However, Chainsaw Man is one of her main works and if you haven’t seen/read it, I’m telling you why it’s a must.
Tatsuki Fujimoto’s work revolves around the absurdity of existing, and this implies both pain and love and concern for both, In fact, it also reminds us that violence is something, for this moment, inherent to society and shows us how its young protagonists deal with it from their different perspectives and contexts.
Each of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s works will make you face the absurdity of existing, They usually end with a very positive message. Chainsaw Man It hasn’t finished serialization on Shuēisha yet, so we can’t comment on that, but we wish Denji the best. Next, I’ll explain what the story is about so you can think about whether it’s a good idea for you to take a dip in it.
Beyond Chainsaw Man – The absurdity and heaviness of longing
What is Chainsaw Man about?
Chainsaw Man It is divided into two parts. The second begins with chapter number 98 of the manga, in the Academy saga. The first part explains how Denji, an orphaned boy, finds a demon and threatens it to help him survive.
The dog demon is bleeding to death and the boy finds himself in an extreme situation; he is threatened by the yakuza to make him pay his father’s debt. They have no regard for him and the little boy survives in the open eating paper, he finds himself bitterly alone. Everything will change when he meets the chainsaw demon and they work together, and at least they are not alone. The little demon will be baptized Pochita, even though it is one of the most important demons: the chainsaw demon, and Denji does not know it.
Denji and Pochita talk constantly, the demon is finally a demon: he cannot speak, but the boy tells him his dreams that are “basic”: eating, loving, resting. The little one has always completely lacked it and yearning for it is the only thing he can do. One day, the mafia will prefer to betray him for greater benefit and when he is murdered, Denji tells Pochita to take his body and continue existing. —never thinking about the possibility of the opposite—.
Pochita prefers that Denji achieve his dreams and possesses his heart to help him survive. Pochita is “safe” inside him, in a strange way, and will give him her powers as a powerful demon. After this, the faction of Public Security will want the human hybrid to join them and collaborate to defeat another of the demons. most terrible: the gun demon.
Makima will be the one who insists and seduces him to enter, because of course, Denji is a teenager and also dreams of kissing and doing something else… Although, he would not have the option of declining if he wanted to. The boy will be in charge of another young man: Aki, who, in turn, will also be entrusted to another hybrid: Power, the blood demon.
Both Denji and Power are young people who don’t know how to behave, so they will be a terrible headache for Aki. However, with the passage of time, the loneliness of the three of them will be corrected and together they will manage to start a family, have breakfast and go out. have fun.
However, this will not last long as the demon of control, one of the most powerful enemies of the chainsaw demon wants to destroy him completely. The first part of the anime is about discovering who he is and how to defeat him. Towards the end we will realize that everything has been a painful strategy that Denji will have to overcome. Before commenting on what it is about, I warn you that there will be many terrible spoilers, so from here on, he continues reading under those considerations. If you don’t want to know, he goes straight to the last section.
Chainsaw Man: Part Two – The Pain After the Pain
The first part of the manga Chainsaw Man ends after discovering that Makima is the demon of control and she turns Aki into the gun demon – which he so wanted to take revenge on – Denji will have to kill him and then Power will be destroyed by Makima. After all this, Denji must put an end to the demon of control that he will reincarnate in the little Nayuta who will be placed in his care, with him being watched – at the end of the day he is still the chainsaw demon.
The boy begins to go to school and lives with Nayuta, Power’s cat and Makima’s dogs, he eats ice cream and begins to crave more things, since he is finally getting the first thing he craved. Everything will take a sharp turn when the horsem*n of the Apocalypse appear, who are other demons who want to exterminate Chainsaw Man.
By now we know that there are moments in which Pochita appears as a Black Chainsaw Man and helps Denji survive, but also emulates the things he said he wanted to do—like when he shows up after Aki’s death and eats a hamburger.
So the demon of war and hunger appear to end Chainsaw Man, The problem is that Yoru, the demon of war, uses the body of Asa Mitaka, Denji’s love interest and with whom it seems, well, it could be understood.
Currently, they are all together in an attempt to find Nayuta after Denji was kidnapped, all so that Black Chainsaw Man shows up and can be killed. We don’t know what could happen from this point on. The clear thing is that Denji wants to live and he still wants to enjoy it.

Review: Chainsaw Man – Blood, Love and Standing
Denji is a boy who grows in a very hard way, for example, in terms of desires, he slowly allows himself to want and long for more things and with greater strength, this is how he presents himself to us from sexual desire to romance and desire. personal training of tasks – he wants to become the chainsaw demon and be popular and powerful.
Denji learns to recognize that he wants love and things, considering that he does deserve them, he has not done anything to the contrary. She learns to love and appreciate others, also to respect. The most interesting thing is that he recognizes that the world he lives in is like this, no matter how unfair it may be, and he will not bother thinking about it, but will focus on what he can do, although it sounds conformist, at the end of the day, being realistic Where is your life and your capacity for action?
Furthermore, in a world full of violence and loneliness, what is left for Chainsaw Man after duel after duel? Denji insists on living because he’s still here and he’s willing to stay awake as long as he can. Living is like that, absurd, sad but it can also fill you with longing and warmth.
There is a lot of viscera, desire and some black humor, there is also a strong longing for love crossed by deep loneliness and all of Denji’s traumas adorning the context. Definitely, Chainsaw Man It is a wonderful and perfect title for this moment, when society allows us to carefully suffer our loneliness.
