Tatsuki Fujimoto's hit manga, Chainsaw Man, has seen its first theatrical anime, "Chainsaw Man Reze Arc," hit screens, with its Japanese box office steadily closing in on the 10 billion yen milestone.
Now, the official Japanese channels have announced the sixth wave of theater bonuses! Starting December 6th, moviegoers can snag the first bonus booklet, but with a brand-new cover illustration by Tatsuki Fujimoto himself, depicting "Reze and Denji's Elementary School Graduation Ceremony." This instantly blew up on Japanese X (formerly Twitter), leaving fans with a bittersweet taste.
This is the same "Love, Flower, Chainsaw, Guide" booklet from the first bonus wave, featuring a special, newly drawn cover illustration by Fujimoto. Inside, you'll find original four-panel manga, "Reze Arc" manuscript pages, drafts, production commentary, and precious theatrical setting materials and storyboards.
However, this sixth bonus swaps out the cover for the "Reze and Denji's Elementary School Graduation Ceremony" illustration. Naturally, for fans, this image creates an adorable atmosphere, fulfilling the "going to school together" dream that many viewers of the main story had – almost like peeking into a gentle parallel world.
This move caught many fans off guard. Just when they thought Fujimoto was heading one way with the fifth bonus, "Reze and Denji's High School Entrance Ceremony," he pulled a fast one and went all the way back to elementary school for the sixth!
This whole "Reze and Denji" bonus campaign has been a total heart-punch for fans. All these sweet, non-existent memories are just too painful to bear!
With seven planned bonus waves, and the sixth already here, these are absolute must-haves for dedicated fans. It looks like the "Chainsaw Man Reze Arc" bonus frenzy isn't slowing down anytime soon.
