Not every story is supposed to be intricate with a dozen branching subplots and characters to go with, but this feels very formulaic, as in, like every shonen manga ever, though more horny. And the writing feels immature, unedited, and not cohesive at all in some places. It's like if Mineta was the protagonist of My Hero Academia.

To wrap things up and not gush too much, admittedly there are times where dialogue can be clunky and the plot a little hurried, but these are so few and overshadowed by moments of brilliance that personally I wasn’t overly bothered. Keep in mind this is a young author and this is one of their early works (it’s going to be exciting to follow their career!). At its most essential, Chainsaw Man has a huge heart. You may have to saw your way through some fat to get to it, but hey, the fat’s where all the flavor is, right?

Okay, so this wasn't exactly my favorite start to a new manga series, but I'm interested in seeing where Fujimoto takes the story and our main character Denji. Chainsaw Man appears to place in our world where humans and demons/devils somewhat coexist. Denji is swimming in debt and kills devils with his devil pet dog Pochita to help bring in some sort of income. Unfortunately, after the Yukuza takes their share, Denji isn't usually left with much. During an unfortunate set up, Denji is forced to join "spirits" with Pochita and becomes Chainsaw Man. Once discovered, he works with Makima and a government based organization to help keep control of all of the demons/devils.
