Tatsuki Fujimoto Before Chainsaw Man: 17–21 is a manga short story collection by Tatsuki Fujimoto, published by VIZ Media, featuring early works from the creator of Chainsaw Man and Fire Punch.
Before the chaos of devils and chainsaws, Fujimoto was already experimenting with the strange, emotional, and slightly unhinged storytelling he’s now known for. This collection brings together a set of one-shots created between ages 17 and 21, showcasing everything from awkward romance to dark, existential twists. It’s raw, creative, and a little unpredictable—in the best way—perfect for fans who want to see where it all started.
