Chainsaw Man (Japanese: チェンソーマン, Hepburn: Chensō Man) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto. Its first arc was serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from December 2018 to December 2020; its second arc began serialization in Shueisha's Shōnen Jump+ app and website in July 2022. Its chapters have been collected in 23 tankōbon volumes as of February 2026.

Chainsaw Man follows the story of Denji, an impoverished teenager who makes a contract that fuses his body with that of Pochita, the dog-like Chainsaw Devil, granting him the ability to transform parts of his body into chainsaws. Denji eventually joins the Public Safety Devil Hunters, a government agency focused on combating Devils whenever they become a threat to Japan. The second arc of the story focuses on Asa Mitaka, a high school student who enters into a contract with Yoru, the War Devil, who forces her to hunt down Chainsaw Man in order to reclaim what he had stolen from her.

In North America, the manga is licensed in English by Viz Media, for both print and digital release, and it is also published by Shueisha on the Manga Plus online platform. An anime television series adaptation produced by MAPPA was broadcast from October to December 2022. An anime film, titled Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, premiered in September 2025. An anime adaptation of the Assassins Arc has been announced.

By January 2026, the manga had over 35 million copies in circulation, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time. In 2021, it won the 66th Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōnen category and won the Harvey Award in the Best Manga category from 2021 to 2023. Chainsaw Man has been overall well-received by critics, who have praised its storytelling, characters, dark humor, and have particularly highlighted its violent scenes within the context of the story.

Synopsis

[edit]

Setting

[edit]

The series is set in the late 1990s, in an alternate timeline where the Soviet Union still exists. In this world, Devils (悪魔, Akuma) are born from the collective fears of humanity. Specialized operatives known as Devil Hunters (デビルハンター, Debiru Hantā) are tasked with eliminating them and often form contracts with them to gain their abilities or powers in return. A Devil possessing a human body (usually deceased) is known as a Fiend, while certain individuals can become hybrids via merging with Devils. Devils are capable of reincarnation, cycling between Hell and Earth: when one dies on Earth, it reappears in Hell, and when killed there, it returns to Earth. A unique exception to this cycle is the Chainsaw Devil, whose consumption of another Devil permanently erases the concept that Devil represented from both existence and human memory. As a result, the Holocaust, AIDS, and nuclear weapons are completely forgotten.

Plot

[edit] Further information: List of Chainsaw Man characters

Part 1: Public Safety Arc

[edit]

Denji, a teenager living in poverty, works as a Devil Hunter to pay off his deceased father's debt to the yakuza, and is aided by Pochita, his canine companion and the Chainsaw Devil. After the yakuza betray and nearly kill Denji in a deal with the Zombie Devil, Pochita merges with Denji, reviving him as a hybrid on the condition that he live a humble, ordinary life. By pulling on a cord in his chest, Denji transforms into Chainsaw Man and kills the yakuza and the Zombie Devil.

Subsequently, Denji is recruited by the government-run Public Safety Division, a unit of professional Devil Hunters led by Makima, who then assigns him to hunt the Gun Devil. Denji is partnered with Aki Hayakawa, an experienced Devil Hunter, and Power, a Fiend created from the Blood Devil. Under the supervision of veteran Hunter Kishibe, the three train together and defeat multiple adversaries, including Devils, the yakuza, and assassins from foreign nations, all seeking Denji's power.

Makima is later revealed to be the Control Devil, whose true goal is to dominate Pochita, as his ability to consume Devils allows him to erase the fears and concepts they embody from existence. The Gun Devil, whose body has been divided among various governments for use as a superweapon is deployed by the United States to eliminate Makima. She defeats it and forces it to possess Aki as the Gun Fiend; Denji is forced to kill him in self-defense. Makima also later kills Power in front of Denji, rendering him catatonic and forcing Pochita to take over his body.

Kishibe organizes a raid to rescue Denji alongside cowardly Public Safety operative Kobeni Higashiyama. With their help and the last of Power's blood, Denji kills Makima. In the aftermath, Kishibe entrusts Denji with the care of Nayuta, a young girl who is the reincarnation of the Control Devil. In a dream, Pochita thanks Denji for showing him his dreams, and encourages him to live his life to the fullest. Denji enrolls in high school and continues to hunt Devils independently as a vigilante.

