Chainsaw Man manga author Tatsuki Fujimoto live-tweeted his reactions on episode 10 of the anime adaptation titled “Bruised & Battered” in real-time during the broadcast. The manga creator “borrowed” the Twitter account from Koharu Nagayama, an account he created in the name of his “sister” who uses it to post about her daily life.

This is Fujimoto. I’d like to also do it today,” the Chainsaw Man manga author appeared on Twitter 11 minutes before the broadcast, and revealed that he checked a lot of times a chapter of Yama Wayama’s Onna no Sono no Hoshi manga where character(s) eat a meal at the nurse’s room. The series released the third compiled volume on December 8, 2022. The Chainsaw Man anime starts airing at midnight in Japan. Here is a chronological list of Fujimoto’s reactions to the 10th episode made during the broadcast:
