The ongoing Demon Slayer series has subdued the entire world, with numerous demons, hashiras, epic battles, and various characters. While the anime is currently in The Swordsmith Village arc, the manga ended on May 18, 2023, after 205 chapters, and fans are still debating the fate of its characters.
Nezuko, one of the main characters in the Demon Slayer series, is also related to this as she battles Hantengu in all of his guises alongside Tanjiro and other demon slayers in the Swordsmith Village arc.
However, because the fight against Hantengu is proving difficult, and there are still three upper moon demons and the demon king Muzan himself alive, those who haven't finished the manga are wondering if Nezuko dies by the end of it. But, will she?

What happens to Nezuko near the Demon Slayer manga's conclusion
Nezuko Kamodo is one of the main characters and deuteragonist of the Demon Slayer series. She, along with Tanjiro, are the only surviving members of her family and was transformed into a demon by Muzan. Nezuko, like other demons, is a powerful one with unique Blood Demon Arts, but despite this, she is not like other demons and has incredible control over her hunger for human flesh.
Not only that, she was also able to resist Muzan's control over her, and with the release of The Swordsmith Village arc, Nezuko will play a larger role in the series as she will be able to conquer the sunlight at the end of this arc, which even Muzan was unable to do. However, unlike many other characters, Nezuko will not die at the end of the series, but will revert to her human form during the Final Battle arc.
It is well-known that Lady Tamayo promised Tanjiro in the first season's Asakusa arc that if he gave her access to his sister's blood as well as the blood of powerful demons like the Twelve Kizuki, she would be able to find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human once more. She eventually will succeed and will create a treatment for Nezuko.
During the Final Battle arc, Nezuko will change back into a human and this will be shown when Sakonji Urokodaki visits the Butterfly Estate and takes care of Nezuko. During that time, Urokodaki will say that he has Nezuko Tamayo's medication, which is supposed to restore her to human form, but is unsure whether it will have any effect.
It will be seen later that Nezuko slept for a while longer, but she will suddenly awaken, startling Urokodaki. Urokodaki will then inquire about her in order to gauge how worried she is, but will get no answer.
In addition to Urokodaki, Tengen Uzui and Rengoku will also be seen standing outside Nezuko's room to defend her from any threats. However, as soon as Nezuko awakes, she flees from the estate, while Urokodaki pursues her. Soon Nezuko will get away from Urokodaki as she will jump off a cliff, and Urokodaki will be startled to discover that Tamayo’s remedy to make her human again fails as Nezuko lands safely down and keeps running.
Later, Nezuko would be seen running towards where Muzan and the other demon slayers were fighting. But soon as Nezuko gets near the battle area, Muzan will become extremely concerned, as he will discover that one of her eyes has returned to normal. This proved that Tamayo's medicine did indeed work, but the reversion process was slow and lengthy. Nezuko would then make his way slowly towards the city, where the demon slayers had been fighting Muzan.
Nezuko will gradually recall Muzan's assault on the Kamado family. Additionally, she will be further flooded with memories as she would see glimpses of the people and events they encountered during their travels. As a result, Nezuko would be unable to continue to walk and would fall to the ground as new memories take over her mind.
She'd then reflect on her and Tanjiro's time together, their interactions with Tengen Uzui, and their visit to the Butterfly Estate. After regaining her balance, Nezuko would stand up and her hand would transform back into a human hand and she would grab her head and sob, as she transforms back into a human again by the end of Demon Slayer manga.
Final thoughts
By the end of the Demon Slayer manga, Nezuko would be reverted to being human, and she would even assist Tanjiro in fighting against Muzan from within him, enabling him to return to his human form again and completely defeating Muzan. Additionally, Nezuko lived after Muzan's passing, and eventually married Zenitsu and had a family with him.
