Chainsaw Man Creator Announces New Manga One-Shot

By Megan Peters

Tatsuki Fujimoto is one of the best manga artists of his generation. Chainsaw Man might have launched the creator into the spotlight, but over the past couple of years, Fujimoto has shined brightest thanks to their one-shots. Now, a new report has confirmed another one of his stories is on the way, and readers won't want to miss it!

After teasing fans about an update, editor Shihei Lin confirmed Fujimoto is working on a new one-shot these days. The artist has partnered with Toda Oto on a new story, and it will be released on July 4th. The one-shot will be titled Listen to Futu and seems to be unrelated to any of the side stories Fujimoto has penned in the past.

As you can imagine, fans are eager to read this new one-shot, and that is hardly surprising given Fujimoto's track record. The artist got their start in manga by penning one-shots as far back as 2011. Two of his most recent one-shots have earned critical acclaim from readers the world over as well. Look Back and Goodbye, Eri are some of the most innovative stories to ever grace Shonen Jump+. And soon, Listen to Futu will join their ranks.

Of course, fans are also eager for Fujimoto to give them an update on Chainsaw Man. The manga closed its first part in 2020, and the artist confirmed a second part was in the works. Right now, Chainsaw Man's anime is likely keeping Fujimoto on their toes as MAPPA will release the much-anticipated show this fall. But once season one runs its course, Fujimoto might have some updates to give on its manga comeback.
