This volume of Chainsaw Man is like a Tarantino film on even more cocaine and hard liquor than usual. We got a crazy naked assassin lady detonating bombs made out of her own body parts. A shark typhoon tearing up a city. A deadly revenge romance gone horribly wrong. It felt like one big fever dream with a surprisingly melancholy twist that put a nice spin on an extremely chaotic little story arc.Chainsaw Man, vol. 12] (in Japanese). Shueisha.

Aki also gets a lot of good moments in this one. His new partner is a chronically depressed angel-demon hybrid that absorbs the life force of anyone that touches him. Unsurprisingly, this makes for a very interesting dynamic between them. The story is set in a world where Devils (悪魔, Akuma) are born from human fears. However, individuals called Devil Hunters (デビルハンター, Debiru Hantā) specialize in hunting and employing them. The events take place in 1997, in an alternate timeline where the Soviet Union still exists, and many events such as the Holocaust, AIDS and nuclear weapons have been erased from history due to the consumption of their respective Devils by the Chainsaw Devil, with only four powerful Devils known as the Horsemen (Control, War, Famine/Hunger, and Death) remembering the events. Humans can make contracts with Devils via a sacrifice, allowing them to use the Devil’s power. Devils can also become Fiends by possessing a human’s dead body. When a Devil is killed on Earth, it reappears in Hell, and if it is killed in Hell, it reincarnates in a new body on Earth. Latest Chapters Chainsaw Man, Vol. 8". Viz Media.

Makima continues to be a dark force of nature pulling strings from the shadows. After finally waking up to all the manipulating and mistreatment from all the adults in his life, Denji seems to be turning a new leaf. The tone of the story continues to get darker while still maintaining its absurd trippy comedy. Chainsaw Man, vol. 7] (in Japanese). Shueisha. Archived from the original on October 27, 2020 .
