Start on the current chapter, never read previous chapters, sink or swim.

for the longest time when i saw people talk about chainsaw man i thought it was this edgy violence thing that's not my jam so i just ignored it, until one day i decided i should at least check out the latest chapter to give it a fair shake. that chapter was the one where asa boldly declared that she's pretty cute before smash-cutting to Fish Facts and that's all it took to convince me the manga's good actually

There was a GHOST here.
It's gone now.

I really appreciate that Fujimoto doesn't write "female" characters, he just writes stupid, messy people.
Very relatable.

This manga, chapter to chapter, cannot decide if its a comedy or a traumatic horror story and it seems to stick the landing every time. Fujimoto you mad man.

Theres no way this ends poorly. Also its really funny to have to make Asa and Fami say their plan out loud because its so stupid.

I was just thinking how Denji’s life before becoming chainsaw man was worse in many ways. :smith:

Glad we have Katana dweeb to get us off the despair train in the dumbest way possible.

Asa's plan makes total sense (sort of) in that she assumes Denji's life beforehand was something relatively normal and not that he was down an eye, a ball, several organs, murdered his own dad and was in permanent enslaved debt to the yakuza.

Not going to lie, "Kobeni has been sold into sexual slavery" would in fact absolutely destroy the series and make me stop reading it, not be 'very funny.'

I wonder if Fami is generally lying about how pochita-Denji contract works or actually doesn’t grasp the contract as well as she thinks. I’m pretty sure the contract was to “show Pochita Denji’s dreams.” Real chainsaw man showed up because Makima made his dreams come true and Makima completely destroyed them. So I guess Fami’s plan is to get War to defeat chainsaw man, so war can turn CSM into a weapon, which then means he’s not living a normal life dream I guess???

What I’m getting at is Fami might be dumb as rocks, or big brain master manipulator smart. There is no in between.

I would be down for these, I dont want to see kobeni humiliated in a sexual context but i also wouldnt put it past fujimoto to really drag a character through it like that.

Kobeni at the brothel but as security instead of a sex worker; she ends up bullying Sideburns again

It's really interesting how everyone is in complete denial about what's going on in the world right now. No way Denji can get back to a "normal" life when nobody is living a normal life right now

Denji clearly has like a full half a functioning brain, lets not pretend he's not the smartest person in the group right now.

even if fami is 100% telling the truth about her plan it's still completely impossible. these dumb losers can't arrange a heart transplant! the rest of it might work, in theory. but denji would definitely die at the end and asa's the only one that would care.

yeah Denji being so out of the loop thanks to being in pieces for a while means he's the only person who hasn't been fully desensitized how bad poo poo is.

Look Denji if you just let a group of high schoolers give you a heart transplant you can go back to your normal life.

I'm sure your daughter is safe with the police, you can go pick her up and go back to school.