Part 2: School Arc

[edit]

Asa Mitaka, a socially withdrawn high school student, forms a contract with the War Devil Yoru after she is killed by a classmate who made a contract with the Justice Devil. Now a Fiend with Yoru inhabiting her body, Asa seeks to break their pact and regain control, while Yoru secretly plans to use their bond to revive the Nuclear Weapons Devil. Meanwhile, Denji balances his life as a student and Chainsaw Man while caring for Nayuta, the reincarnated Control Devil. His attempts to reveal his identity are thwarted by government operative Hirofumi Yoshida, who arranges a meeting between Asa and Denji—one she dismisses. Tensions rise when a Chainsaw Man impostor murders Asa's friend Yuko.

Fami, a girl claiming to be the Famine Devil, manipulates events to alter the prophecy of Nostradamus and delay the Death Devil's arrival. After Denji and Nayuta survive an attack by the Falling Devil, they are captured by Yoshida's organization. Meanwhile, the Chainsaw Man Church, secretly controlled by Fami, promotes their own impostor. Barem Bridge, a Church member, reveals their contract with the Fire Devil, allowing followers to transform into Chainsaw zombies and incite global chaos—strengthening both Yoru and Chainsaw Man for the coming battle.

After Barem destroys Denji's home and kills his pets, Nayuta seemingly sacrifices herself. Denji is imprisoned and harvested for parts before being rescued by Asa, Yoru, and Fami. When Barem presents what appears to be Nayuta's severed head, an enraged Denji allows Pochita to take over his body again. Public Safety attempts to exploit Pochita's power by having him devour the Aging Devil to erase old age, but Denji traps the Aging Devil in its own domain. Yoshida offers Denji an ultimatum: become Yoru's weapon against Death in exchange for being allowed to execute Yoshida. Denji refuses, cutting ties with the organization.

Empowered by humanity's growing fear of war, Yoru offers Denji a new deal—defeat the Death Devil and earn Asa's affection or fail and be transformed. Asa warns that Yoru's shifting motives may hasten the prophecy. The pair embrace chaos, rampaging through Tokyo's zombie apocalypse. Meanwhile, a timid high school student is confronted by the impostor Chainsaw Man and reveals herself as the real Fami. She is quickly subdued by the fake Fami, actually the Death Devil, who forces her and the impostor Chainsaw Man (later revealed to be a human civilian contracted with the Fire Devil) to join the Falling Devil in unleashing an "abyss of terror" upon humanity, fulfilling the prophecy. Yoru and Denji soon arrive, clashing with Fami, the Fire Devil-empowered impostor Chainsaw Man, and the Falling Devil. Yoru defeats the Falling Devil after America reinvents the nuclear bomb and uses it on the Soviet Union, empowering her.

Denji, after being left for dead, is saved by the Death Devil, who reveals her name as Li'l D. Li'l D reveals that Yoru intends to cause an infinite war by having Pochita eat her, causing death to cease to exist, and plans to recruit Denji to her side. Denji is greeted by Yoshida, but Barem detonates a bomb and incinerates the latter. This causes an enraged Denji to give Pochita control and devour Barem. Afterwards, Fami, Li'l D, and Pochita confront a newly arrived Yoru, who wants a duel with Pochita. As Pochita and Yoru duel, Denji and Asa meet in a separate, alleyway dimension. Both open up about their previous trauma and Asa decides to sacrifice herself to allow Denji to kill Yoru. Pochita instead proceeds to devour Li'l D and continues fighting Yoru. Yoru seemingly kills Pochita, but Denji emerges in a new hybrid Chainsaw Man form.

Production

[edit]

Despite the series' violent content and dark humor, Tatsuki Fujimoto always intended to serialize in Weekly Shōnen Jump. However, he believed his work would be overlooked if he created a conventional "Jump-like manga", so he consciously preserved his individual style while adopting the magazine's typical narrative structure and character archetypes.[5] Fujimoto was inspired by the 1974 film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to create the series.[6] Following the series' success, Fujimoto chose to publish the second part of Chainsaw Man on Shōnen Jump+ to explore a completely different direction. He noted minimal differences in the editorial processes between the two publications, stating that while a few depictions were adjusted at the rough draft stage, he was granted full creative freedom regarding the story's logic.[5]

Fujimoto drew inspiration from various sources. Although his schedule during the serialization was demanding, he actively consumed new media and incorporated elements from them into his work.[5] On Twitter, he cited the final battle in the 2016 film Kizumonogatari Part 3: Reiketsu as a direct influence for the climax of the series' first part.[7] He also described the series as a "wicked FLCL" and a "pop Abara."[8] While Fujimoto had planned certain story elements from the outset, others were developed during serialization. He intentionally left various concepts vague and open-ended to facilitate the narrative expansion in the second part.[5]

