love the action and gore

G。 Tyler ，

Strong art style and gorgeous action with ragged， frenetic line work that makes the action almost vibrate on the page， the story of Denji and his journey to a happy life where he can just eat toast and not sleep in a shed is a heartbreaking and fist pounding journey strapped to the end of a ripcord。 The translation in the otherhand does not carry the same umph as the art， with an English translation that is good， but feels too wooden and flat in delivery to match the action and characters on the Strong art style and gorgeous action with ragged， frenetic line work that makes the action almost vibrate on the page， the story of Denji and his journey to a happy life where he can just eat toast and not sleep in a shed is a heartbreaking and fist pounding journey strapped to the end of a ripcord。 The translation in the otherhand does not carry the same umph as the art， with an English translation that is good， but feels too wooden and flat in delivery to match the action and characters on the page， it's serviceable， but that meh makes it stands out even more next to some of the absolute money shots Fujimoto is putting down in these pages。 It feels as if the translation team is still trying to find it's feet with the material， and I'm willing to go another book or 2 with this story and art to let them find that soul that matches the living， chainsaw revving vibration of a soul that is this story。If your down with a story about a young man surrounded by tragedy but somehow still driven towards some of the most tragically simple dreams with an innocent optimism that I can only describe as punk， then pull the ripcord reader。 You'll dig this。 。。。more

Bastante sólido este primer tomo

A boy his dog， and his chainsaw。

amy ，

Actually Very Good i like power and makima a lot but to be honest denji kind of reminds me of why im a misandrist

Chris Ramirez ，

I ordered this book back in January and it barely came in cause it’s so popular at the moment I thought this was cool so far but I think the more I read the more into it I’ll be。 Luckily I bought the second one awhile back so I’ll be reading that one shortly after。

Lma ，

This manga is a very interesting yet awesome manga。 It has amazing design， lewd scenes， good fight scenes， and very interesting characters。 I'd highly reccomend this to anyone who likes seinen manga。 This manga is a very interesting yet awesome manga。 It has amazing design， lewd scenes， good fight scenes， and very interesting characters。 I'd highly reccomend this to anyone who likes seinen manga。 。。。more

Alejandro Del Bosque ，

Un manga muy sangriento。 El personaje tiene motivaciones muy básicas por vivir una vida de perro， con lo que interesa cómo se comporta cuando se le otorga algo de dignidad。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 i’m just logging this volume instead of all 11 of them but i did read the whole thing and yes i read it all in one 7 hour sitting and yes it was very painful for my heartdenji could have just。。 not opened the door？？？ imagine having super ominous dreams telling you not to do something and then you do the thing twice。 idk i just wouldn’t have but that’s me

Miriam ，

I wouldn’t say the premise is revolutionary or anything but I am curious to see what happens next。 This was only the first volume， after all。 The way Denji （the mc） is written got me attached to him pretty quickly - you want to root for him。 I really like Fujimoto’s art style too and I think it’ll look good animated。

Tyler ，

might not be perfect but I’m having fun reading it

Ben Zimmerman ，

This manga is perfect。 16+ for gore， ultraviolence， tobacco use， and sexual humor

Daniela ，

mira que yo me río/entretengo con cualquier cosa。。。。 this aint it además de que tenía muchas expectativas en cuanto al arte y tampoco fue para tanto y bueno si ya venía mal terminó peor con los chistes bastantes sexistas que obvio no me sorprenden pero siguen siendo un garrón （recontra se puede producir algo buenísimo sin ser ofensivo o borderline pelotudo ejemplo: JJK）

Zian B。 ，

More of a 3。5 star rating;The story itself I’m interested in learning more about although I don’t know exactly how I feel about it just yet。 All I do know is that I want to give Denji a hug and a good life。 Also， I trust no one in this volume aside from little Pochita。

Davie Green ，

This reminded me so much of Tokyo Ghoul but funny and not taking itself anywhere near as serious。 Excited for Volume 2 （which in my case is unfortunately in German。。。）

