Chainsaw Man is a manga series serialized in Shonen Jump, which follows the adventures of devil hunter Denji. As shown in the key illustration above, Denji is capable of turning into a chainsaw devil due to a contract he made with his pet devil Pochita. Animating the anime is studio MAPPA, which previously worked on the Attack on Titan series as well as Jujutsu Kaisen.
Furthermore, a new trailer for the upcoming anime appeared last month. The teaser trailer gave an extended look at how characters like Denji, Power, and Makima will appear on-screen.
