The spin-off will be based on Demon Slayer’s Valentine Special anime shorts in a school setting. Natsuki Hokami, the creator of Gokutei Higuma, is in charge of the upcoming spin-off.
The Valentine Special consisted of the characters as students and teachers and served the specific theme of Valentine’s. However, unlike that, this series will have many more sub-themes and stories with a lot of comedy.
The official announcement of the spin-off manga came right after Demon Slayer staff pranked the fans by releasing the same promotional video again.
This tweet was made on the show’s official Twitter to remind people of the upcoming Season 2. Instead, fans mistook it for a new PV and were frustrated to find out that it was the old one.
They really got us there :’)

Even though there was nothing special about the PV, it was still flamboyant. (Get it?!)
It is very apparent that everyone has been anxiously and desperately waiting for the new PV or at least some Season 2 update (Get the hint Demon Slayer makers!!!!)
We deserve some kind of update after this, maybe a release date? Or a new visual? Let’s keep praying they give us something soon.
