What Is Chainsaw Man Part 2 About?
For any newcomers, Chainsaw Man is a gritty shounen manga written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto.
In the odd alternate world of Chainsaw Man, certain historical events have not happened while Devils born of human fears roam the world.
Denji is a Devil Hunter. Accompanied by his Devil pet, Pochita, he captures malevolent demons and employs them in contracts with humans in an attempt to pay off the debt his father left him with.
When a failed mission ends Denji's life, Pochita saves him by merging with him.
Now a Chainsaw Devil Hybrid, Denji is capable of transforming parts of his body into chainsaws but tries to lead a normal life this time around!
After the Control Devil fiasco that changed Denji's life forever, Chainsaw Man Part 2 introduces Asa Mitaka, an exciting new protagonist.
Asa is an unpopular loner whose bad luck makes her the host of the War Devil, who only cares about eliminating her nemesis, Chainsaw Man.

Chainsaw Man Part 2 Release Date
In June 2022, manga series editor Shihei Lin confirmed through an X (then Twitter) post that Chainsaw Man Part 2 would begin serialization on the 13th of July 2022, as it happened.
In Shonen Jump Festa 2022, creator Tatsuki Fujimoto, who appeared interviewing an animated Pochita, had already confirmed that Chainsaw Man Part 2 will come out in the summer of 2022.
After a long hiatus, the wait was finally over for fans, close to the time the Chainsaw Man anime also aired.
The first part of Chainsaw Man has 11 volumes, spanning over 97 chapters.
You can read Chainsaw Man legally online on Shonen Jump's Viz, and we expect this to remain the case for Part 2 chapters as they come out.
Summer and Fall 2022 was an exciting time for those who fell in love with Chainsaw Man's dark humor, great characters, and occasional gory aesthetics.
Not only did the manga return for a new arc after its long hiatus, but the story also received an anime adaptation by studio MAPPA.
The latest manga chapters have yet to be adapted, but Chainsaw Man Part 2 is well worth it, so don't hesitate to read it before it gets an anime.
