Synopsis:
Tanjiro died after the final battle against Muzan.
When he opened his eyes again, he wasn't in heaven. Fine. But why was he in hell?!!
He couldn't believe it, but once he realized he couldn't leave for the time being, he decided to make the best of it. Under the guidance of Hozuki, an assistant official in hell, he received a trial work pass as a torturer.
As a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjiro didn't know if having to work for demons after death counted as a hellish joke. But his competence and gentle, dependable big-brother nature soon made him famous in Enma's Court. Every torturer who spent time with him couldn't help calling him Mom.
Gradually, Tanjiro grew accustomed to working in hell, but he always carried one regret. He'd had so much left to say to that person while he was alive, but even in death, the other person could only have gone to heaven...
Before he could dwell on his sadness for long, he heard two pieces of bad news.
First, Giyu had passed away after him, and his soul was still missing.
Second, Muzan had escaped from prison and fled into Pot Heaven, where legend said three thousand miniature worlds had been sealed away.
To clean up the mess, Tanjiro accepted Enma's Court's request and set out once again to hunt Muzan.
But Tanjiro, who was prepared to defeat Muzan in world after world, saw those tranquil, deep-sea-blue eyes first. The instant their gazes met, ripples stirred.
Huh? Why was Giyu here?
Once he realized that this wasn't the Giyu from his own world, Tanjiro resolved to deal with Muzan as quickly as possible, so he wouldn't affect the development of the world's timeline.
He absolutely couldn't let his feelings get in the way!
Tanjiro turned and walked away, sad but resolute. His actions clearly made the Giyu from another world misunderstand something.
The Tanjiro who was always calling out, “Giyu-san!” had turned cold, and was rushing off with something dangerous while shouting a man's name he claimed not to know... Was he cheating? (?)
Thinking this, Tomioka Giyu decisively grabbed Tanjiro's hand, trying to turn his attention toward himself. “Tanjiro, shall we go eat soba?”
Caught off guard, Tanjiro stared at him. “Huh?”
After that, Tanjiro finally understood how Giyu must have felt during the Hashira training.
Notes:
1. Main character is the uke. Pairing: Giyu x Tanjiro.
2. There are tons of alternate takes and original worldbuilding. Please be aware the characters may be out of character. If I haven't written them well, feel free to blame the author.
3. The main style is quick transmigration, and it will cross over with other manga.
5. In some worlds, Giyu won't know Tanjiro, so things will be different. The romance between Giyu and Tanjiro reflects the author's personal tastes and interpretation, so it may not suit yours. Sorry about that.
6. Note: The story opens after Muzan's death. In this alternate scenario, Tanjiro became the Demon King but did not survive.
