PETALING JAYA: National shooter Gan Chen Jie (pic) is gearing up for her maiden Asian Games campaign and drawing inspiration from an unlikely source – the hit anime series “Demon Slayer”.

“I enjoy watching anime, and spending my free time with my family. Calming and relaxing music helps me a lot, especially when I’m travelling or preparing for competition,” said Chen Jie.
