Can you guys recommend some similar mangas? I don't mean in terms of genre or fantasy element but in the feeling Chainsaw Man gives off. I especially like the sense of the grim unknown and the predication that it all makes from within the shadowy system yet unknown to the reader. I have read Fire Punch.

If you like gore and goofball comedy (and sudden switches between them), you should give Dorohedoro a try.

I got a similar feeling when I read Ragna Crimson.

There's thirty fairly large chapters. That's at least enough to get you started.

the endless doorbell onomatopoeia and the giant body count list from the last few chapters are some neat design choices. but also: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

i guess we don't really know how much time passed between the last two chapters, but the abruptness of this one makes it hard for me to believe it wasn't planned

They better not graphically kill the cat. I almost quit reading My Hero Academia and I don't want to see that poo poo again. Yeah I know this series has killed a bunch of people already but that sort of thing really sticks with me.

Why does a fictional cat getting killed bug you more than the hundreds of people we've seen violently get sliced up, shot, exploded, ripped in half, etc. over the past ~70 issues?

If you actually want an honest answer there's a level of extreme innocence to these pets that really makes me feel like poo poo when that happens. I also prefaced my earlier post expecting this exact responce since this thing really gets me despite the other brutality.

Are we sure that Aki is actually the Gun Fiend? He honestly looks more like Chainsaw or Sword or any of the others while they're transformed than Shark or Violence.

e:Not to mention that he knows Denji by name, which the Gun devil probably wouldn't be able to.

my fear is that Makima has set this up, on purpose. All based on what Future devil told Aki

doesn't Makima bring Aki to Future devil in the first place?

He's missing the razor teeth we have seen with all other hybrids. The reason he came to Denji was because of Aki's memories. There might still be some mind fusion happening, what with kid Aki and the snowball fight.

The future devil would also love Aki fusing with the gun devil.
