Drop whatever you're doing: Chainsaw Man creator Tatsuki Fujimoto has an extremely important PSA.
Many mangaka use social media platforms to update their fans on their work and even drop some in-progress artwork, but not Chainsaw Man's Tatsuki Fujimoto. Borrowing his "younger sister's" Twitter account (@/nagayama_koharu), mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto took to Twitter for a critical life update. When he isn't busily traumatizing fans with chapter updates from Chainsaw Man, he spends his time recommending things for people to eat. Fujimoto wrote, "I ate watermelon today. I recommend eating cut watermelon as it's easy to eat."
Fujimoto the Food Blogger
Fujimoto really appears to love food, particularly watermelon. He ate two more on June 18 and April 28, and it was so delicious he couldn't help but tell over 700,000 of his followers this revelation. Fujimoto mainly uses his little sister's account as a food diary because, on June 1, he ate a delicious dish of mapo tofu; on May 4, he ate cake; and on April 15, he ate four delicious things but opted to keep an air of mystery around that particular tweet, deigning not to reveal what those four delicious things were. He also appears to enjoy 7-11 convenience store food, as he has recommended konjac with meat and Christmas cake.
Aside from food, Fujimoto wants his fans to know he also enjoys long walks and beautiful sunsets. He has also used his account to recommend movies or manga he has watched or read, such as Hell's Paradise, NOPE and his assistant's R-rated Boys' Love manga. Since his Chainsaw Man live-tweeting fiasco where Twitter suspended his account due to his sister being underage, the mangaka hadn't had many problems with the social media platform except on April 10 when he informed his fans he had been locked out, but thankfully was able to find his way back online.
On Twitter, Fujimoto appears pretty normal and seems to be the kind of guy who might love vlogging. Elsewhere, the mangaka's quirky and outrageous personality shines through. In his one-shot collection, he revealed that he had consumed his childhood pet after failing to bury it. "I'm not sure what came over me," he said in a scandalous tell-all, "but in that moment, love for that pet fish welled within me for the first time. I brushed the ants away, and then I ate it." His Chainsaw Man protagonist Denji also shares Fujimoto's voracious appetite as he enjoys eating food -- and other things.
Chainsaw Man will release Chapter 134 on Tuesday, June 27 on Viz Media, Shōnen Jump and Manga Plus apps.
