If you are not familiar with Chainsaw Man, the gritty series is one of manga’s most popular these days. Tatsuki Fujimoto kickstarted the manga after finishing their run on Fire Punch, and Chainsaw Man has gone on to dominate book sales across the globe. The manga completed its first act in December 2020 and has been on break since. Fujimoto says he will continue Chainsaw Man this year by kicking off act two, but no formal release date has been shared yet.
