From the first trailer ofChainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc, fans who have only watched the anime get a little more insight into the new character who appeared right at the end of Season 1. This is the film’s titular character, Reze. From the trailer, viewers learnReze is a new love interest for Denji, making things all the more complicated for Chainsaw Man himself, as he believes he could have a legitimate relationship with Makima down the line, even though she is manipulating him.
If this trailer is not enough for anime fans still waiting forChainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc’srelease, they can always turn to the source material by Tatsuki Fujimoto. At the moment, there are 191 chapters ofChainsaw Manavailable in English on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. There are also 17 volumes of the manga available for purchase in English. New readers can start from the very beginning of the manga. However, if they watched the first season ofChainsaw Man,then they pick up the manga with chapter #39, asthe anime covers chapters #1 through #38.
For those wanting to read the physical manga, that means they will need to dive intoChainsaw ManVol. 5 part way through, as that book collects chapters #35 through #43, with #39 through #43 being the start of the film’s Reze arc.
