Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man is all set to take the Super Stage Ex at the most anticipated anime convention of the year, Jump Festa 2022. While MAPPA had announced the anime adaptation of this manga months ago, no other information (apart from a single teaser) has been released. As such, fans are waiting eagerly for the information that will be revealed at Jump Festa 2022.
Chainsaw Man at Jump Festa 2022: Voice cast, release dates, and more
Information released so far
Part 1 of Chainsaw Man manga, the Public Safety Arc, was completed in December 2020. A second part was announced in the same month, and was later revealed to focus on the main character Denji going to school in what was dubbed as the School Arc. MAPPA announced the anime adaptation of Chainsaw Man in last year’s Jump Festa in December 2020. In June this year, MAPPA released a trailer for Chainsaw Man. However, no news of the anime or the continuation of the manga has been released since.
However, some details regarding the staff were announced. The anime is directed by Ryū Nakayama (director) and Makoto Nakazono (chief episode director), and the music is composed by Kensuke Ushio. No details about the voice cast, the release date, number of episodes, or how many chapters will be adapted have been released.

What to expect
While the hosts for Chainsaw Man’s super stage are shown to be mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto and editor Lin Shihei, important information regarding the anime is speculated to be released. There have been many ongoing debates in the fandom regarding the voice cast of the Chainsaw Man anime, which will likely be revealed during the Super Stage Ex, at least in part. Since both the mangaka and the editor are present, information about Part 2 of the manga can also be expected. Mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto himself has said that there will be some important information revealed during the Super Stage Ex on December 18. Some sources also suggest that a new trailer will be shown at Jump Festa 2022.
In conclusion
Chainsaw Man has been in production for nearly two years now, and as MAPPA’s passion-project, it is one of the most anticipated anime adaptations in recent history. With the popularity of the manga, the anticipation for Part 2 is also at a high.
Hopefully, after December 18, fans will have more concrete information about both the anime and the manga. Interested readers can read Chainsaw Man manga on Viz.com and Manga Plus.
