's story into prose. Pricing and specific distribution platforms will be announced later via the publisher's "Shueisha OTO Content" website and social media channels.

Separately, a new print edition titled "Demon Slayer: The Flower of Happiness (Miri Bunko Edition)" by Yajima Aya will be published on March 18, 2026. This edition will feature a story about Tanjiro searching for a legendary flower for Nezuko, along with other side stories and a novelization of the "Kimetsu Academy" spin-off. It will be priced at 880 yen.

More details will be available on the official X (Twitter) and TikTok accounts.
