There is a great deal of anticipation for the anime adaptation of Chainsaw Man, one of the most eagerly anticipated adaptations in recent memory. The anime will be available on Netflix starting in October 2022, but only in a few countries outside of the USA. On December 3rd, 2018, Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man started serialising in Weekly Shnen Jump, and it was an instant success. The manga, which has sold more than 15 million copies worldwide in less than four years, is widely regarded as one of the best and most innovative approaches to the Shonen subgenre.
The anime adaptation is being made by Studio MAPPA, the animation company behind Jujutsu Kaisen, Kakegurui, and Attack on Titan. Teenage boy Denji lives with Pochita, a Chainsaw Devil. He has been living in squalor because of the debt his father left behind and paying it off by harvesting devil corpses with Pochita. One day, Denji is betrayed and killed. He enters into a deal with Pochita as his consciousness begins to fade and is revived as “Chainsaw Man,” a man with a devil’s heart.
