The continuation of Chainsaw Man was a curious operation, rare of its kind, but with high expectations from the fans. Fujimoto wanted to create a work that was not too long, contrary to the editorial trend of the host magazine, Weekly Shonen Jump. The manga’s exceptional reception and the hype created with the imminent arrival of the anime prompted the sensei to continue Chainsaw after the finale.
