The story of Chainsaw Man follows a young man named Denji, who lives together with a creature known as a Chainsaw Devil. The creature, a devil named Pochita, helps Denji harvest devil corpses which he does in order to repay the huge debt left behind by his father. However, one day, Denji is betrayed by those he once trusted and killed. He forms a contract with little Pochita as he is dying, which results in his revival as Chainsaw Man, with the heart of a devil. The manga has run for 10 volumes thus far, with the 11th set to release on June 7. Viz Media publishes the manga in English.
While Crunchyroll announced that the platform will be streaming Chainsaw Man when it is released later in 2022, the exact air date of the highly anticipated anime title is still yet to be confirmed. However, this latest announcement should assure fans that the Chainsaw Man project is still on track, and will be available to view later this year as initially announced.
