I didn't mind parts of it, but Denji's gotta' chill. It was a 50%50 on who liked it and who didn't.

I watched the anime prior to reading this and I loved it so I knew I’d love the manga. It’s the first manga I’ve read. I need to finish the series!

A Devil Hunter named Denji has a cute pet Devil Dog called Pochita who have a chainsaw through his belly. Denji doesn't have much in life and wants to live his life once his father's debt is paid off.

Denji gets killed and Ponchita fulfils his wish.... to become one.

Ponchita puts Denji back together using himself. So Denji becomes part Devil that turns into a Chainsaw Man when he turns into a Devil, i.e. when he's hunting Devils.

His main goal is now to touch some boob
