The Final Chapter of Chainsaw Man Part 2 Is Coming

Big news in the manga world this week. Fans of Chainsaw Man were surprised after an announcement confirmed that Chapter 232 will mark the final chapter of Part 2, scheduled to release worldwide on March 24, 2026, on the Manga Plus platform.

The announcement appeared at the end of chapter 231, where readers saw a message teasing that the next chapter would be the final one of this arc. The news quickly spread across manga communities online, with many fans shocked by how sudden the ending seems to be.

For context, Chainsaw Man is the dark action manga created by Tatsuki Fujimoto, first serialized in 2018. The story follows Denji, a teenager living in extreme poverty who merges with his devil companion Pochita, transforming into the brutal anti-hero known as Chainsaw Man.

The series quickly became one of the biggest manga hits of the last decade. By January 2026, it had already surpassed 35 million copies in circulation worldwide, making it one of the best-selling manga series of modern times.

Part 1 of the story, known as the Public Safety Saga, ran for 97 chapters and ended in 2020. Part 2, often called the Academy Saga, began in July 2022 and introduced a new central character, Asa Mitaka, who forms a contract with the War Devil and becomes deeply connected to Denji’s story.

Now, after over seven years of storytelling and more than 230 chapters, Part 2 is officially coming to an end. But the big question among fans is simple: is this really the end of Chainsaw Man?

Some readers believe the story might continue with a Part 3, especially since several plotlines are still unresolved. Others think creator Tatsuki Fujimoto may be preparing a completely new direction for the series.

What’s certain is that March 24, 2026 will be a major moment for the manga community, as one of the most unpredictable and influential modern manga stories reaches the conclusion of its second major arc.

And now, fans around the world are waiting to see how Fujimoto will end this chapter of the Chainsaw Man saga.
