| Summary: Chainsaw Man (Japanese:, Hepburn: Chens Man) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto. It was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shnen Jump magazine from December 2018 to December 2020, with chapters collected in eleven tankbon volumes. The second installment has been announced and will be serialized in Shueisha's Shnen Jump+ online magazine. Devils are born from human fears in the world of Chainsaw Man. Devils are typically dangerous and malevolent, and their power is proportional to the degree to which their corresponding fear is instilled in the collective human consciousness. Humans, on the other hand, can form contracts with them in order to use their powers. Devil hunters are people who specialize in hunting and employing devils. Devils are born in Hell and have an endless life cycle between the two worlds: they are reborn on Earth when killed in Hell, and vice versa. In Hell, there are extremely powerful Devils known as Primal Fears who have never been killed. The Hell Devil appears to be in charge of the transit between the two planes. |
