 Tatsuki Fujimoto's horror action manga Chainsaw Man ended with its 97th chapter in the second 2021 issue of Weekly Shounen Jump on Monday. The issue also revealed that a second part will run in Shounen Jump+ web magazine.A television anime adaptation of the manga was also announced in the issue. Shueisha simultaneously opened an official website, revealing a teaser visual (pictured). The anime series will be produced by animation studio MAPPA (Dorohedoro, Jujutsu Kaisen). Synopsis Denji has a simple dream—to live a happy and peaceful life, spending time with a girl he likes. This is a far cry from reality, however, as Denji is forced by the yakuza into killing devils in order to pay off his crushing debts. Using his pet devil Pochita as a weapon, he is ready to do anything for a bit of cash. Unfortunately, he has outlived his usefulness and is murdered by a devil in contract with the yakuza. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Pochita merges with Denji's dead body and grants him the powers of a chainsaw devil. Now able to transform parts of his body into chainsaws, a revived Denji uses his new abilities to quickly and brutally dispatch his enemies. Catching the eye of the official devil hunters who arrive at the scene, he is offered work at the Public Safety Bureau as one of them. Now with the means to face even the toughest of enemies, Denji will stop at nothing to achieve his simple teenage dreams. [Written by MAL Rewrite] Fujimoto launched Chainsaw Man in Weekly Shounen Jump in December 2018, following the conclusion of his Fire Punch manga in Shounen Jump+ in January that year. Shueisha published the ninth volume on November 4, with the tenth volume scheduled for a January 4, 2021 release. Chainsaw Man has a cumulative 5 million copies of its volumes in print. VIZ Media published the first three chapters in English simultaneously with the Japanese release as a part of its Jump Start initiative and subsequently serialized it in their digital Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. The company now simulpublishes the manga on its new Shounen Jump platform and shipped the second volume on December 1. Shueisha's Manga Plus service also began simulpublishing the manga in English last January. Chainsaw Man won fourth and first place in the 2020 and 2021 Kono Manga ga Sugoi! rankings in the male readers' division, respectively. The manga also placed second in both the 15th edition of Recommended Comics Selected by Japanese Bookstore Employees and the fifth Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Taisho's print category. The 13th Manga Taisho and 66th Shogakukan Manga Awards nominated the manga in March and November this year.

| It's FUCKING HERE! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. mappa keep taking shows. can see it adapted by dorohedoro staff. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| i heard good things about the manga might as well check the PV first though |
| Chainsawman is just amazing.. Definitely a must-watch! Though i'm curious if they're going to implement CG in this or not. Either way, very stoked! |
| it had to be CGI or otherwise, it really need to be overly simplified to even get animated. there are no other way. |
"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| The key visual looks good, I hope they can make it as gory as it is in the manga. |

cigare said: dorohedoro wasn't bad.Kuma said: There is always a way, but if they're going with full CGI, positively at least has commendable direction.it had to be CGI or otherwise, it really need to be overly simplified to even get animated. there are no other way. |
"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| MAPPA proved itself with with Dorohedoro to be worthy of adapting this. Hype is real! Can't wait! |
 |
| Hoping for a full manga adaptation and I think it will be one. |
 |
| Good luck, MAPPA. If Dorohedoro's team will be on this, I'm sure many of us will be able to rest assured then. |

| Very nice great series looking forward to the sequel. Anime probably skipping. |
 |
| I'm honestly glad that I'm not the only one seeing Chainsaw Man in CGI. |
cigare said: then what you would've wanted?Kuma said: Indeed it wasn't but not quite what I would've wanted. Nevertheless, no choice we have but the PV seeing.dorohedoro wasn't bad. |
"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Maaan, let’s fucking go. |
| "I only studied a little bit of history and I have learned there are two current thoughts in human history. The opinion that there are things worth more than human life and the opinion that there is nothing preferable to life. When the war begins, it is on the pretext of the former type of people and it justify the latter when the war ends" |
| Im so excited for this one! Chainsaw! Chainsaw! Chainsaw! Chainsaw! Chainsaw! Long live chansawman! |
 |
| Nice! I’m going to read the rest of the manga later today, this is great news! I can’t wait for this anime! Should be good if the right staff works on it. |
| Pandora Hearts is the best manga ever made and deserves an anime reboot |
| I have a friend who's super into this manga and just told him the news. Now to wait and see if he already knew or will freak out later lol |
 |
| LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! |
| What's all with the hype? I'll just wait and see then. |
  |
| Now it will be the time for chainsaw man to be officially added to the databsse mods. |
 Scordolo's Recent Reviews To your eternity Vanitas no Karte |
| So the second part is really going to have a different name and manga vol. count, shueisha also tagged csm manga as a completed title it seems. |
| I heard so many good things about this manga Looking forward to it |
 |
| cool and good. Hopefully, Mappa puts this on their highest priority. |
| I new it would be mappa. They're going to end up having their animators drop dead. |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| Intentionally been striving of the manga. Heard many wonderful things about it from many many folks. MAPPA should do it justice having succeeded with a similar type manga in Dorohedoro |
 |
| At this point let's just have MAPPA animate everything lol. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Dude, I hope Mappa animators are getting paid well because god damn, they haven´t stopped since GoH and Dorohedoro lol. I haven´t read the series but people keep talking about it, so as long as it´s not CGI then let´s see how it goes. |
| As One Big Smoke said: "Slow the fuck down" |
| MAPPA staff must be getting ridiculously overworked, damn. I'm sure they'll do justice to the manga with this one too. |
I can't wait for this notification. Also waiting for vol.2 and vol.3 physical release. |
| Saying that I'm hyped for this is an understatement! We fans are being well-fed with Chainsaw Man and I couldn't be happier! Definitely one of the most random mangas I picked up this year, but thank god I did! |
｢ Између људи и нељуди. ｣ 𝟏𝟏𝟏 |
| Can we say that MAPPA is the new-age classic Madhouse? Seriously, hit after hit with high-profile names (save for some lowkey ones), and the hype train isn't slowing down! Manga fans must be frothing at their mouths now waiting for this official announcement for months. Nevertheless, anticipation is VERY HIGH. |
 |
| Poor anime onlines are gonna get spoilered into oblivion. |
 |
| I saw this title trending last night on JP.. i see now.. MAPPA's at it again.. lol |
| A certain person lurking here |
| Hope don't see any CGI. any news when The Second part Of manga Will began? |
The battle is over.  Show respect for the fallen who fought so bravely. |

That has been the case since Masao Maruyama left MADHOUSE and founded MAPPA in 2011. Though MAPPA is certainly being its strongest right now. Maruyama later left mappa and founded studio M2 |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| *Standing here, still repeating myself as I hoping like an idiot that Toshiki Masuda will voice Denji and Miyuki Sawashiro will voice Makima* :runs_away: |

BananaWamen said: well i sure wonder wht itll look like is MAPPA starts working on helck to be animated.MAPPA must be suffocatin' in fame and pressure right now. They be pickin' on the right mangas. Now only if Jigokuraku gets animated too I'll probably rest in peace. |
