Chainsaw Man manga receives a prestigious award, and its author responds with a different take on it.
Chainsaw Man focuses on Denji and his many misadventures. After encountering Makima, he becomes a Devil Hunter because the red-haired female hopes to use his abilities to accomplish her goals. Makima wants to turn Denji into her pet dog, but the Chainsaw Devil is unruly and submits to no one!
Studio MAPPA dedicated a whole lot of time, energy, and resources to ensure that the anime adaptation (scheduled for release on October 11th this year) became a smash hit.
Even though it’ll compete against major releases like Bleach Thousand Year Blood War, Urusei Yatsura, and dozens of others, there is no doubt that Chainsaw Man shall be a resounding success in the anime industry. The team behind the promotions has also stepped up its game.

Tatsuki Fujimoto said in response to the award being conferred on Chainsaw Man.
“If Chainsaw Man receives this award too often, I’m afraid it’ll lower the prestige of the Harveys. But really I’m so happy. And now I want it to win a third time.”
Harvey Awards (named after cartoonist Harvey Kurtzman) succeeded Kirby Awards after the latter was discontinued prior to 1988. It is considered a profound honor if one is chosen as the recipient of any award at the Harveys.
