A mix-mash of gory violence, slapstick humor with all the bizarreness you could never expect. It's quite challenging with a number of triggering content and over-the-top violence but if you're willing to venture through it you will find its tiny little beating heart. At its core Chainsaw Man is, in a way, a story about a boy's searching for a way to survive the world -- and love.

What a frenetic and action-packed beginning! The Muscle Devil scene gave a nice parallel to Denji and Pochita’s situation, so I’m a bit sad it was not included in the anime. However, I think I liked the pacing of the anime more, since there’s always a lot going on in the manga.

Yassss the origins of my fav duo Denji and Power! This is such a silly manga, I can't wait to read the rest!

I found out about the box set edition so I opted to stop reading and wait rather than to continue to buy more single issues. I have the box set now so I’ll continue the series soon.
