Chainsaw Man

In this article, about how the production of the second season of the popular anime Jujutsu Kaisen brings attention to the ethical issues in the animation industry, the faces of two men are fused together against a bisected background with a black substance sticking out between their fusion point. The leftward man has white hair and blue eyes and is tipping his sunglasses with a flick of his hand, sticking his tongue out. The rightward man has black hair tied up into a bun, bang hanging down around his dark eyes as he smirk at the audience; a black earring is studded through his ear. On the left the background is colored turquoise, on the right red and kanji is printed boldly against the screen.
