New Chainsaw Man Poster Puts Aki Center Stage

Chainsaw Man is now a few episodes into its anime adaptation's debut season, and some special new cover art is showing off a new look at Aki Hayakawa to help celebrate! Tatsuki Fujimoto's original manga series is one of the most popular manga out there today, and thus the hype for its anime seemed to be bigger than anything ever seen before. Fans could not wait to see how characters like Denji would translate to the screen, and the first episodes of the series have been impressing fans with the way the team behind the anime has been able to pull it off thus far.

Many fans have been especially impressed by Aki's role in it all. First introduced to the series as a more serious, stern wall for Denji and Power's antics to bounce off against, the episodes thus far have begun revealing more of his hidden layers more and more. This will continue through the series as he will likely go on to be a major fan favorite in the anime, and helping this along will be covered like the upcoming release of women's lifestyle magazine, anan. Showing off a cool new look at Aki, you can check out the cover below: 

Who is Aki in Chainsaw Man? 

Aki has been introduced to Denji (and fans) as the leading devil hunter of the Tokyo Special Division 4 group in the Public Safety commission that's full of experimental fighters like Chainsaw Man and the Blood Fiend, Power. Aki has his own ways of fighting against the devil's threats (that also harm him in the process), and he will continue to reveal more about his mysterious thoughts on life with the episodes that continue from here on out. So now is the time to tune in.

If you wanted to check out Chainsaw Man for yourself, you can now find the anime streaming with Crunchyroll. They tease the anime as such, "Denji is a teenage boy living with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. Due to the debt his father left behind, he has been living a rock-bottom life while repaying his debt by harvesting devil corpses with Pochita. One day, Denji is betrayed and killed. As his consciousness fades, he makes a contract with Pochita and gets revived as 'Chainsaw Man' — a man with a devil's heart."
