“Chainsaw Man” is based on the widely popular and award-winning manga of the same name written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto (“Fire Punch”) and serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump. The series follows Denji, a teenage boy living with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. Living at rock bottom thanks to the debt his father left behind, he’s forced to repay his debts by harvesting devil corpses with Pochita.
One day, Denji is betrayed and killed. As his consciousness fades, he makes a contract with Pochita and gets revived as “Chainsaw Man”– a man with a devil’s heart.
“Chainsaw Man” by Ryū Nakayama (“Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia”) from a screenplay by Hiroshi Seko (“Attack on Titan Final Season”). The series features character design by Kazutaka Sugiyama (“Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation”), devil design by Kiyotaka Oshiyama (“The Wind Rises”), art direction by Yusuke Takeda (“Vivy -Fluorite Eye’s Song-“), and music composed by Kensuke Ushio (“The Heike Story”).
