Synopsis
Denji is a young man struggling to pay off the debts left by his father after his death. To do so, he performs jobs and kills demons for the Yakuza. He also relies on the help of his faithful dog, Pochita, a demon dog he rescued. With the animal's chainsaw powers, the two are able to face some very powerful demons. This extraordinary partnership allows Denji not only to fulfill his obligations to the Yakuza but also to survive the supernatural challenges he faces.
Finally, Fujimoto ( Fire Punch ) debuted the Chainsaw Man manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in December 2018 and ended its "first part," the "Kouan" (Public Safety) arc, in December 2020.
