If you’re all caught up on the Chainsaw Man manga this news will be especially welcomed. Summer of 2023 will see the release of a spin-off light novel called Chainsaw Man: Buddy Stories.
The Chainsaw Man: Buddy Stories light novel will be based on an original concept by Chainsaw Man mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto but will be written by Sakaku Hishikawa. Tatsuki Fujimoto will most certainly be doing the art for whatever book scenes get single-page illustrations. The only hint we get about the content is the announcement tweet says it “delivers four new stories featuring iconic characters from the manga! and the cover image shown is of Denji and Power being goofy. It is unknown when this will take place in the manga.
You can see that cover image and announcement tweet below.
For those still unsure about what Chainsaw Man manga is all about, Viz Media summarizes the story as:
Seeing as we will absolutely be picking this up, we will let you know when we know more about the light novel.
