JUMPjBOOKS is one of Shueisha's novel labels, first published in 1993.
The novel versions derived from serialized works in Shonen Jump, JUMP SQ., Young Jump, etc. have continued to evolve and gain popularity in order to appeal more to fans of the original works, such as reading episodes not depicted in the main story and enjoying the activities of familiar characters in a different setting.

The "Demon Slayer" series will launch its first volume, "Demon Slayer" in February 2019, and the second volume, "Demon Slayer: The Flower of Happiness" and "Demon Slayer: The Butterfly with One Wing," in February 2019. Demon Slayer Shiawase no Hana (Flower of Happiness)" and the second volume "Demon Slayer Katabane no Butterfly" were published in October, and with the reprinting on December 10, the total number of copies sold exceeded 700,000, making it the fastest in the label's history.

The reason for this popularity is that "episodes not depicted in the main story can be read with illustrations by the original author. In particular, since the latest "Demon Slayer" comic and the JUMP magazine are serious in nature, the novel version, with its heartwarming episodes, is a "nice break" from the seriousness of the story.


The illustration above is a scene from "Demon Slayer: Butterflies of One Wing," in which the pillars plot to make Giyu Tomioka laugh.
This scene can only be seen in JUMPjBOOKS, so why don't you pick up a copy?
