Chainsaw Man, Vol. 1: Dog And Chainsaw: Volume 1

When Denji is betrayed by someone he trusts, he becomes permeated with the devil’s powers and unleashes them in the form of Chainsaw Man. Part human, part devil, now he has to choose between joining the government agency responsible for hunting down and killing demons, or becoming the prey himself. The protagonist is a simple being, whose only dreams in life are clean clothes, a working toilet, and the possibility that he just might one day get to touch a boob. My teenage self can relate. However, things take a turn for the worse for Denji when he is dismembered by the Yakuza over debts owed by his father. Left for dead in a dumpster, he forms a contract with the Devil Dog Pochita, who becomes his heart. After this, he can transform into the devil-human Hybrid known as Chainsaw Man by pulling a cord on his chest. Given the subject matter, it would’ve been easy for writer Tatsuki Fujimoto to fill the pages with gory content, however the seven chapters on offer here are interlaced with humour and heart, courtesy of the likeable Denji. I have to say that I genuinely feel for him, will someone please just let him touch a boob! This isn’t a pg-13, mind. The action sequences when they come are not only graphically violent but highly creative too, and horror hounds will equally get their fix. This is a great introduction to the Chainsaw Man series, combining the everyday trials of a hormonal teenager with the bloodlust of a demon hunter, who has chainsaws protruding from his head and arms. It’s totally bonkers, but great fun to boot! I enjoyed the first instalment and will definitely be picking up book two.

Good read

10/10 good mix of maturity sexiness humor and action this manga has a great main character, Denji, whose character development is great and it’s only the first book will totally be reading the series I love this so far and would totally recommend no negativity towards the manga

If you're at all interested in manga, in series like Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack On Titan etc, or just enjoy good storytelling in general, do yourself a favour and read this series. It's childish jokes and charm slowly turn into a dark and bleak story with some of the best art I've seen. This series is a very solid 9/10 for me, purely because I haven't read the last volume yet(it's not out in my country for a couple months)

A good read I enjoyed it alot especially as it was my first manga comic. Cool artwork and original story in a way

one of the best manga in recent years

Peak

The art is beautiful, the character designs and gore are incredibly detailed, the story so far is a master class in pacing and suspense, in subverting expectations in the best way possible, the panel lay outs are like shots in a movie, and sometimes even your imput as a reader actively turning the page is used with you, coralating to a sword slash or chainsaw chewing though things. The artist has done a fantastic job integrating the real life aspects of reading into the manga itself which I haven't anywhere else before. Would 100% recommend to anybody interested in a gory action anti-hero manga with some seriously dark twists and turns. This is one to own physically.

I’m fairly new to manga. But this surprised me. Was always thrown off by the name as “cheesy” but this was really good. Funny along with interesting. Can’t wait to continue.
