Sufrí bastante con este volumen, toda la vida de Asa es muy triste, principalmente la parte del gatito. También me gustó ver que Denji finge demencia pero realmente quedó muy traumado por todo lo que sucedió, y eso lo hace un personaje mucho más complejo de lo que es. Estoy intrigada porque realmente no se para dónde va a salir esta historia.
Pd: Yoshida me estaba empezando a gustar y en este volumen me cayó mal… puede cambiar en el futuro.

Interpretations of Carnival present it as a social institution that degrades or "uncrowns" the higher functions of thought, speech, and the soul by translating them into the grotesque body, which serves to renew society and the world, as a release for impulses that threaten the social order that ultimately reinforces social norms, as a social transformation, or as a tool for different groups to focus attention on conflicts and incongruities by embodying them in "senseless" acts.
Furthermore, some cultures use Carnival as a method of empowering themselves in spite of social conflicts. For example, when the Caribbean Carnival was established as a result of French settlers, even the slaves had their version of the masquerade, where they would reverse roles to mock those of higher social status. Along with empowering individuals for a period of time, despite their typical status, Carnival brings communities together. In a day where all are meant to perform a "mask" that differs from their typical identity, all members of a society are able to connect through their theatricality and satire.
Mircea Eliade, historian of religions, writes: "Any new year is a revival of time at its beginning, a repetition of the cosmogony. Ritual fights between two groups of extras, the presence of the dead, Saturnalia and orgies, are all elements which indicate that at the end of the year and in the expectation of the new year the mythical moments of the passage of chaos to the cosmogony are repeated". Eliade also writes: "Then the dead will come back, because all barriers between the dead and the living are broken (is the primordial chaos not revived?), and will come back since – at this paradoxical moment – time will be interrupted, so that the dead may be again contemporaries of the living." Eliade speculates that people have "a deep need to regenerate themselves periodically by abolishing the elapsed time and making topical the cosmogony". As regards masks (monsters, animals, demons), he assigns them an apotropaic meaning.

I have missed Chainsaw Man SO MUCH. It's been painful to wait for the volumes to be available in English and on Libby.
This one was so much fun! The art is incredible, as always, and the characters are so compelling and also silly.I love Asa, she's grown on me so much, and Denji being Denji is always such a... pleasure, lmao.
I love the way he can have these empathetic, insightful moments, and then say something so out of place. Case in point, when he's relating to Asa about being lonely and life being shitty, something he's very familiar with:
"-'You know life isn't all bad... But day in and day out, all you can remember is the bad stuff... and the disasters keep pilin' up like a hamburger made of crap, right?'
-'How did you get over that, Chainsaw Man?'
-'I haven't! I'm not over it! Only... I've got something to live for! Something I look forward to so much that I'm willing to eat that crapburger!'
-'What's that?'
-'I wanna have sex!! Sex!'"
I mean... HAHAHAHAHA. It's impossible not to like this guy.
The humor almost always hits for me in this manga and the comedic timing of things is very well done.
