The anime promoted the manga. That's exactly the point. And it completely invalidates the idea that Demon Slayer was inherently strong or popular on its own before the anime. Picrel proves that for over 3 years (Volumes 1-15), the manga was selling like a mid-tier Jumpshit manga hovering in the 20k to 150k range after multiple weeks, per volume. That's nowhere near breakout hit territory in Japan. Then the anime came and BOOM:
>Volume 16 explodes to nearly 2 million cumulative in a few weeks
>Volume 17 sells 530k in one week
Also, the editor-in-chief of Weekly Shounen Jump's words invalidates everything you say, no matter your cope.
>Regarding the series' sudden huge success, Weekly Shōnen Jump editor-in-chief Hiroyuki Nakano stated that the manga sales shot up straight after its anime adaptation finished, explaining that a large number of people watched the series through streaming services after it ended rather than watching it weekly. Nakano also stated that currently is harder for a manga series running in the magazine to become a hit, and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba despite having started in February 2016, did not became a major hit until late 2019, adding that its "success hinged on word of mouth generated after the anime's run".

I don't care about your fictional samefag "alliances" you Spic
JJK never needed KnY's help to smash, it was already a hit from day 1
KnY needed shit tons of help though, and even with Togashi and Akimoto shilling it, it wasn't enough to sell. It was stuck in the 150k limbo for years. Volume 1 sold 13k in its first week and didn’t hit 300k until 3 years later after the anime when the manga was at the end of its lifetime
JJK has a good manga with a good anime that further boosted its sales, KnY was a bad manga with a good anime that gave it steroids and had shit tons of help (Aniplex, Sony Music, veteran mangaka + Nasu shill, Covid)
One is a natural hit the other is an industry plant

Nope. Just plain wrong. The actual Oricon data (which I showed your little cuck ass earlier) shows that pre-anime DS wasn't even breaking 100k per volume UNTIL multiple weeks post-release, and even that was spotty. Here's the reality
>vol 1-4: under 50k LTD in their first month
>vol 5: took multiple weeks to break ~65k
>volume 7-9: only began approaching ~100k per volume
>volume 10 and up: sales began climbing slightly
>post-episode 19 (ufotable glow-up): sales skyrocketed
The only time DS ever got near 150k/month across volumes was after the anime aired, specifically following the viral explosion that was episode 19, not before it. So your '150k/month per volume pre-anime' claim is either a lie or cope. You're cherry-picking aggregated totals after reprints as if that somehow proves pre-anime popularity, which is like saying 'the Beatles were always massive, just look at the album sales post-Ed Sullivan.'
Know your place, cuck.
