Keen observers might notice that Volume 18 of Demon Slayer is n’t on the above list. That ’s because the volume – which has been on backorder since it released in December – is listed at 26.

Volume 19 of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba released today in Japan, and while I wasn't able to find any copies in any book shop I went into (they were already sold out), I was able to see my first volume 18 in the wild at my local convenience store – though it was the third print run that was released today as well and was down to its last copy.
