Absolute clown.
The polish translation of Chainsaw Man came out and rereading the early volumes really made me realize what a loving left turn this series took after the Gun Devil actually showed up

if anyone is doing a reread, the coloured version looks really nice. I believe it's the SHUEISHA jp coloring with official english translations edited in fans.

So, there's a Tatsuki Fujimoto art exhibit in France right now.

Some really interesting stuff, like an early sketch for the first chapter of Chainsaw Man showing Makima holding a katana to Denji's neck instead of hugging him when they first meet. Really would have given a different vibe to their already hosed up relationship.

We also got some heights for Makima and Aki. Turns out they're both pretty drat tall. Aki's nearly 6'3'', and Makima's 5'8''. Just about what I expected from the final series, but it's nice to know I was on the right track.

Soo the anime is supposed to come out in a few weeks, right? After AoT ends I think I heard?

This year, but we don't have a date. The manga resumes this summer, though.

Chainsaw man ended with the reveal that it's the end of "part 1". Think of it like jojo's parts. Part 2 of the manga is supposed to start this summer.

Extremely disappointing that the part 1 thing wasn't the final joke. The perfect send off. An excellent jest at most other series expense.

Yeah, I consider Part 1 a complete story. Part 2 is more like a sequel than another arc

And wow, don’t know where I heard that the anime was starting soon… makes sense since there’s been no buzz about it

Oh that's cool I guess, hopefully it doesn't suffer a drop in quality. Must've missed the "part 1" bit when I blitzed through the series

It only got mentioned on the last page anyway. I can see missing it.

It was kind of amazing as a reveal when it happened. Especially after the absurdity of hearing that chapter 97 would be the end when 95 had just came out. That chapter ending didn't suggest many routes to the finish line, but then 96 was released, and everything suddenly made sense... before the actual final chapter ended with a "By the way, there's going to be more".

So, I work at a Barnes & Noble, and Chainsaw Man volume 1 has sold more copies in out store over a 26 week period than any other book. The only other book that’s close to the amount of sales is It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover, who’s one of the best selling authors in YA and Romance

Delightfully meta, rather than pretentiously meta. I'm still not entirely sure about whether the ending was just another film or an imagine spot or what.

Also lol at the last page, even expecting it , it still gave me a smile.
