In an alternate version of our Earth, creatures called Devils are born from the fears of human beings. Dangerous beings that come from Hell, their powers grow based on the strength of the fear, and 13 years ago, the Gun Devil caused the biggest massacre in human history. Now, in 1997, a young man named Denji works as a Devil Hunter for the yakuza, aided by his dog-like Chainsaw Devil, Pochita, to attempt to pay off his father’s debt to them. When they betray and kill him, Pochita offers to make a contract with him and revive him, under the pretense that he shows Pochita his dreams. When he agrees, they merge into a Human-Devil hybrid, and become Chainsaw Man! The award winning, ultra-violent manga Chainsaw Man is now an exciting new anime by MAPPA, and it’s coming to your screen soon!
Chainsaw Man is written by Tatsuki Fujimoto, who was a previous nominee for the prestigious Manga Taisho, an award for manga less than eight volumes in length, for his work Fire Punch. Published in Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ magazine, Chainsaw Man debuted in December of 2018, becoming a runaway success and winning the Shogakukan Manga Award for Shonen, and the Harvey Award for Best Manga.
