A bleek and depressing world filled with bleek and depressing people. I enjoyed it however please read this with caution. At every turn the characters are being maimed, abuse is rampant and the cold weather adds to this desolate world's complex atmosphere.
I just CANT with this book. It's just too horrible, trigger warnings all around.
HERE are just a few warnings; INCEST, RAPE, CANNIBALISM, PEDOPHILIA...
I am not sure how I even got through the entire volume. Knowing this is just the first volume in a string of volumes, I am 100% sure I won't be able to finish the series. The decent aspects of the story line gets so muddled by all of the grotesque events that I can't begin to enjoy it. This has to be one of the most cringe inducing books I have read in a long while.
I would not recommend this to anyone with problems with any of the themes above or who is a more sensitive reader. I can read gore, pain and angst but this was too much even for me. I understand the themes of humanity being at it's worst. The idea of extreme depravity runs rampant, but it's too prevalent for me to actually enjoy anything.
So done with this manga, just can't handle it...

To be honest, I don’t know what I got myself into when I started this. Chainsaw Man brought me here, and I’m still processing what I really got out of reading this first volume. It’s waaaay different than I thought.
From the first chapter, what I can say is that the author really knows how to reel his readers into the story. It piqued my interest and kept me engaged. However, I couldn’t stop wincing reading through all that. It was too dark and I wasn’t prepared for it. It’s the definition of fucked up. Despite saying this though, I’m still curious about what happens next.
