Chainsaw Man began as a manga series by Tatsuki Fujimoto. Its first chapter was published in Weekly Shonen Jump in December 2018. The manga took a hiatus on December 2020 after the completion of the Public Safety Arc.
2022 welcomed the franchise with open arms as the manga returned on July 13, kicking off the School Arc. It even got an anime adaptation my MAPPA, which aired on October 11, running for twelve episodes and concluding the Katana Man story on December 28.
The anime aired on TV Tokyo and related networks, with Amazon Prime Video streaming in Japan. Crunchyroll streamed the anime worldwide, with English subtitles and dub.
A stage play for Chainsaw Man is definitely worth some curiosity. One has to wonder how they will present certain elements like the Eternity Devil and how Chainsaw Man would look like.
