Green and pink striped, the candy reflects the respective costume colors of the main characters Tanjirō Kamado and Nezuko Kamado.

Even more excitingly, each pack of candy comes with collectable original stickers showing Kimetsu no Yaiba’s main characters. These stickers can only be collected from packs of Puccho candy, meaning fans can look forward to enjoying each pack even more!

The candy packaging has two design types. One features Tanjiro and Nezuko, the other Inousuke and Zenitsu. Both versions also include the Puccho candy mascot, Puccho-kun, in the top corners dressed adorably like the main characters appearing below on the front of the packages.

Since May 25th, however, the Demon Slayer Puccho can be found in supermarkets, drug stores, and convenience stores nationwide. Fans of the series can now slay their Kimetsu no Yaiba craving by picking up these candies and collecting the awesome stickers inside!

About Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kimetsu no Yaiba, or Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba in English, is a manga written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotōge, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2016. The sword fighting, monster-slaying epic follows the somewhat tragic tale of Tanjirō as he struggles to save his sister who has been turned into a demon. The first season of the anime, Demon Slayer: Kimestu no Yaiba, was released in September 2019, with a film sequel, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train, set to hit theaters on October 16th 2020. The anime has enjoyed popularity more ferocious than the many demons that populate its fantasy world.
