KOYOHARU GOTOUGE

I’m Gotouge. This is volume 11! Thank you for

spreading this meager ring of crocodiles! I can
never fully express my gratitude to everyone
for spending their precious time on this manga.
Perhaps we were comrades in arms in our for-
mer lives, Even when I feel like running away
naked, some people still read it! When I realize
I’m not alone, I can hang in there. I will work
like mad so everyone can enjoy the series more!

In Taisho-era Japan, young Tanjiro makes a living selling charcoal. One day, demons
kill his family and turn his younger sister Nezuko into a demon. Tanjiro and Nezuko set
out to find a way to return Nezuko to human form and defeat Kibutsuji, the demon who 5

killed their family!

After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjiro meets Tamayo and Yushiro—demons who
oppose Kibutsuji—who provide a clue to how Nezuko may regain her humanity. On
a new mission, Tanjiro and the others work with the Sound Hashira, Uzui. They go to

Past Life Sins

Music and Lyrics: zenithu yx A

Why do you have a girlfriend and | don’t?

What did | do wrong?
Did | commit some kind of sin in a past life?

It might have been better if | was born

As a bug or an animal or something.
If |was even dumber than | am
And didn’t have an ounce pride
I’'d chase beautiful girls with my tongue hanging out
And always be happy.

I’m so dumb that I’m totally fine.

Kicked by hooves
And knocked flying.
So | want to be reborn.
An animal is fine, or even a bug.
| want to touch a girl
And really be able to smell her.

Why do you have a girlfriend and | don’t?

What did | do wrong?
Did | commit some kind of sin in a past life?

Don’t be so cold.
It’s like you’re shooting me in the gut.
Don’t say I’m creepy
And we'll never be together.
Stop. It cuts me like a knife.
Don’t say it... |can guess.
Because | can take a hint.
