I like the support characters as well. Power is like Harley Quinn on cocaine. Makima is like a female version of Griffith from Berserk or Johan from Monster. Denji’s partner Aki is the brooding serious type which adds an interesting contrast between them. The action and monster designs are also very creative. And with that, this insane manga keeps going. I'll be honest first chapter or two I enjoyed but didn't love. However, when they began to bring in a great supporting cast and insane battles the manga kept getting better and better. The humor also kept increasing, but in the right way, and I began laughing at a few parts every chapter. Tatsuki Fujimoto also writes some of my favorite female characters in modern shonen manga. He’s very good at an “I can fix her”: from nasty freaks, to sad losers with snot constantly running down their face, to Most Evil Person Alive, to lesbian hitman with demon harem. The introduction to the protagonist of the second major arc is a total masterclass in establishing a character. How could anyone NOT like these weirdos? The news was first shared by the manga series editor Shihei Lin on social media, confirming that serialisation will resume in Jump Plus from July 13th. Pretty much the only 'personality' trait of the main character is that he's desperate to touch some boobs

However, not a single Chainsaw Man instalment featured on the top-15 best-selling volumes of 2021; being dominated instead by Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece and Demon Slayer.On December 14 th 2020, following the release of chapter 97, it was officially confirmed that the Chainsaw Man manga would be taking an extended hiatus but with the promise that one day, it would eventually return for a second part. Take your basic monster hunter premise and insert a very dim protagonist who can magically protrude chainsaws from his arms and face and whose major dreams are pretty simple: food, shelter, and oh yeah, "I wanna touch some boobs . . . " It's the same old story. Boy finds a devil dog with a chainsaw for a nose, devil dog is assimilated into the boy's body, boy now has a chainsaw ripcord coming out of his chest, boy now can turn into chainsaw man by pulling the ripcord, boy then has a chainsaw coming out of his face and a chainsaw coming out of each arm, boy meets girl from the secret service, secret service girl forces boy to use his chainsaw powers to fight the many devils and demons that run amok in the world, boy is obsessed with boobs, boy is even more obsessed with secret service girl's boobs. We've all heard it a million times before.

So at the start we have Denji who is trying to survive. He'll do pretty much anything for some money. He also has his trusty dog Pochita, who has a actual chainsaw coming out of his freaking head. So together they kill devils and make money. But one day something horrible happens to Denji and Pochita must do something to save him. Tus Chainsaw Man is born!To wrap things up and not gush too much, admittedly there are times where dialogue can be clunky and the plot a little hurried, but these are so few and overshadowed by moments of brilliance that personally I wasn’t overly bothered. Keep in mind this is a young author and this is one of their early works (it’s going to be exciting to follow their career!). At its most essential, Chainsaw Man has a huge heart. You may have to saw your way through some fat to get to it, but hey, the fat’s where all the flavor is, right?
