The chapter is sad but then the extra made me laugh.

Also those bystanders were pretty smart.

Yep. Another week, another edition of... well. Chainsaw Man.

Nice to see Denji's appreciated. Even with the worst happening, he's got people rooting for him.

...Oh, and right. Chainsaw Man continues to be a manga that keeps its promises. Power is definitely in trouble.

Incredible chapter. Made me tear up a little

Chainsaw Man himself has such an incredible design. The close up shot after he realises what he has to do. Its a chainsaw with teeth and it's more expressive than anything I can recall seeing in ages!

I basically don't follow manga anymore but every week I'm waiting with baited breath for the next chapter. Just brilliant.

Yeah I think this’ll be a big turning point for Denji, especially if Power also dies. He might try to use his wish from Makima to quit devil hunting.

The past wasn't that great either, to be fair.

And, on the upside, this chapter provided more support for Angel's line about that dead woman going to heaven. We see Aki after he dies, and he's happy. There's something on the other side of death other than more Hell.

I thought the Future came across as wistful there. It pretended to be hype but in the end was melancholic. How did having it’s power help Aki out again? It seems like it helped him because it cared. Or it cane to care in the end.

it helped him because it's a giggling sadist, which was clear before it ever made its first actual appearance. its previous contracts robbed people of either their remaining lifespans or all of their other senses, but it gave aki its aid no strings attached just because it (like most devils) hates the chainsaw and delights in his pain

He saw like 6 seconds into the future through his right eye, which let Aki punch above his weight in combat sword fighting.

That power is pretty busted if you're capable right? A six second advantage in every fight with quick decision making skills which Aki had was pretty cool.

I have to wonder how strong that dude with the half Glasgow smile is that he's lived that long as a non hybrid devil hunter.

Strong as all hell, in his prime. I mean, he was partnered with Quanxi and still called himself the strongest Devil Hunter. And he managed to beat all four of her fiends in a fight without even using contracts. Back in the day, he might have even given Makima a good fight.

In wider news, Chainsaw Man has now sold 3,000,000 copies, which is pretty drat good for a manga without an anime

Fujimoto also described Chainsaw Man as a mix of an "Evil FLCL" and a "Pop Abara" (by Tsutomu Nihei, the BLAME! guy) in his comments, which helps explain a lot of influences. Guess comparing Makima (and, to a lesser extent, Power) to Haruko was even more on the money than previously assumed.

Maybe Makima just really likes dogs.

Unconditional love, no manipulation required. It fits right in with a bunch of the other little snatches we see of her just being... a person. Hobbies, friends, that whole thing.

There could be something sketchy, depending on how Denji's request pans out, but assuming Makima does her usual "Okay, let's talk through this, Denji." rather than something extra-weird, (and the look on her face isn't enthusiastic for Denji's request) then it seems safer for the moment to assume it's just a personal trait.

That said, it's nice of Fujimoto to confirm that Makima can snuggle a puppy and people's first reaction is to wonder what evil scheme that ties into.
