Synopsis

[After an Evil Ghost Is Reborn as a Woman, Her Former Enemy Passionately Confesses to Her]

Inada Gyutaro.

A despicable evil ghost who died beneath betrayal and the roar of thunder.

When he opened his eyes again, he had become that abandoned child once more, with a face much like the one from his previous life and a pair of jade-green eyes as venomous as poison.

But now he was “Aoko.”

This orphan, given a new name, became the senior disciple at Momoyama and the only light in Zenitsu’s eyes.

But she was a box with a hole in it.

The jealousy, betrayal, and humiliation of kneeling and begging for mercy, all poured into her in her previous life, had eaten through the walls of her soul.

Happiness always slipped away.

She knew why: from the very beginning, the box’s foundation had been “evil.”

Zenitsu was the only variable.

“Senior, why does your voice sound like it’s crying?” he asked fervently.

He could “hear” through every lie, yet chose to believe the desperate noise in her voice.

Because Gyutaro had come to atone.

The blade shone like a mirror. “Yaso” reflected me, yet not me.

This atonement, which began with a lie: in the end, who would be judged, me, or... everyone who tried to warm me?

When he stood stubbornly in front of Aoko, covered in wounds, and wept, “Senior, I think I’d be willing to die for you”...

But then clues about “Gyutaro” unexpectedly came to light...

“Tell me, Senior...”

“Whose shadow is it that you keep seeing through me?”

“Who are you protecting, really, me, or... some dead soul you’re trying to atone for through me?”

(Zenitsu/Gyutaro pairing)

Demon Slayer: Kaigaku Genderbend

Mainly looking for the one mentioned above. Others are fine too, like transmigrating as some character from Demon Slayer or an original character. I've been really into these lately. Anything is fine as long as it doesn't start off with a really tragic tone. Ideally, the reader knows about Demon Slayer but hasn't watched it and only has a vague idea of the plot.

I want to read something similar to Demon Slayer: A Player's Guide to Raising Good and Bad Kids. It feels like in most Demon Slayer fanfics, Kaigaku cannot escape the fate of becoming a demon. I hope this guy can get lucky for once and stay alive all the way through.
