Tatsuki Fujimoto is the creator of the ‘Chainsaw Man‘ manga, but he is not on Twitter by his real name. He uses an alias of @nagayama koharu, who, according to the same account, is the younger sister of the writer. According to a source close to the matter, the mangaka impersonates his sister in order to interact with his fans from a third-party perspective.
The same account has been a trusted source of news related to ‘Chainsaw Man,’ and this is why the fans are taking this news seriously. Keeping in mind the recent announcement of ‘Chainsaw Man’ resuming its biweekly schedule, the general and seemingly endless hiatus came as a surprise to fans.
Why Did The Author Take A Break?
‘Chainsaw Man’ has become one of the most popular anime since its release, the manga that goes by the same name is also a hit among readers. That is why fans are considering Fujimoto’s indefinite hiatus to be a very odd thing. On top of that, Fujimoto not explaining anything further about his off-time is only making it worse.
On the brighter side, fans are hopeful that this break will help Fujimoto to tap into his creative side and steer the manga in a more interesting direction. Although Fujimoto has posted several tweets after the “hiatus announcement,” he has not clarified about the length of his break. Fans are eager and constantly trying to get an answer from the writer but he is not responding to any of these queries, leaving the fans to guesswork.
