5.0

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.

 3.5/5 

‘Chainsaw Man’ by Tatsuki Fujimoto is a brutal start to a series that follows one young man who under tragic circumstances makes a deal that gives him the ability to transform into a half chainsaw, half human being. With these newfound abilities, he joins the Public Safety Devil Hunters agency who fight against devils so that they won’t overrun the world. 

This series starts out with Denji in pretty dire straits and throughout this first volume, that is compounded through the brutal scenes of violence. Denji as a character isn’t particularly engaging. He has a tragic backstory but in the present time he’s solely focused on eating well and getting a chance with a girl. His personality is basically these two aspects. I hope that further installments will continue to develop his personality because it’s pretty dry so far. The other characters in the Public Safety Devil Hunters agency are more interesting and appear to have moderately more fleshing them out. I’m interested enough to keep reading though if this series stays one note, I likely won’t read more than a few volumes.
