Thanks to his popularity, any recommendation by Chainsaw Man creator Tatsuki Fujimoto is met with interest from fans. Now, the latest recommendation from Fujimoto is an R18 Boys' Love manga.
Fujimoto isn’t exactly a BL writer, so this latest recommendation from him may come as a surprise. Though it makes sense when you consider that this BL manga is created by one of his assistants.
This is the latest assistant of his that has gone on to work on their own manga.
In fact, many of the artists that Fujimoto has worked with became renowned manga artists themselves over the last couple of years.
Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Assistants
Before Chainsaw Man, Fujimoto worked on the Jump+ serial Fire Punch. At the time, he was assisted by three manga artists who are now big names in their own right.
One of these assistants is Tatsuya Endo, the creator of Spy x Family. Endo is technically Fujimoto’s senior as he has been a manga author for years now. Though his big break came after Fire Punch’s end.
Another Fujimoto assistant is Yuji Kaku. After Fire Punch’s end, Kaku began working on Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku, a Shonen Jump+ series that became quite popular, enough that an anime adaptation from MAPPA is on the way.
Finally, we have Yukinobu Tatsu, a manga artist who has worked on both Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man.
Following Chainsaw Man Part 1’s ending, Tatsu released Dandadan, a manga that is now one of the most popular titles on Jump+.

Fujimoto Recommends R18 Boys' Love Manga
On his Twitter account (which is in the guise of his fictional little sister), Tatsuki Fujimoto shared a link to an R18 Boys' Love one-shot made by one of his assistants for Chainsaw Man Part 2.
The author of this one-shot is Eris Sino, an artist who draws manga and works as an assistant for some titles.
For Chainsaw Man, Sino is helping Fujimoto with the backgrounds.
Given that it’s a new one-shot, there’s not much info about it yet in English.
What's confirmed is that it is published in the latest issue of PriaL, a Japanese BL manga magazine.
Currently, there’s no word yet on an English release for this BL one-shot. But given the track record of Fujimoto’s previous assistants, it won’t be a surprise to see Sino release a hit manga of their own much like Endo, Tatsu, and company.
