About Chainsaw Man
Chainsaw Man is based on the manga of the same name by Tatsuki Fujimoto. The manga was adapted into an anime series that began streaming in late 2022.
Chainsaw Man follows Denji, a poor boy who has to work for the yakuza to pay off his late father’s debt. After being betrayed by the yakuza and ordered to be killed, Denji formed a contract with the Chainsaw Devil, Pochita. Now with Pochita as his heart, Denji works as the “Chainsaw Man.”
Later, joining the Public Safety Devil Hunters, Denji works with the mysterious Makima, fiend Power, and stoic Aki to resolve devil-related incidents.
Until the film’s release, Chainsaw Man’s season one and the two compilation episodes are available to watch on Crunchyroll.
