According to the writer's blog there will be two books.A third KnY Light Novel has been announced for a June release:

It appears it will re-adapt the story with the author as supervisor, so there may be several of these in the future. He/she will also make several illustrations for it.
I mean, lifetime sales is arguably the most significant metric, and KnY is never going to come anywhere close to beating it.
Just because I am being meta about this doesn't mean I am not with you, brother (just check my signature).
Doesn't this put a stop to all those rumors about Gotouge's family issues? He/she is clearly still going to be heavily involved with a lot of things around this series.A third KnY Light Novel has been announced for a June release:

True but Kimetsu beating OP for most, if not all, of the other records related to sales is still massively monumental.
If this issue confirms that there will be gaidens by fall, it will totally debunk it.
LoL, I didn't catch that honestly. My bad.
It could've. But it most likely wouldn't have at the beginning. There were a lot of things that went right for it. The stars just happened to align so perfectly it's like seeing Halley's comet. The art is admittedly not quite to everyone's tastes, that was a major part of the reason people were reticent towards it at first, and even KnY fans can't deny that. The anime improved the viewing by a 1000x, and with the incredibly solid production, it went viral, and thus you have one of the craziest sagas in Jump's history.
Please don't forget that the series caught on because it's story, battles and characters were compelling. Episode 19, which was what went super viral I believe, was amazing because the fights, character interaction leading up to it gave it the right weight. Had it been a poorly done story or a boring fight, it wouldn't have gotten any popularity at all.
This will be a respectable hit at best, and at worst, a mangled, convoluted mess if the writer is not careful. He's gonna have to make sure he lays down the rules as clearly as possible, and go from there.
I know that this week will be like 90% Demon Slayer but I'm so hyped to this man. I hope that this dude go nuts. If I finished the First chapter have no fucking clue of what is happening, then he did his job right. Hahaha
If that were the only important thing, the news isn't highlighting the records that Demon Slayers is breaking every week.
Downloaded the app just to do the survey. Would be great if they got more series on board.
I wasn't saying it was the only important thing, just arguably the most.
That's a pretty bold statement, no other mangas than One Piece ever was able to sell as much after a long run. It's arguably the best written manga of all time. Even Naruto and Dragon Ball sales were starting to go way down at the end. Look at Detective Conan right now... Once was one of the biggest thing in the world and still is (overall sales), but in the past couple years D.C. sales have been pretty bad, because people are getting bored with due to it getting too long, people somehow don't get bored of One Piece.
Why is that everybody is sure(100%)that demon slayer will reach 100 milion life time sales?
I understand your point, but I answer it is because it really is the only argument that some One Piece fans grab - since it is the only record that Demon Dlayer has failed to beat, and never will. But DS reminds me a lot of FMA. You don't need to have more millions than other manga for your work to be the best one. Be considered a cultural thing because it marked an era. A clear example is the FMA anime. Over the years I have systematically seen fans choose FMA as the best anime ever. Obviously it is somewhat subjective, but in general you see that the majority choose the same anime, that means that said mangaka and studios are completely calm. Because they have accomplished a job that few have.
Very easy to answer that question. Because apart from the fact that a movie will be released that will boost sales, there are still 3 more volumes to come out. And probably early next year (2021) DS will reach that number. And to all this add that obviously Ufotable will not release its gold mine and continue with the anime, which in turn will further increase its sales of the manga.
