Manga: Sousei no Onmyouji
Both are action shounen manga that involves demons and humans. Human can turn into demons by being "infected". Both have MCs that join an organization to fight these demons. Both have a female ally to the MC. There's also a ranking system in both human and demon power levels. The time period is probably the only big difference.

Manga: Black Clover
If you like shounens, you should read both. When I read Kimetsu no Yaiba, it reminded me of Black Clover because they give off the same kind of feel. The main characters are pretty similar (kind, strong, determination, protective, empathetic, etc.) Both Asta (Black Clover) and Tanjirou (Kimetsu no Yaiba) are skilled when it comes to swords and will do their best to protect those they care about. They don't have a similar story/setting but I think the characters are similar in a way. I think that if you've read one you would definitely like the other.

Manga: Kagurabachi
Main characters in both of these two stories are male teenagers who want to, among others things, avenge their fallen relatives and get revenge. To achieve that, they become swordsmen fighting with katana and using special powers to fight their enemies (in Kimetsu no Yaiba's case those powers are tied with Breathing techniques, while in Kagurabachi's case - with blades enchanted with magic). Both manga series feature blood and gore during the action scenes.

Manga: Kami no Kora no Regret
Both are about a kind hearted boy joining an organisation to try to save their sister from a supernatural condition that might turn them violent. Both organisations are convinced that there is no cure, but both protagonists are convinced otherwise

Manga: Naruto
From the moment I started reading this manga, it gave me a very strong Naruto-like feeling. First of all, both are shounen, featuring MC with a tragic background and wearing a visible proof of it. Secondly, both of them have an energic, kind, and determined MC with a strong dream. As the story unwinds further, more characters are introduced and "nakama-power" (or power of friendship) helps to win many battles. However, going further in the story shows that Kimetsu no Yaiba is a perfect story on its own and by no means should be taken purely as a copy of Naruto.

While different in the main genres (fantasy/sport), both have similar character archetypes, especially the protagonist - hot-blooded, loud a bit dumb but good hearted, similar character interaction and mixing of serious action and slapstick comedy.

Manga: Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas - Meiou Shinwa
Both manga have a main character who has a relative that fell into evil (though both approaches are different) and the plot deals with them trying to save that sibling figure from their darkness accompanied by two friends he meets during his journey. As the series goes on, the focus starts to be given to the elite members of the main benevolent organizations of the setting, with them receiving spotlight and being fleshed out through the many arcs of the manga.

Manga: Donten ni Warau
I read Donten ni Warau when I was waiting for next chapters of Kimetsu no Yaiba. It had the same timeline and it had demons in the story as well. so there were times I got mixed up on the plot. This was a good read- This would be the closest to Kimetsu no Yaiba compared to the other recommendations here.
