Chainsaw Man Box Set: Includes Volumes 1-11

Product Information

Me main character. Me like boobs. Me use chainsaw to kill demons. Vroom Vroom. Me have other friends who help me kill demons. Now, Denji, the star of the whole ordeal. Well, he is terribly written. His main motivation was always inspired by sex, that's it. To be fair, Denji is a hormone-driven teenager, which is also probably the target audience. Thankfully, he realized at one point that sex alone might not be the greatest goal ever.

Cliches can be bad but an underutilized trope is even worse..Especially when a writer fails at either deconstructing it or does not utilize it to a satisfactory extent.. Denji kind of feels like a major Gary Sue with how he just never dies. The fights become repetitive because of this and they never excite me or make me hold my breath. The art and concept are very cool, never saw anything like it before. The problem with this manga is it does not at all live up to the hype I do not understand why its Chainsaw Man features a *lot* of character death. Will your favorite survive to the end? Chances are, probably not! But despite that, somehow Fujimoto avoids exhausting readers with deaths. You know you shouldn't care, because there's no guarantee they'll live to the next chapter, but you still do. Some deaths are foreshadowed for entire chapters, while others happen entirely out of the blue. But regardless, each serves a purpose, and each is genuinely upsetting. Art: It's good. The sketchiness kind of reminds me of Jujutsu. Though, there are some scenes where it is hard to tell who is who due to similar faces but it's not too bad, so that's about it. I liked the art.

What makes CSM literally horrendous apart from the fandom is the storyline itself. And that's where the cliches start as well. Devils? yeah they exist. Devil slaying organisations? Yeah they exist. OP unkillable main character fused with an all powerful being? Yeah .. SO what is different or unique about it? Literally the fact that the MC is a pervert who is motivated by female anatomy and wants to live a normal life? Ah no, done a lot of times and the execution done in this was one was particularly bland EDIT: Chainsaw Man is really intense, and not for everyone. This manga features child neglect/abuse, gore, vomiting, grooming/psychological manipulation, and pedophilia. If any of that is upsetting for you, tread carefully!

even after completion, i still don’t know if chainsaw man deserves the hype it’s currently receiving. there were certainly parts i enjoyed, others i was baffled by, more that i was rolling my eyes at. for all the talk about interesting characters, i only found two or three compelling enough to root for. With less than 1,000 members and only one other review at the time of posting this, I thought I should write this so that more people will hopefully read it. This is my first review by the way!The characters are a disaster. At least in my opinion, not a single one was likeable or left a positive impression. Two characters were bearable, Kishibe and Quanxi. At its core, CSM is an action manga, but the fights are weak. They are over way too fast, every single one of them boiled down to having a one-shot kill conclusion. That is The adult jokes in short are this "puking on each other" and "not cleaning your toilet" after taking a dump... really messy, it was hard to tell what was what. But other than that, important moments are done well.

I just wish the action would feel more impactful and engaging, but it follows the same formula every single time. Humans are mostly red shirts and the whole power dynamic between devils is convoluted. But who cares, because Denji only has to rev up his chainsaw and the mind-numbing slaughter can commence. Story - 8: The story is the embodiment of crazy, and has a deep underlying goal to it. As well as being straight-up depressing at times. To finish this off, I want to say that Chainsaw Man is good as hell. It's a smart manga that is gory, painful, frequently hilarious, and will make you feel despair like you've never felt before. But beyond the blood, guts, gore, and sex, Chainsaw Man is at its core a story about trauma, chasing your dreams, personal growth, and the connections you make with other people (for better or for worse). I wouldn't go so far as to call it a deconstruction, but if you're a shonen fan who's become a bit disillusioned with the genre, Chainsaw Man is a breath of fresh air. (Especially since as of December 14, 2020, when this review is being posted, the announcement for an anime AND a "part two" of the manga just dropped a few days ago. And part 2... oh boy howdy does it look good!) Power is very unique in my eyes, because, yes, she's really cute and funny, but she's also an absolute moron. That's not very common in anime and manga, for female characters to just be stupid! Usually, a dumb female character is a cutesy airhead whose obliviousness is played for laughs and/or ecchi scenes. But Power is just as much of a jerk as Denji, if not more. They get up to antics together, prank their housemate Aki, riff off each other, and generally have an incredibly strong dynamic. As a female anime fan, it's really, really refreshing to see a female character whose gender doesn't limit her personality traits to only 'cutesy' feminine stuff! It's also really refreshing to see a 100% platonic dynamic between her and Denji. (Power is also a very compelling character herself, which I won't get into because Spoilers.) An anime about a guy who turns into a literal living chainsaw? Um, hell yeah–sign us up. If you’ve been on board with Chainsaw Man manga for a long time, news of this collection is probably the best thing you’ve ever read–well, aside from the actual Chainsaw Man manga, duh.The story and worldbuilding are so incredibly weak. The mangaka pushes you straight into action and from that point on you're in a rollercoaster that's only going hard downwards with no rest, meaning that there's no time to rest and therefore no time to enjoy the hype (no light without darkness yknow). Given the screwup in storyline, the work overall is subpar and I can't recommend it. A decent idea would be to read first 81 chapters and stop, but you'll be definitely be tempted to see what lies ahead, only to discover mess and a major letdown. At least that's how it works for me.
