Synopsis
"Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26" is an animated anthology that brings to life eight one-shots created by the acclaimed author of the manga Chainsaw Man in his youth. Six studios and seven directors come together to adapt these early works, including the first manga Fujimoto submitted to a contest.
Each episode opens a window into a different world, where the everyday intertwines with the fantastic, the intimate with the disturbing. Between the innocence of first love and the abyss of tragedy, passing through violence, magic, and madness, the desires, fears, and obsessions that marked the author's creative beginnings are revealed, leading him to become one of the most influential and essential voices in contemporary manga.
