Denji’s a poor young man who’ll do anything for money, even hunting down devils with his pet devil Pochita. He’s a simple man with simple dreams, drowning under a mountain of debt. But his sad life gets turned upside down one day when he’s betrayed by someone he trusts. Now with the power of a devil inside him, Denji’s become a whole new man—Chainsaw Man!
The first performance of “Chainsaw Man The Stage” is scheduled to take place at The Galaxy Theatre on Tennozu Isle on September 16 and will continue its run until October 1. Subsequently, the production will move to Kyoto Gekijo, where it will be staged from October 6 to 9.
