‘Chainsaw Man’ Manga To Launch Second Installment Next Month
Chainsaw Man will receive its second installment on the Shonen Jump+ app and website next month. Due for its relaunch on July 13, the manga was previously serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from December 2018 up until late 2020, releasing 11 volumes.
Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man follows the story of an impoverished man named Denji. After gaining the ability to turn parts of his body into chainsaws, he begins working as a Devil Hunter, fighting off those who threaten human safety.
The first part of the manga was called the "Kōan" (Public Safety), whereas this upcoming section will feature the "Gakkō-hen" (School Arc). It’s presumed that the second part of the manga will mark a new chapter, beginning with volume 1.
In addition to new volumes of Chainsaw Man, the Tokyo-based studio MAPPA will be adapting the manga into an animated television series. Ryū Nakayama will direct with Hiroshi Seko writing scripts. A release date for the show, which will be available to stream on Crunchyroll, has yet to be announced.
