At first I was just curious why this weird looking character is often shown on my social media. Then I look further for it and watched the anime until I got hooked by it the same way as other manga/anime I've watched and read before. Chainsaw man is even far more bitter and bloody than Attack on Titan series for me.
Chainsaw man Is a Japanese manga/ comic series written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto with the 1st arc started from December 2018 to December 2020 and the 2nd arc began on July 2022. Its genre is action, comedy horror and dark fantasy. Its animation aired between October to December 2022 with so far only 12 episodes. The story follows the life of Denji, an impoverished young man who had been revived with fusing his body with a doglike devil named Pochita, granting him the ability to transform parts of his body into chainsaws and work as a devil hunter after the agency found him. His life is far from perfect since he lived poorly and his dad died before him leaving amount of debt which he had to pay to the gangster his late father owed to. Due to that, he has simple dreams but troublesome kind of life until one day he was betrayed and killed and Pochita the real powerful chainsaw devil, want to see his dream through him, revived him again for it. Despite great storytelling, characters and dark humor, it needs to be highlighted on the violent scenes which were shown in it related to the context of the story which won't be appropriate for underage reader or audiences.
I like the idea, but this series is not for all people who used to enjoy manga like Naruto, Bleach or even One Piece. It has this sort of dark bitter story which is similar to Attack on Titan's purpose to show its readers and viewers but closer than ever to real life aside from its fantasy devil characters. One of the manga that is just not for everyone. For me it would be 8 out of 10.
The illustration is a random fan art I drew based on its official manga cover back then.
