Chainsaw Man is a manga series by Tatsuki Fujimoto, published in Japan since 2018. The Shōnen series is classified in the genres of action, fantasy and horror. The story tells of Denji, a boy who has become half devil and can turn his head and arms into chainsaws.Denji's life is frequently threatened, and it becomes clear that all his enemies are after his heart...
The story is incredible. Everything is connected and the end (of Part 1) will leave you speechless. The way Fujimoto tells the story like a movie is very satisfying. Dialogues are smooth and the pacing is very fast yet the story is easy to follow. Why ? Because Fujimoto uses a lot of chapter for action scenes but gives us necessary information at the exact right time.
The art style can be described as unique, but at the same time rough and partially undetailed. Well designed characters, many iconic manga panels and great action scenes that I consider one of the best in manga history. However characters are sometimes poorly drawn that my father, for example, had difficulty distinguishing between them (well... I did not have this problem in any case). That is why I find it hard to judge whether the art is bad or good. But one thing is for sure. I love it :D
I would say that the best part of Chainsaw Man are the characters. Denji, a crazy boy you would not expect as a Shōnen protagonist. Power, a sister-like character you just can't hate no matter what she does. Aki, the cool brother-like character with the tragic backstory. Makima, mommy Makima. They are all unique and memorable, even the minor characters who only appear in 2 chapters. Another strong aspect is the character development of the main trio (Denji, Power and Aki). From a strained relationship, the three become a family. You will notice this especially with Aki but I will just go on because I don't want to spoil.
I recommend Chainsaw Man to all except of course those who don't like gore.This manga is obviously not for everybody. It is very violent and grotesque. Chainsaw Man is disgusting… disgustingly good 😈 Once you get Chainsaw Man you will be obsessed just like me.
But seriously I am really obsessed with Chainsaw Man. I read it more than 7 times. Everything that happens in the manga hits me on a personal level. I somehow relate to Denji (I’m not kidding help) “He just like me fr !!!!”
Only read if you read the manga !! Spoiler, click to viewDenji forgives Makima and I do the same.It is not just because Makima is hot. What she did is actually ACTUALLY really unforgivable but I still love her… just like Denji does
