Welcome to my site! I created this space to share the amazing manga art of Tatsuki Fujimoto. I was inspired by his unique storytelling, cinematic style, and the way his work can make us laugh, cry, and reflect on life all at the same time. I decided to explore some of his recent work such Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc, Look Back, and his series 17-26 because of the way they make you reflect on what inspires you and why you do what you do.
A Brief History of Tatsuki Fujimoto
Fujimoto was born on October 10, 1992, or 1993, in Nikaho, Akita Prefecture, Japan. He started drawing at an early age. He had no preparatory schools available near his home, so he went to painting classes in which his grandparents attended and practiced oil painting. He graduated in Western painting from Tohoku University of Art and Design in Yamagata, Yamagata Prefecture in 2014.
In 2011, Fujimoto drew his first submitted one-shot work, A Couple Clucking Chickens Were Still Kickin’ in the Schoolyard, which was nominated for the December Jump SQ. Monthly Award (it was later published on the Shōnen Jump+ online platform on July 17, 2017). Fujimoto’s one-shot, Seigi no Mikata (“Sense of Justice”), was an entry work for the 10th Supreme Comic Grand Prize season II in 2013. His next one-shot work was Kami Hikōki (“Paper Planes”), for which he won a Jury Special Award at the 3rd Shueisha’s Crown Newcomers’ Awards in 2013. Fujimoto’s next one-shot work was Sasaki Stopped a Bullet, for which he won his second Jury Special Award at the 5th Shueisha’s Crown Newcomers’ Awards in 2013 (later published on Shōnen Jump+ on June 13, 2016).
Fujimoto published his first major and serialized work, Fire Punch, on Shueisha’s Shōnen Jump+ online magazine, where it ran from April 18, 2016, to January 1, 2018. The series spawned eight tankōbon volumes. Fujimoto also published on Shōnen Jump+ the one-shot Woke-Up-as-a-Girl Syndrome (“Woke-Up-as-a-Girl Syndrome”) on April 24, 2017, and the one-shot Sisters in the June 2018 issue of Jump Square on May 2, 2018.
Fujimoto’s second major serialized work, Chainsaw Man, was published in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump from December 3, 2018, to December 14, 2020. A second part was serialized in Shōnen Jump+ from July 13, 2022, to March 25, 2026. Chainsaw Man topped Takarajimasha’s Kono Manga ga Sugoi! list of best manga of 2021 for male readers, and earned Fujimoto the 66th Shogakukan Manga Award for Best Shōnen Manga. In 2021, the manga won the Harvey Awards for Best Manga; it won the award for the second time in 2022, and for the third time in 2023.
A two-volume collection of Fujimoto’s previous one-shots, Tatsuki Fujimoto Before Chainsaw Man(“Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Short Stories”), subtitled 17–21 and 22–26, were released on October 4 and November 4, 2021, respectively.
