5.0

A mix-mash of gory violence, slapstick humor with all the bizarreness you could never expect. It's quite challenging with a number of triggering content and over-the-top violence but if you're willing to venture through it you will find its tiny little beating heart. At its core Chainsaw Man is, in a way, a story about a boy's searching for a way to survive the world -- and love.

Primo volume interessante, sicuramente andrò avanti con la storia. 
I disegni sono fenomenali, specialmente le pagine dedicate ad una singola scena. 
I personaggi non mi hanno convinto al 100% perché per il momento mi sembrano abbastanza piatti, ma spero che nei prossimi fumetti della serie mi ricrederò.

What a frenetic and action-packed beginning! The Muscle Devil scene gave a nice parallel to Denji and Pochita’s situation, so I’m a bit sad it was not included in the anime. However, I think I liked the pacing of the anime more, since there’s always a lot going on in the manga.

2.0

Truly do not understand the hype. The action is fun, the art and visuals are cool, Denji’s (the protagonist) chainsaw devil design is amazing, but the story, character interactions, and vibe are not only lackluster, but often downright bad. I was on board with the first chapter, but when Denji’s new boss started treating him like a dog in a really bizarre, not-so-vaguely sexual, manner, it lost me. The story only got worse from there when Denji decided that his entire goal in life is… boobs. I get that he’s a horny teenager, but this is not a good, nor interesting, motivation for a protagonist. The only reason I gave it two stars was for the stunning visuals and the art direction. I will not be reading further, and I suggest that you don’t waste your time with it.
