Generally, when a manga series becomes too popular, it is followed by a TV anime. While mostly it is to simply elevate the status of the manga and make it more well-known sometimes, it’s also for catering to the audience who want more such content.
The same seems to have happened with CSM too, as it was recently announced that we will be getting a Chainsaw man Live action that will be coming in the form of a stage play that is titled Chainsaw Man The Stage. Many popular Anime and manga get such Stage plays and it seems CSM is next.
Chainsaw Man Live Action: Cast, Release date, Story
We will tell you everything you need to know about the upcoming Chainsaw Man Stage Play.
Story
The Story will cover till all the major characters have been introduced so it might go on till the Bat Demon arc or Time Demon arc. The story of Chainsawman goes like a young impoverished boy under debt named Denji, becomes partners with a demon dog with a chainsaw on its head.
He works as a devil hunter in order to pay back the debt that his father owed to the Yakuza. After he was betrayed by them under the control of Zombie Devil, stabbed and left to die, Pochita fused with him. he replaced Denji’s heart, in turn transforming him into the Chainsaw Man.
After getting revenge on the yakuza and the Zombie Devil, he was recruited by Makima of the Public Safety Division 4, where he was joined by fellow hunter, Aki Hayakawa and Fiend Power. Thus the Chainsaw man Live action will probably cover all these stories.
Cast
While the cast is yet to be announced for Chainsaw Man Live action, we know that the director who will be directing the stage play is Fumiya Matsuzaki who has previously directed the live action adaptations of the Mobile Suit Gundam 00. It is said that the cast will be decided somewhere during the summer.
But for now we know that artists will be required for Denji, Makima, Power, Aki, pochita among others. Generally a stage play runs for the same time as a film so it might have anywhere between 10-20 characters.
