<div dir="ltr">As to the rating for DemonSlayer, firstly you need to take into account the cultural differences. The kind of violence presented is not as shocking to Japanese parents/children. However, it is something we rarely see in Children's and Middle School graphics. Take a look at this article: <a href="https://www.staradvertiser.com/2021/05/06/news/demon-slayer-violence-draws-distinct-responses-in-u-s-japan/">https://www.staradvertiser.com/2021/05/06/news/demon-slayer-violence-draws-distinct-responses-in-u-s-japan/</a> That may help you to decide, even though it is talking about the video. <div><br></div><div>Younger-level manga is VERY difficult to vet. I feel your pain. No Flying, No Tights, Common Sense Media, and SLJ's site (<a href="https://blogs.slj.com/goodcomicsforkids/">https://blogs.slj.com/goodcomicsforkids/</a>) are great places to go to find ideas on age-appropriate materials. Here is something you might want to check out from Library Thing <a href="https://www.librarything.com/topic/21292">https://www.librarything.com/topic/21292</a> It is an older thread but has some good points.</div><div><br></div><div>Anime/Manga I have found for younger readers: </div><div>Most of the Studio Ghibli stuff is great. Splatoon is fun! Naruto is mostly great. Dragon Ball Z is not--nudity, adult jokes, some adult language. My Neighbor Seki is great. (SLJ Article: <a href="https://blogs.slj.com/goodcomicsforkids/2015/01/30/review-my-neighbor-seki/">https://blogs.slj.com/goodcomicsforkids/2015/01/30/review-my-neighbor-seki/</a>) Little Witch Academia is cute and fun!</div><div><br></div><div>Good luck!

Two that they are asking about are DemonSlayer and Hunter x Hunter.

I've spent the past couple of weekends acquiring some other manga/anime series and vetting them myself, but there is only so much time in the day -- and I have a lot of other stuff to read.
