This is a mostly spoiler-free (there are some context-less images) review of the entire first part of Chainsaw Man (volumes 1-11). My goal is to encourage everyone to read at least as far as volume 3, and preferably (if this review is as persuasive as I’d like it to be) through volume 6 before writing the series off as simple, juvenile, needlessly vulgar, or some combination of all of these. Tatsuki Fujimoto is neither a simple nor juvenile writer, though that doesn’t stop them from indulging in the mindless joy of drawing a chainsaw-armed creature messily murderizing some zombies. But blood-splattered action is by no means all this series has to offer. Chainsaw Man, Vol. 14". Viz Media. Archived from the original on October 26, 2023 . Retrieved October 19, 2023.

As a side note, representing one of two female characters as a terrible person who is willing to use her power (in Denji's case, of seduction) over a male character and threatening to kill him if he doesn't comply isn't cool. Female characters don't have to be perfect or damsels, but at least have a decent rep of other female characters before you choose to do this with one of the only female characters you have. And of course there’s action, but if that’s what you came here for then you probably didn’t need to read this review because you already know how good it is. Chainsaw Man, vol. 13] (in Japanese).

Not every story is supposed to be intricate with a dozen branching subplots and characters to go with, but this feels very formulaic, as in, like every shonen manga ever, though more horny. And the writing feels immature, unedited, and not cohesive at all in some places. It's like if Mineta was the protagonist of My Hero Academia. Natalie (in Japanese). Natasha, Inc. July 13, 2022.
