Chainsaw Man Manga Author Live-Tweets Reactions to Episode 8

Chainsaw Man manga author Tatsuki Fujimoto live-tweeted his reactions on episode 8 of the anime adaptation titled “Gunfire” in real-time during the broadcast. The manga creator “borrowed” the Twitter account from Koharu Nagayama, an account he created by his “sister” who uses it to post about her daily life.

“This is Tatsuki Fujimoto. I’d like to do it also today!” the Chainsaw Man manga author appeared on Twitter five minutes before the broadcast and made an announcement about the manga in the next tweet. He said that the series will take a break this week or next week and there will be a chapter that has more or fewer pages than usual. He concluded the tweet with an apology. The anime starts airing at midnight in Japan. Here is a chronological list of Fujimot’s reactions to Chainsaw Man episode 8 made during the broadcast:

• The Sakuga is good
• Wow
• That’s caring~
• I’m jealous

• It looks like a pain
• The Sakuga is good
• Cute~
• Denji is also cute
• Good boy
• The Sakuga is good
• Thoughtful~ [The original tweet includes a typo of omission, which makes Yasashii (thoughtful) a different word Yasai (vegetable )]
• That reminds me I was drawing the scene while listening to Ringo Shiina [A female Japanese singer]
• I don’t think those who do the Sakuga can sleep
• I like the way of the wrinkles
• That’s a nice morning
