Demon Slayer Volume 4, by Koyoharu Gotouge

 

Tanjiro begins on a perilous adventure to recover his sister to normalcy and vanquish the demon responsible for his life's demise.

Tanjiro gets the chance to learn more about the fighter wearing the boar-head mask after a bloody combat with a demon within a perplexing home of constantly shifting rooms. What does this fervent swordsman seek, and who is he? Later, a new assignment sends Tanjiro and his fellow countrymen to Mt. Natagumo to face an unknown and terrifying danger in the manga Demon Slayer Volume 4, by Koyoharu Gotouge. 

As seen by introducing a new character, Inosuke, who joins him after engaging in conflict over Nezuko's presence, Tanjiro appears to be unintentionally building a squad. The three are then asked to stay at the home of a family who helps the Demon Slayer Corps, which provides us with more information about the company of the group. However, the next mission they are given is hazardous because it involves a hillside full of spider demons, who can turn living things into puppets and infect them to produce more spider demons. It appears that sometimes the Demon Slayer Corps is aware of how difficult it is because they are preparing to send their top team. Finally, this manga has a good balance of world-building, action, and character development.
