Where Does the Chainsaw Man Anime End in the Manga?
Can't wait for the Reze Movie or Season 2? Find out exactly which chapter of Tatsuki Fujimoto's masterpiece continues Denji's story.
Beyond the Katana Man Arc
Season 1 of Chainsaw Man by Studio MAPPA was a cinematic experience that covered the introduction and the Katana Man arcs. If you finished the 12th episode and want to see what happens next with Denji and the Public Safety squad, you should start the manga at Chapter 38.
This is found in the middle of Volume 5.

Why You Must Read Fujimoto’s Work
Tatsuki Fujimoto is not a traditional mangaka. His paneling feels like a movie storyboard—long silences, sudden bursts of violence, and bizarre humor. While the anime did an amazing job capturing this "movie-like" feel, the manga has a raw, chaotic energy that is unique.
By starting at Chapter 38, you will head straight into the "Bomb Girl Arc" (the focus of the upcoming movie) and then into the "International Assassins Arc," which features some of the most creative and terrifying devil designs in the entire series.
