Broke young man + chainsaw demon = Chainsaw Man!

Denji is a destitute young man living a miserable existence, burdened by debt and grief as he works as a small-time devil hunter to pay off his deceased father's overwhelming debts. His only companion is his loyal pet devil, Pochita. Everything changes when Denji is brutally killed during a routine job, only to be revived through an unexpected fusion with Pochita. Emerging as a terrifying yet heroic figure known as Chainsaw Man, Denji now wields the power to transform parts of his body into chainsaws, unleashing a new and formidable force against the devils.

Driven by simple desires and an innate sense of survival, Denji's journey takes a peculiar turn when he is offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the Public Safety Devil Hunters. This organisation, tasked with combating the most dangerous devils, becomes Denji's new battleground. His motivations, however, remain blissfully naive and human. The promise of a better life and, more humourously, the chance to fulfil his adolescent fantasies, becomes his driving force.

In Chainsaw Man, Vol. 2, Denji sets his sights on an outrageous and seemingly trivial goal—to touch a breast. This publicised objective contrasts sharply with the perilous and gruesome reality he faces. His quest for such a simple desire leads him into a deadly confrontation with the Bat Devil, a monstrous antagonist threatening humanity. The stakes are unimaginably high, but Denji's priorities remain both hilariously and painfully human.

As Denji grapples with the monstrous challenges ahead, he begins to question whether attaining his wildest and most trivial desires will truly bring him happiness. Chainsaw Man continues to blend grisly action with dark humour and insightful moments, exploring the essence of human desires and the sacrifices made to achieve them. In this volume, readers will be pulled deeper into the world created by Tatsuki Fujimoto, where the lines between man and monster blur in an adrenaline-fueled narrative.

With its unique blend of horror, action, and humour, Chainsaw Man challenges readers to reflect on the raw and often absurd nature of human aspirations, all amid a backdrop of thrilling and violent devil-hunting escapades. Will Denji find true happiness in this chaotic pursuit, or is he destined to discover that some desires come with a more significant cost?
