    But Why Tho? - Kate Snchez

    Sep 23, 2020

    Chainsaw Man Volume 1sets a wonderful foundation in just seven chapters. Fujimoto is able to drop readers into a new world, establish how it works, and knock an emotional moment out of the park. With 86 chapters currently available on VIZ Media's Shonen Jump app, you're going to have to yourself from diving directly into the next chapters of Denji's story. Read Full Review

    Chainsaw Man Vol. 1 is a brutal, gory, crass, but surprisingly thoughtful and human beginning. Worth a look, though maybe pick up the second volume alongside it. Read Full Review

    Chainsaw Man introduces us to a world of monsters, forcing its main character to become one in order to live there. It has a tremendous amount of potential if it can avoid the groan-worthy juvenile humor it seems to divert so much attention to. Read Full Review
