KOSUKE KAWAMURA'S VOICE
"The original art and anime drawings are highly finished and very detailed, so I was able to expand my ideas for T-shirt design materials and experiment with various collage tastes and techniques. I hope that people who have always liked Chainsaw Man will enjoy the different taste and also people who are not familiar with Chainsaw Man will want to try it on."