Ferran ，

Al punto de violencia y humor 👍🏻

Nouran ，

Well Denji my boy， my boy。 This guy is something else。 I’m hooked

Alex Johnston ，

The debut of a new legend， nothing more to say about it。 Tell me another manga series where the #1 and #2 volumes sold out so hard that you couldn't even find a used volume for months？？？？ Volume 2 is still sold out but I got vol 1 and I loved it。 So hyped to re-read as the volumes drop。 Denji and Power baby， you love to see these crazy kids。 Also I forgot while reading along the first time but they do make it clear that Makima is bad news from the jump lol。 The debut of a new legend， nothing more to say about it。 Tell me another manga series where the #1 and #2 volumes sold out so hard that you couldn't even find a used volume for months？？？？ Volume 2 is still sold out but I got vol 1 and I loved it。 So hyped to re-read as the volumes drop。 Denji and Power baby， you love to see these crazy kids。 Also I forgot while reading along the first time but they do make it clear that Makima is bad news from the jump lol。 。。。more

I love that Denji is created to be someone who's motivated by such a shallow reason。 Also， Power supremacy！ I love her since the day I met her。 Kinda forget how annoying Aki was。 I love that Denji is created to be someone who's motivated by such a shallow reason。 Also， Power supremacy！ I love her since the day I met her。 Kinda forget how annoying Aki was。 。。。more

Hace unos meses una amiga me recomendó este manga y me platicó su premisa。 Me pareció bastante loco pero no sería la primera vez que leo una obra de este tipo。 Así que cuando ayer me ofreció un amigo prestarme el primer volumen， no pude resistirme。Para ser el primer tomo de un seinen de peleas， no me sorprendió tanto。 Tengo en la mente todavía muy grabados los primeros tomos de One Punch Man， Berserk y Claymore。 Poseen imágenes muy fuertes， elementos emotivos， algunas respuestas pero muchas más Hace unos meses una amiga me recomendó este manga y me platicó su premisa。 Me pareció bastante loco pero no sería la primera vez que leo una obra de este tipo。 Así que cuando ayer me ofreció un amigo prestarme el primer volumen， no pude resistirme。Para ser el primer tomo de un seinen de peleas， no me sorprendió tanto。 Tengo en la mente todavía muy grabados los primeros tomos de One Punch Man， Berserk y Claymore。 Poseen imágenes muy fuertes， elementos emotivos， algunas respuestas pero muchas más interrogantes sobre la trama que te atrapan。 En esos elementos， Chainsaw man es mucho más reservado。 No se arriesga tanto， no busca impactar tanto， aunque las escenas son violentas， el diseño de personaje de los enemigos pudo ser mejor。 El protagonista se ve muy bien pero los primeros demonios que destaza no son temibles ni perturbadores de ninguna manera y eso sucede en todo el primer tomo。 A nivel emotivo si lo intenta más， el autor se esfuerza en impactarte。 Vemos a Denji， el protagonista， sufrir por una deuda impagable， ser pobre， básicamente morir de hambre; y también vemos el amor que tiene por su perro demonio Pochita。 Por eso cuando los eventos se empiezan a mover， si tiene varios momentos que me puso triste。 Pero intenta aplicar la misma relación que tenían Denji y Pochita con otros personajes al final del tomo y en lugar de hacerme sentir cosas， lo sentí poco original。El dibujo se me hizo adecuado y las peleas son llamativas。 Pero parece que nuestro protagonista es demasiado fuerte， está matando muchos demonios en este primer tomo y no vemos que sea un verdaderos obstáculo para él。 También parece que abordarán temas existenciales como One Punch Man。 En varios momentos sentí paralelismos entre estas dos series， espero que ambas series se distancien más en el futuro y que Chainsaw man encuentre su propia voz。 。。。more

Just started this because I saw a few friends talking about it and I really enjoyed it。 I love a dumb himbo mc with morals， my absolute favorite。*“I don’t wanna go chainsaw though。 The anemia sucks。”

