Chainsaw Man Anime: Should I Read the Manga After the Show?

The anime adaptation of the popular manga chainsaw man ended its first season this week. And while the show takes its time adapting the manga of the same name, fans of the anime may be wondering how to figure out what happens next.

The season ended on relatively optimistic note – Denji battled the Katana Man and the rest of the Public Safety team seems to have gotten closer to their goal of tracking down the infamous Gun Devil. But there are still many unanswered questions. At the end of the season, we get a glimpse of a dark-haired young woman while a voice speaks of a field mouse. Who is she and what does that have to do with mice? Anime viewers will have to wait and see.

Unfortunately, there is no telling when a second season of chainsaw man will come by. Fortunately, in the world of anime, fans can almost always turn to manga.

Should I read the Chainsaw Man manga after finishing the series?

There are a few reasons to read the manga even if you enjoyed the series. The most obvious is that it lets you read ahead of time where the show just ended. So if you want to see what happens next, you can pick up right where the first season left off – in the manga, that moment is chapter 38. Although chainsaw man isn’t a finished manga series, for now, you don’t have to worry about running out of story: just released chapter 115 of chainsaw man this week.

If you’re worried about the anime being “spoiled” by the manga (even though the manga is the source material) or worried about experiencing the story twice, give it a try anyway. You might find some unexpected insights and joy!

Tatsuki Fujimoto has established himself as one of today’s preeminent mangaka. Seeing his vision through his own art will be a new experience for fans who have started with the anime. While I appreciated the calmness of Studio Mappa’s approach to the story, the manga maintains a darkness and menace that isn’t captured in the television series.

When will Chainsaw Man season 2 be released?

Another reason you might want to read the manga is that it might be a while before we get Season 2. Studio Mappa has not officially announced the timing of Season 2 but based on the company’s other projects such as: attack on Titan
