Tatsuki Fujimoto has already shown how much creative energy is in him, with Chainsaw Man. But that his ingenuity does not end where a head becomes a chainsaw prove 17-21 and 22-26. The two individual volumes each contain four short stories from different creative phases of Fujimoto: from two chickens in a world full of aliens, to a contract killer who is supposed to kill an immortal, to a boy who plays piano for a mermaid underwater.
