About Chainsaw Man
Chainsaw Man is a shonen manga written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto - also the author of Fire Punch.
Chainsaw Man is set in an alternate timeline where certain historical events have not happened, or have unfolded differently.
In its intriguing but scary world, Devils emerge from human fears. These can be malevolent beings, though they might also help humans and even form contracts with them.
The main character Denji lives in poverty, working as a Devil Hunter - a person who hunts and employed demons to forge contracts with humans - in order to pay off his dead father's debts. He's accompanied by his pet Pochita, a Chainsaw devil.
When he outlives his usefulness, Denji is betrayed and murdered. At that point, Pochita offers to merge with him. Denji then becomes the titular Chainshaw man, a hybrid creature with the ability to transform parts of his body into chainsaws - but this time around, he has to live a normal life!
This violent and darkly humorous work has captured the interest of many fans who can't wait to see the story animated!
