The Chainsaw Man (Original Series Soundtrack) vinyl edition becomes available March 3, but preorders have just begun.
A press release explained:
“The release arrives as a 2-LP gatefold set with obi strip, newly pressed on vibrant red vinyl with black splatter and accompanied by a 12” insert featuring some of the show’s most iconic scenes from its massively successful first season. There is also an exclusive variant available through Walmart featuring marbled orange vinyl as a nod to fan-favorite character Pochita.”
The music was composed by Kensuke Ushio, whose background credits include Space Dandy, A Silent Voice, Devilman Crybaby, Boogiepop and more. In addition to the red splatter version, there’s also a Pochita-styled orange vinyl variant that will be a Walmart exclusive.

VIZ Media publishes the original Chainsaw Man manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto, and gave this description for the first volume:
Denji’s a poor young man who’ll do anything for money, even hunting down devils with his pet devil Pochita. He’s a simple man with simple dreams, drowning under a mountain of debt. But his sad life gets turned upside down one day when he’s betrayed by someone he trusts. Now with the power of a devil inside him, Denji’s become a whole new man—Chainsaw Man!
