## Synopsis

Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 (2025) is a Japanese adult animated anthology series created by Tatsuki Fujimoto and released on Prime Video. Its eight episodes of roughly nineteen minutes each adapt short manga stories the Chainsaw Man creator drew between the ages of seventeen and twenty-six, including the first manga he ever submitted for competition. Six studios and seven directors reinterpret these works, so each standalone story arrives with its own cast of characters and its own visual approach. Voice performances from Kensho Ono as Yūto, Shion Sakurai as Ami, and Kazuki Ura as Yōhei anchor the early tales, while Kimiko Saito, Mitsuo Iwata, and Chika Anzai carry others. Rather than following one protagonist's arc, each episode pursues its own engine of desire, impulsive choice, and escalating absurdity, often colliding young love with chaos and madness. The tone shifts between comedic, philosophical, and bleakly strange, with a rough, unpolished energy that fans of Chainsaw Man, Black Mirror, and anime anthologies will find resonance in. Because the entries are self-contained, viewers can dip in at any point. The adult content and violence make it suitable only for mature audiences.
