The popular “Chainsaw Man” series is making a comeback as a full-length film, and it has officially been set for release. This animated adaptation is based on the manga series by Tatsuki Fujimoto with the same title. The story centers around Denji, a young man struggling financially who gets betrayed and killed. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he is reborn as a hybrid of human and devil. In response to this transformation, Denji decides to embark on a quest to eliminate devils.
