Read volumes 1-11 in two days. Despite being an absolute copy of about 25 similar comedy-horror shōnen, it brings something fresh to the table that I've yet to identify.

Nếu bạn muốn đọc truyện này thì phải làm quen với việc bỏ não sang một bên, đọc những cái bẩn bựa và hàng đống nhân vật từ chính đến phụ sẽ chết mà chả để lại cảm giác gì. Nó kì quặc hết chỗ nói nhưng cũng cực kì lôi cuốn :))

This came HIGHLY recommended. I liked it but it is super weird. I don't find the protagonist likeable, but I'm not sure I'm supposed to. I think I'm supposed to feel sorry for him and laugh at him.

The sketches and artwork on here were incredible and I hope they don't deeper on characters as it keeps going.

Fujimoto has the worst ideas and uses them in the best ways possible

Weird but maybe good? I like the basic premise and the art is good, but I found the writing style (or possibly translation) to be a bit abrupt and stilted. I think this is a side effect of Denji's characterization/ the wild world building and will hopefully settle a bit in further books. Minor grumping aside I am very interesting in where the story is going & seeing more of the world. I generally have a fondness for weird monster stuff and Fujimoto takes it that perfect extra step by adding in random spots of adorableness (Pochita, ultra toast, Meowey)

In all, an interesting start to a story with tons of potential with a surprising mix of cute and gross art!

You're the chainsaw-man now, dog!
This statement couldn't be more on-point.

Book Summary
First off, a man finds a chainsaw dog. He saves it, and it repays him by becoming his heart, allowing him to convert into a chainsaw himself at the pull of an ignition string out of his chest.

What I Liked
This was a blast. It was fun and funny.
I thought it was a bit like [b:Death Note, Vol. 1: Boredom|13615|Death Note, Vol. 1 Boredom (Death Note, #1)|Tsugumi Ohba|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1419952134l/13615._SY75_.jpg|1782155], simply because of the demons and the different creatures. Not at all because of the story.

The story reminds me of Doom's Doomguy. We go from scenario-to-scenerio where he hunts down demons and iveserates them with his chainsaws. Its wicked fun!

Final Thoughts
Would highly recommend if you like silly manga, mediocre illustrations, and mindless plot.

4.1/5
