Chainsaw Man (チェンソーマン) is a dark action series written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto (藤本タツキ). The story follows Denji (デンジ), a young man living in poverty who merges with his pet devil Pochita (ポチタ) and becomes Chainsaw Man—a hybrid who can transform parts of his body into chainsaws. Recruited by Public Safety to hunt devils, Denji navigates a brutal world filled with violence, desire, and the thin line between humanity and monstrosity.
Serialized in 2018, Chainsaw Man quickly became a cultural sensation, with over 30 million copies in circulation. Its anime adaptation by MAPPA, which premiered in 2022, was praised for its cinematic direction and intense animation. Known for its unpredictable storytelling, emotional depth, and bold subversion of shonen tropes, Chainsaw Man stands as one of the most influential modern manga and anime series.
