“Chainsaw Man” is a Japanese manga series by Tatsuki Fujimoto that began serialization in 2019. The anime was broadcast on TV from 2022. The anime is based on the action manga about the adventures of Denji, a boy who has acquired the power of a “chainsaw demon”.

Synopsis

In a world where demons are prevalent in everyday life. The main character, a young boy named Denji, earns his living as a “devil hunter” exterminating demons with Pochita, a “chainsaw demon,” in order to repay his dead father’s debt. However, the debt did not decrease, and his wish for a normal, everyday life did not come true.
One day, Denji was tricked by a yakuza who was offering him a job, and was murdered by a “zombie devil,” but he was revived when Pochita became his heart. With the power of the “chainsaw demon” in his possession, Denji wipes out a group of zombies, and is led and controlled by the public security devil hunter who rushes to the scene.
Denji moves to the Public Security Bureau headquarters in Tokyo, where he lives with his senior Devil Hunters and the “Blood Fiend,” who was selected as Denji’s buddy. The goal of the Public Security Bureau is to defeat the “Gun Devil,” which once killed 1.2 million people in five minutes, and Denji and his friends battle a variety of enemies. Denji’s fight for the people in spite of his status as a demon attracts a lot of attention, and he gradually becomes a hero.

Chainsaw Man | Recommendations

The charm of “Chainsaw Man” probably lies in the intensity of its characters. It would be fair to say that all the characters have “screwed up” heads. The main character and even the supporting characters are all extraordinary!
There is no sane person among the main characters in this anime. This is because no one with a normal personality can continue to be a Devil Hunter.
The Devil Hunters that the demons fear are not strong people, but “people with screwed up heads. The setting in which all the characters lack the emotion of “fear” is novel.
Another feature is the intensity and magnificence of the battle scenes. The tension-filled battle scenes are the greatest highlight of the series.
