How many Chainsaw Man manga volumes are there?

The complete Chainsaw Man manga contains 24 numbered volumes.

That number includes both major parts of the story. Part 2 is not a separate sequel series and does not go back to Volume 1.

Part 1

Volumes 1 to 11

The first major part of Denji's story, commonly known as the Public Safety Saga.

Part 2

Volumes 12 to 24

The story continues directly with Asa Mitaka, Yoru and Denji through the final volume.

Is Chainsaw Man really finished?

Yes. Volume 24 is the final numbered volume of the main Chainsaw Man manga and contains the ending of the series.

That gives the manga a permanent total of 24 volumes, so collectors now know exactly how large the complete numbered run is.

For collectors: a complete main-series shelf is simply Chainsaw Man Volumes 1 through 24.

Does Chainsaw Man Part 2 restart at Volume 1?

No. Part 2 begins with Volume 12.

If you finish Volume 11, continue directly with Volume 12. There is no separate Part 2 Volume 1 to buy.

Where does Chainsaw Man Season 1 end in the manga?

The first anime season adapts through Chapter 38.

The continuation begins with Chapter 39, which is collected in Chainsaw Man Volume 5. Starting the physical book from the beginning gives you a little overlap before moving into material beyond the first season.

Where does the Chainsaw Man Reze Arc film end?

The Reze Arc covers manga Chapters 39 to 52.

To continue after the film, move to Chapter 53 in Volume 7. This is the cleanest physical starting point for readers who have already watched the Reze story.
