Tatsuki Fujimoto manga in English: every series and where to start

The Tatsuki Fujimoto shelf in English is easy to map. Fujimoto has 5 series with English volumes. Of those 4 are complete in English. Only one is still coming out. Fujimoto handled story and art on every book below. All volume counts in this guide are as of October 2026.

Chainsaw Man

Start with the big one. Denji is a teenager with a debt he never asked for. His father died owing the yakuza a fortune and left the bill to his son. Denji pays it off by hunting devils. His partner is Pochita. Pochita is a small dog-like devil with a chainsaw sticking out of its head.

The genre list is wide. It covers action, comedy, drama, horror and supernatural. The themes are demons, urban fantasy, coming of age and gore. Fujimoto did both the story and the art.

In Japan the series is finished at 24 volumes. English has 22 of them so far. Volume 23 comes from VIZ Media on 2 February 2027. After that English will be one volume short of Japan. The Chainsaw Man series page lists every English volume and date.

Fire Punch

Snow covers everything in Fire Punch. It never stops falling. Food is scarce. That is the setup.

The labels tell you the tone. It is filed under action, drama, mystery, psychological, supernatural and thriller. Its themes are post-apocalyptic, tragedy, dystopian and revenge. Expect a hard read rather than a comedy.

Fujimoto wrote and drew it. The run finished in Japan at 8 volumes. All 8 are out in English. So the English edition is complete. The Fire Punch page has the full volume list.

Goodbye, Eri

This one is a long one-shot. The hook is in the layout. Nearly every page is drawn like footage from a phone camera.

It sits in drama and psychological. The themes fit the format: filmmaking, meta, POV and coming of age. Fujimoto did the story and the art.

It is 1 volume in Japan. It is 1 volume in English too. There is nothing more to wait for. See the Goodbye, Eri page for the English edition.

Look Back

Two girls who draw are at the center of Look Back. In fourth grade Fujino has a four-panel strip in the school paper. That is where it begins.

The genres are drama and slice of life. Its themes are drawing, hikikomori, coming of age and work. Story and art are both by Fujimoto.

Like Goodbye, Eri it is a single book. Japan has 1 volume. English has 1 volume. It is complete in English. The Look Back page has the details.
