The first promotional video (PV) for Chainsaw Man has been revealed during the MAPPA Stage 10th anniversary event on Sunday, including a list of the production staff.
The Chainsaw Man panel at the event featured Manabu Otsuki (MAPPA CEO) and Shihei Hayashi (Shōnen Jump editor-in-chief). A Q&A session with the mangaka, Tatsuki Fujimoto, was also presented. It was announced that a new one-shot by Fujimoto will be published on the Shōnen Jump+ App on July 19th.

"Denji's a poor young man who'll do anything for money, even hunting down devils with his pet devil-dog Pochita. He's a simple man with simple dreams, drowning under a mountain of debt. But his sad life gets turned upside down one day when he's betrayed by someone he trusts. Now with the power of a devil inside him, Denji's become a whole new man—Chainsaw Man!"
