These situations are nowhere near comparable for a variety of reasons.

1) Whether people want to acknowledge it or not, the quality of the "Promised Neverland" manga started going downhill post-Goldy Pond. While it obviously never hit the lows attained by the atrocious season two, the manga sales of Promised Neverland declined as the content grew worse. While I personally don't even like Demon Slayer, I can't say there is a similar decline in quality. The author's vision of the story feels complete and well-realized. Even if people can argue against how certain aspects of Demon Slayer's ending worked, it at least DID have an ending with real consequences and real payoff.

2) Demon Slayer is way more popular than Promised Neverland was; even at the peak of Promised Neverland's popularity. DS is a juggernaut that's in a league completely separate from other hits like Promised Neverland.

3) Demon Slayer has way more mainstream appeal; it's a battle shonen with Japanese flavor in a historical setting; it's grim, has goofy anime characters and colorful battles. Couple that with the beautiful animation and it's a series with a wider strike zone in regards to which demographics it will hit.

Sadly, the truth is that Demon Slayer will get a full adaption because it's more popular than Promised Neverland ever was, has more mainstream appeal, and doesn't have source material that declines sharply in quality.

These situations are nowhere near comparable for a variety of reasons.

Did PN have a movie that earned almost half a billion at the global box office?

The right poster is a bit of spoiler with what she can do...
