Chainsaw Man Manga Author Live-Tweets Reactions on Episode 5

Chainsaw Man author Tatsuki Fujimoto showed up on Twitter to live-tweet his reactions on episode 5 of the anime adaptation titled “Gun Devil” in real-time during the broadcast. The manga creator “borrowed” the Twitter account from Koharu Nagayama (@nagayama_koharu), whom he’d created and usually acts as. Fujimoto tweeted about the previous episode last week in the same way, and Nagayama said she would let him use the account next week in the same time slot.

“This is Tatsuki. I’d like to do it also today,” the Chainsaw Man author showed up about ten minutes before the broadcast of episode 5. His next tweet was a reaction to a commercial sequence’s song titled “Shiawase” by Vaundy: “I like ‘Shiawase’“, followed by “I’m sleepy and hungri right now” with a typo.

タツキです。今日もよろしくお願いいたします
