Chainsaw Man was one of the most anticipated Anime Expo panels this year, and fans were extra excited about the title premiering on Crunchyroll sometime in 2022.
First, we need to ask ourselves, “What is Chainsaw Man?” The title itself makes it sound like it is a gory show, and you would be right in your assumption!
Chainsaw Man tells the story of Denji, a poor young man who merges with a dog-like devil named Pochita after striking a pact with him, allowing him the power to change sections of his body into chainsaws.
Denji ultimately joins the Public Safety Devil Hunters, a government organisation dedicated to combating demons whenever they pose a threat to the globe.
The fact that he can change sections of his body into chainsaws already should tell you that it’s going to be gory and definitely not an anime for children.
The manga is also available on MANGA Plus, but you’ll have to download the app in order to read it for free. The upside is that it is available in multiple languages.
29-year-old Tatsuki Fujimoto (Fire Punch, Goodbye Eri) is the author and illustrator of Chainsaw Man. He stated that he was inspired by a variety of works.
