A creative Chainsaw Man fan has fabricated a striking cosplay of the holder of Ghost Devil Contract.
Created and uploaded on Reddit by popular cosplayer Kerocchi, the costume features Himeno’s stylish black suit and signature eyepatch. The photo’s low angle and the inclusion of a cigarette delicately balanced between two fingers convey an attitude of general coolness and swagger.
Chainsaw Man Fans’ Impressive Cosplay
Himeno isn’t the only fan-favorite Chainsaw Man character who has inspired impressive instances of cosplay recently. For example, another costume maker extraordinaire posted a manga-accurate recreation of Reze that spotlights the Bomb Girl’s intense green eyes. Moreover, cosplay icon Grayson Finn showed off his interpretations of Kishibe, the captain of Tokyo Special Division 4. One version shows the character smoking a cigarette and another sees him wielding a bloody knife; both feature Kishibe’s prominent facial scar.
The Chainsaw Man manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto debuted in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump in December 2018 before moving to Shōnen Jump+ in 2020, where it continues its serialization. The story focuses on Denji, an extremely poor young man who is forced to pay off an enormous debt by taking on deadly and dangerous jobs. However, after his gangster employers betray him, Denji finds himself recruit by a shady government organization. As part of the Public Safety Division, Denji works with other Devil Hunters like Himeno and utilizes his unique power to transform his limbs into chainsaws to hunt down monsters.
Chainsaw Man Tops the NYT Bestsellers List
Even though Chainsaw Man premiered relatively recently, Fujimoto’s series already stands alongside classics like Hiro Mashima’s Rave Master and Yoshiyuki Sadamoto’s Neon Genesis Evangelion as one of the best-selling manga of all time with over 23 million copies in circulation worldwide. It also won the Best Manga category at the Harvey Awards in both 2021 and 2022, and it has appeared on the NYT Bestsellers list multiple times.
Chainsaw Man’s anime adaptation by studio MAPPA (Jujutsu Kaisen) originally aired its first season from October to December 2022. It stars Kikunosuke Toya as Denji alongside Mariya Ise (Fairy Tail) as Himeno, Shogo Sakata (Fire Force) as Aki, Tomori Kusunoki (The Misfit at Demon King Academy) as Makima and Fairouz Ai (Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs) as Power. At the time of writing, it is unclear if the Chainsaw Man anime will receive a second season because the home video release has greatly underperformed.
VIZ Media distributes Fujimoto’s manga in North America.