This is a review of the entire series。Demons are running wild all over the world and plenty of devil hunters are willing to put their necks on the line for a good sum of money。 The Yakuza is no exception to this rule。 Stuck with a massive debt after losing his deadbeat dad and his home， a young boy who never received love or an education named Denji has no choice but to enlist his services

of devil hunters are willing to put their necks on the line for a good sum of money。 The Yakuza is no exception to this rule。 Stuck with a massive debt after losing his deadbeat dad and his home， a young boy who never received love or an education named Denji has no choice but to enlist his services in the Yakuza faction of hired hunters to earn his keep on the streets because he was never taught a better way of living。 After coming across a chainsaw-dog demon in his line of work， an innocent creature that's all alone in the wilderness just like himself， the two band together for mutual survival。 After being betrayed and murdered by the Yakuza， the demon dog fuses together with Denji's heart to save his live， creating a devilman: a being that is half human and half demon。 Shortly after becoming the devilman fittingly named Chainsaw Man， Denji is hired by the Public Safety Devil Hunters to put his new powers to good use all the while being observed to make sure he doesn't lose his humanity and become a threat to mankind himself。Now that he's actually in a position of comfort， stability and close connections with other people like himself， Denji starts to question his dreams， aspirations and desires for the first time in his life。 He's curious about friends， family and sexual relationships。 He's curious about the meaning of life and what role he serves in the grand scheme of things。 Denji is essentially a newborn baby with the hormonal intuitiveness of an edgy teenager， bumbling around in a world of bizarre monsters and crazy people without a clue。 The story is entirely from his point of view， so the lens we view the narrative is also completely absurd and unpredictable， which makes the tone feel incredibly different than the average dystopian nightmare。 In comparison， everything seems oddly childlike， grotesquely humorous and utterly devoid of any kind of logic or reason。 This isn't a bad thing by any means， the way the story is told perfectly reflects the nature of its main character and his own child-like view on otherwise complex problems。Denji is a wacky， childish， unpredictable and reckless fool who makes all of his decisions on a whim which often leads to pure chaos。 Never having any type of eduction or familial relationships， he quite literally has the attitude， mindset and emotional maturity of a toddler in a young man's body。 Paired with ridiculous demon powers on top of this， his motivations are often laughably absurd and the plot continuously evolves with an equal amount of absurdity to match the demeanor of the protagonist。 The story plays out similar to a Deadpool comic， constantly poking fun at the absolute batshittyness of its plot and protagonist all the while trying to constantly outdo itself be getting more and more insane and nonsensical with every chapter。 Just like some Deadpool stories， it gets surprisingly emotional and philosophical at times as well。Similar to the author's previous work Fire Punch， I had an almost identical outlook on the series as a whole。 Most of the time， it's absurd and shocking just for the sake of being absurd and shocking， and that's not really a bad thing if you just want to go along with a surrealistic fever dream type of story that flexes its own ridiculousness every chance it gets。 Just like Fire Punch however， around the 60% mark， the story gets so abstract， obscure and bizarre that it practically becomes uninterpretable。 I had no idea what was going on during the entirety of the last 4 volumes or so and the ending left me wondering what the hell I just read。In spite of its flaws and nearly incomprehensible finale， it's certainly entertaining overall and can be enjoyed simply because of how weird it is。 Although he was a relatively simplistic character， I enjoyed Denji's awkward relationships with equally wacky characters throughout the story as he struggled to figure out how a human being is even supposed to think or act。 I especially enjoyed his relationship with the demongirl Power who became his hilarious and bratty sister-figure and got into plenty of zany antics with him。 Though their relationship was mostly played up for laughs， it had its touching moments as well。***My Social MediaMy YouTube Channel: https://www。youtube。com/channel/UCPPs。。。My Instagram Account: https://www。instagram。com/michael_sor。。。My Wattpad
