Momotaro and Kimetsu no Yaiba December 4th 21:20
Keisa, a clerk at a newspaper store on the street near Shibuya station saw an unfamiliar person.
I'm an elementary school student.
"Please save the newspaper as my parents will come to pick it up later."
Yes, today (4th) is the sale date of the final volume of Kimetsu no Yaiba.
The characters appeared in the newspaper as a full-page advertisement, so they came to buy it.
It's so attractive that you can run your child to a newspaper store early in the morning.

Sold out today
The situation started early in the morning when the sun didn't rise.
People who commute to the station rushed to the stores with a different momentum and came to buy newspapers one after another.
Along with the release of the final volume of Kimetsu no Yaiba, full-scale advertisements of different major characters will appear in each newspaper.
Men who say "I came to buy for children" and usually few female customers also pick up newspapers.
A man at a store
"Usually there are many things left even after noon, but most of them sold in the morning. I'm surprised."
When I went there in the afternoon, there was a regular customer, and I asked the clerk to be confused, "Are there any national newspapers?"
Devil's Blade Search Edition
In the unprecedented boom, a phenomenon that can be called "destroying devil" is occurring.
Fans find a place similar to the scene that appears in the manga and become a hot topic.
Search Hen Ichi no Kata "Ichitoiwa"
Among them, rocks that "similar to the rocks that Sumijiro cut during his training" are appearing one after another in various parts of Japan such as Nagano, Nara, and Kumamoto.
Oniiwa Park in Gifu Prefecture also has a 7-meter-sized rock with cracks that look like it was cut in half.
In the middle of last month, it became a hot topic on SNS, and the person in charge at the town hall hurriedly named it "Ichitoiwa".
Mr. Tatsuhiko Itaya, the chief of Mitake Town, also wears a checkered costume and plays a role in PR.
Tatsuhiko Itaya, Chief of Mitake Town
"I didn't know much about the story of Kimetsu no Yaiba until the topic of rocks. Still, I shouldn't be rude to imitate wearing costumes, so how many times that scene in the anime I also looked back and studied with "total concentration". "
On holidays, the nearby drive-in parking lot for 80 cars is so crowded that it is full.
Therefore, in order to make this popular, the Goshuin, which is written as "Oni no Ichitoiwa", has also appeared at the Goshuinsho in the park.

"There are many accommodation facilities and souvenir shops around Ichitoiwa, so I hope that the popularity of Kimetsu no Yaiba will continue and the area will be revitalized."
Search edition 2 type "infinite castle"
In the lobby of a hot spring inn in Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, there is a place called "Floating Stage".
It is a hot topic that people who know this place are similar to the demon's hometown "Mugenjo" when they provide a service to welcome visitors with a shamisen.
It seems that there are many people who superimpose the service greeted by the shamisen and the demon who plays the biwa in the manga.
It seems that this hot spring inn had a big impact, such as being forced to temporarily close during the state of emergency, but it is almost full until January next year.
Devil's Blade Impact Edition Ichi no Kata "Adorable Person"
By the way, manga seems to have an influence on children that goes beyond just a boom.

(7661 elementary school students from 3rd to 6th grades nationwide answered "Benesse Corporation") The
main character, Kamado Shrine, ranked first with a big difference to the second and lower.
Shinobu Kocho of the Oni-Kaitai is in 3rd place, and 6th to 10th are all characters in the manga.
Usually, it seems that athletes and idols are often raised in such questionnaires, but this year the situation was different.
When I asked him where he was longing for, he answered like this.
"I always feel like a friend, and even if I have a lot of sad things, I get the courage to move forward without being discouraged."
"No matter how much I kill a demon,
I long
for the place where I can understand the feelings of that demon."
"I also have a sister, I want to be my sister's favorite charcoal Jiro. "
Rio Hagisawa of Benesse Corporation said, "Many voices cited the attitude and kindness of acting for family and friends without giving up. I admired the way the characters lived and regarded them as role models. Isn't it? "
Impact Edition Type 2 “Sports”
Sports are also being affected.
"I saw the devil's blade and wanted to learn it." It
is the Kendo dojo where children are hitting the gate one after another.
Children who have a longing for the appearance of vividly handling swords by exterminating demons.
According to the All Japan Kendo Dojo Federation, there are some children who are influenced by manga and start kendo.
At the Hanyu Kobukan in Hanyu City, Saitama Prefecture, three elementary school students have been affected by the Devil's Blade since October.
The number of elementary and junior high school students in this dojo, which was once crowded, has decreased to five, but in a short period of time three people have entered the dojo.
Munetaka Hayakawa, who teaches,
"I'm very happy to be interested in it. I think that if you continue kendo, you will gradually understand how good it is. By learning the manners and traditions of kendo, you can start and end with gratitude." I want you to learn the spirit
Impact edition "Momotaro"
There was a post on Twitter saying, "The youngest kindergarten recital, the play is" Momotaro and Kimetsu no Yaiba ". Somehow I understand the story."

The recital is exactly today (4th).
The title of the play was "Kimetsu Momotaro".

Devil's Blade Topic
Movements related to the hero's name and technique can also be seen in various places.
The name of the racehorse is "Tanjiro".
It is the same as the main character, Tanjiro Kamado.
The "Menko" that covers the face is similar to the checkered pattern of Sumijiro's costume.
I have run 3 races at Oi Racecourse so far, and the highest is 3rd place.
I asked Hideki Akaishi, a producer of Tanjiro and a representative of Shinkan Farm in Hokkaido.
Explaining the character of Sumijiro because he is not familiar with manga, he recalled, "Tanjiro was a horse that was not very noticeable but patient. It may be a little similar."
What a "safe breath" on this bulletin board.
It is an unknown breath that did not appear in the manga.
The type of Ichi is ... "Confirmation".
It was planned by the Traffic Regulation Division of the Saga Prefectural Police Headquarters.
The posting has already ended on November 23, but it seems that he wanted to let the driver concentrate on safe driving with the hint of the explosive hit of the movie.

It seems that the type of ginseng was a rare type that can only be seen from 5 pm to 7 pm at dusk with "early lighting".
Devil's Blade Analysis
We asked an expert in social psychology to analyze a series of movements related to these devilish blades.
Professor Akihiko Tokaji of Toyo University points out that the basic structure is the same as the hit works so far, and sees that the "timing" of corona sickness is a big difference.
Professor Akihiko Tokaji of Toyo University
"The new corona was a hit in an environment where people were oppressed, such as
spending
more time at home. In addition to having many people touching the work, it was a simple story for children. I feel that it was a work that was studded with elements that appealed to many people, such as the coolness of the characters and the appearance of confronting family love and adversity for adults, and the various backgrounds of the enemy demons. "
Searching for or imitating something similar to manga, or being influenced by the way the characters live.
Even if the final volume is sold, the movement around demon destruction is likely to spread.