Critical reception

[edit]

Chainsaw Man has been overall well-received by critics. James Beckett of Anime News Network awarded the first volume a B+, praising its eccentric blend of humor, violence, and emotional depth. He highlighted its compelling world-building and character development, noting that the series distinguished itself through its unapologetically chaotic yet earnest execution.[101] Nicholas Dupree, also writing for Anime News Network, described the series as a bizarre yet unforgettable experience, unmatched in its unpredictability.[102] Hannah Collins of Comic Book Resources lauded the series for balancing supernatural action with poignant character moments, calling it a potential future classic.[103] Julia Lee of Polygon commended its graphic action and darkly comedic narrative, citing it as one of Weekly Shōnen Jump's standout new titles.[104] Sheena McNeil of Sequential Tart awarded the first volume a 9/10, drawing comparisons to works like Army of Darkness, Devilman, and Dorohedoro while praising its distinct appeal.[105]

Anna Neatrour of Manga Report highlighted Denji's damaged yet compelling characterization and the series' effective mix of gore and humor.[106] Danica Davidson of Otaku USA noted its bizarre yet heartfelt execution, acknowledging its commercial success in Japan.[107] Katherine Dacey of The Manga Critic expressed mixed feelings, acknowledging its polarizing yet undeniably unique appeal.[108] Ian Wolf of Anime UK News rated the first volume 6/10, praising its action sequences but critiquing its lack of depth in writing.[109]

Fujimoto's artwork garnered particular praise. Collins commended his thick, expressive linework for enhancing the series' gritty atmosphere.[103] Dupree lauded the increasingly surreal and unsettling devil designs as the story progressed.[102] Beckett acknowledged the initially generic character designs but praised the dynamic clarity during action sequences.[101] McNeil noted that while human character designs were unremarkable, the devils and gore were visually striking.[105] Dacey found some devil designs uninspired but noted others elicited strong reactions.[108] Wolf considered the art the manga's strongest aspect, particularly in its action scenes.[109]

Themes

[edit]

Critics noted that Chainsaw Man employed graphic violence and gore in ways that enhanced its narrative. Dupree highlighted its irreverent tone and visceral action as distinguishing features.[102] Collins observed that the gore contributed to the series' unfiltered and raw atmosphere.[103] McNeil described the violence as absurd yet balanced by underlying humanity.[105] Davidson acknowledged its gruesome nature but found it thematically appropriate.[107] Lee noted that the extreme gore set it apart from conventional shōnen manga, fitting its dark premise.[104] Dacey characterized it as a battle manga that pushed boundaries with excessive violence.[108] Beckett acknowledged that while the series reveled in bloodshed and crude humor, it risked alienating some readers.[101]

Adi Tantimedh of Bleeding Cool described the characters as socially marginalized individuals, interpreting the narrative as a critique of societal dehumanization.[110] Collins noted the series' premise is "loosely" comparable to Jujutsu Kaisen, but argued Denji subverts the shōnen protagonist mold, with his "life on the fringes of society" resembling a "Dickensian parable about the plight of the working class."[103] Dacey found Denji a more flawed and realistic teenage protagonist, but struggled to connect with him.[108] Lee noted that while Denji's simplistic motivations could be repetitive, the introduction of complex side characters like Power and Makima elevated the narrative.[104]

Tantimedh praised the series' deadpan comedic timing, stating that its slapstick elements prevented it from becoming overly grim.[110] Beckett likened its tone to a fusion of raunchy comedy, Hellboy, and The Evil Dead.[101] Dupree highlighted its crass, nihilistic humor as a deliberate contrast to more "bleedingly sincere and family-friendly" titles like One Piece and My Hero Academia.[102] Neatrour appreciated its offbeat and juvenile comedy.[106] Wolf found the humor simplistic but fitting the series' absurdity.[109]

Dacey noted moments of genuine pathos, particularly in Denji's bond with Pochita and his fraught relationship with Makima.[108] Davidson similarly emphasized the emotional core of Denji and Pochita's connection.[107] Dupree argued that beneath its nihilistic exterior, the series conveyed a cynical yet heartfelt struggle for meaning.[102] Reiichi Narima of Real Sound [ja] interpreted the finale as a tragic love story, praising its seinen-like maturity within a shōnen framework.[111]
