Hard-core readers who understand "setting to serve characters" are welcome to take a seat, fast eaters beware.
Cangluo Village was slaughtered by demons, leaving only one survivor - the jujitsu genius Nanba Sazo.
Once, he was a "little sun" who would open his heart to everyone, but he lost his father, companions and village overnight. After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, he merged the breath of water and wind with jujitsu, and created his own Breath of Matoi with "restraint, containment, and protection" as its core, becoming the most reliable backing on the battlefield.
However, every time someone who fought alongside him fell, a new wound opened in his heart.
He learned to be indifferent and venomous, and learned to reject any emotion that might become a "weakness"——
"As long as there is no emotion, even if you lose it, it won't hurt anymore."
Xuenayue was born in a poor but warm family. Her parents taught her to find "the person who makes her heart beat." But in the face of heavy tax pressure and illness, she eventually lost her parents and home, and was forced to wander. On a snowy night, she was rescued by Nanba Sazo on the verge of life and death. Since then, she has lived in his hut and stayed as a support staff member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
She doesn't wield a knife or go to the front line. She just quietly mends team uniforms, boils medicine, and organizes supplies for the team members in the rear.
To him, she was a quiet and clumsy presence: she would hand him a towel when he finished training, she would stuff an extra plum into his head before he went on a mission, and she would leave a light for him late at night when he came home late.
One is afraid of forming a bond, the other longs to belong.
He fights with ghosts on the front line, using his breath to protect others again and again;
She was guarding his hut in the rear and guarding his way back.
"I don't want anyone else to feel this kind of pain."
The birth of all the moves in Taming's Breath is the cry of his subconscious.
And between life and death, he gradually discovered——
What really gave him a reason to "must live",
It's not the knife and blood, but the girl who is behind, waiting for him to go back.
This is a story about loss, protection and redemption.
In the dark age where ghosts are rampant, one is bleeding on the front line and the other is waiting in the rear. Can they find the meaning of continuing to live in each other?
Intention: Even if everything is taken away by fate, people will still choose to protect them again because of their bonds.
