Chainsaw Man

Tatsuki Fujimoto's Chainsaw Man (2020–2021, Kazé) is a visceral, darkly comedic shonen manga that follows Denji, a young man fused with a chainsaw devil, as he joins a government agency to hunt devils in a world where fear gives monsters power. Published in Weekly Shonen Jump, the series became a defining hit of the early 2020s for its breakneck pacing, shocking twists, and raw emotional depth, all anchored by Fujimoto's singular, unpredictable storytelling. This 11-issue first part is essential for its uncompromising vision, blending horror, action, and pathos into a story that redefined the genre's boundaries.
