  But Why Tho? - Kate Snchez

  Overall, Chainsaw Man Volume 3 is fantastically unsettling. It offers the wholesome Denji that readers have fallen in love with, excessive amounts of blood and violence, unsettling Devils, and ends with a gut wrenching chapter. If you're not reading the individual chapters of the manga on the Shonen Jump app, this volume will push you to it with its ending. Read Full Review

  Up until now, Chainsaw Man has been playful with pieces of gore thrown in. It's about this fun-loving guy who turns into a chainsaw creature and tears through demons. Fujimoto pulls the rug out from under us with this volume, showing the real stakes for these characters and what they must be willing to do to keep the world safe. It's a major step up for the series. Read Full Review

  Ok so let's get the yuck out of the way first - yes, there's puke, and yes it's drawn with just as much detail as the rest of the story. Fujimoto is upping the ante every volume, so who knows where we're going from puke-kiss. The two end up back at Himeno's apartment and she does start to undress Denji, but he backs out as he doesn't want her to be his first. After the kind of peaceful morning and everyone getting back to work, Fujimoto kicks the action into overdrive with who is shot and potentially dead by the end of this volume. My heart literally started racing as more folks were getting shot, so anything getting that kind of emotional reaction might be worth reading through the yuck. Read Full Review
