Tatsuki Fujimoto Before Chainsaw Man: 22–26

I'm a big fan of Chainsaw Man, so I had to buy his other books and honestly this did not disappoint. It's only 4 short stories but they show how good of a story teller Fujimoto is! I felt that the last story was the weakest but still good nonetheless. Also, the stories feel very diverse in nature, covering anywhere from serious and adult themes all the way to funny and lighthearted. Glad I bought it, it's the type of book I'd casually pick of the shelf and read through more than once!

Despite being advertised as tatsuki fujimotos style, this actually shows a more wholesome few short stories that are more akin to parts of chainsaw man featuring denjis relationships with his friends. Overall, this has a few very fun stories that are really enjoyable to sit and read

Tatsuki Fujimoto is one the current best manga writers in my opinion. Within the manga, you'll find several short stories that Tatsuki had drawn and written prior the success of Chainsaw man. a personal favourite from this book will be woke-up-as- girl syndrome which I found comical and enjoyed.

Fujimoto cooks again.

Scary story

Much the same as the earlier compilation this is four quirky tales of adolescence, though this time round they're a little happier and more wholesome. There's a tale of making peace with mermaids with music, a brothers love for his demonic sister, a boy who unwilling becomes a girl and a girl's nude painting on display in a school. I can't be certain, but there is one page that would appear to have been pointlessly censored for our sensitive western eyes, also the endnotes mention how in the original it's a full colour page piece but we just get it B&W.

I do enjoy reading a good comic book.

I’ve got the book and it’s cardboard envelope untouched. Open the envelope and the book looks like it’s got water damage Or got damp because it’s really wavy would turn it back but can’t be arsed with the hassle for £7 but the books good I really enjoyed chainsaw man and I enjoyed this, but unfortunately the pages was really wavy it was like I was at the seaside (but I don’t blame the sellers, just the Amazon shipping Service)

An absolute treat for fans of Chainsaw Man and those curious to see the early works of this groundbreaking creator. These stories showcase Tatsuki Fujimoto’s distinctive style and storytelling approach, filled with the raw, emotional, and sometimes surreal qualities that he later perfected in Chainsaw Man. Wild creativity, unfiltered imagination, and dark humor keeps you engaged from start to finish. The artwork is rough yet captivating, perfectly fitting the tone and themes of his early work. His ability to blend absurdity with real human emotions is truly compelling, and it’s fascinating to see how his unique style evolved over the years. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to his work, this collection is a must-read. It’s inspiring to see the seeds of Fujimoto’s genius on full display here, and it serves as a testament to his growth as a manga artist. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to dive deeper into one of manga’s most original voices!

Interesting read, and you can really see some ideas that later get reused in his newer works.

These stories are great and very Fujimoto. I like how before each story there is a small blurb from him about why he wrote it.

I have been enjoying his work lately. Let me tell you his work is by far one of the best manga artist around the world due to unique story telling and art style. You should give a try of his work one day!
