Announced to be released in October 2022, the highly anticipated anime Chainsaw Man will be coming to Netflix, but only in a few regions in Asian territories. The series has been exclusively licensed to Netflix rivals in other regions.

Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man began its serialization in Weekly Shōnen Jump on December 3rd, 2018, and was an instant smash hit. In just under four years, the manga has sold over 15 million copies worldwide and is highly regarded as one of the best and freshest takes on the Shonen genre.

Studio MAPPA, the animation studio behind Jujutsu Kaisen, Kakegurui, and Attack on Titan, is producing the anime adaptation.

Denji is a teenage boy living with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. Due to the debt his father left behind, he has been living a rock-bottom life while repaying his debt by harvesting devil corpses with Pochita. One day, Denji is betrayed and killed. As his consciousness fades, he contracts with Pochita and gets revived as “Chainsaw Man”  a man with a devil’s heart.
