I have a long time without reading a shonen, but I am curious, what makes this special?

If you don't get it by the end of chapter one you aren't going to get it at all.
Jaxson Morales
the MC is a legitimate dumb ass, not secretly a genius 100% dummy
Adrian Miller
as with most edgy shit that kids like, characters die
Charles Reyes
Having deaths doesn't make things edgy
Zachary Moore
It's a gag manga masquerading as a battle shonen. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but doesn't edge the line of self-parody like others do.
Ryder Phillips
The play he made in the last chapter was kinda smart
Josiah Peterson
Similar to how Fujimoto's previous work, Fire Punch, basically kept sideswiping various popular plot points and structures in revenge-centric seinen stories, Chainsawman does similar sidewipes with facets found in Battle Shounen.
Nicholas Fisher
I enjoy how the main character being stupid is portrayed as kind of pitiable.
Jayden Hall
VIZ devil where
Jeremiah Moore
Anime when?
Christopher Harris
For me it's simply cool. I love the designs and the world Fujimoto built. I hope it doesn't scale up horribly over time like most shonens do.
Gabriel Moore
What are you even trying to say?
Elijah Lee
Fujimoto makes subversive wank but it's really entertaining in its subversion because instead of trying to be pretentious it just becomes consistently stupider without any attempts at pretending it's not fucking stupid.
Levi Ortiz
It's not very good, even by shonen standards. But it has sex and violence so it's sure to be a hit with the Yea Forums mouthbreathers.
A big downgrade from Fire Punch, which is to be expected.
Logan Ramirez
It's funny and fast.
Jayden Carter
>it has sex
Where
Christian Wilson
When put in that context, it means it contains sexual scenes, not necessarily penis in vagina.
Also it's not as if I dislike having sexual themes in manga, it's just that it's pretty clumsily done in Chainsaw Man.
Chase Cooper
It was well liked before anyone died. It's just a funny manga with likeable characters and really goofy but enjoyable action sequences. It's nothing revolutionary, it's just highly enjoyable.
Mason Bailey
How so?
Sebastian Garcia
It's like a sitcom.
Lucas Barnes
How so?
Lucas Rogers
Replace the characters with american down on their luck friends trying to make it big in the city and Chainsaw Man is a sitcom with shonen stuff.
Kayden Nelson
Smartest girl ever.
Nathaniel Miller

Most likely because of her cat Meowy.

The only reason of why they should be together if so they can't bother the decent people.

No.

Of course. Power is the brains of the duo.

You see ooc Aki, I see the crumbling dreams of Himeno.

The future sucks fag.

Is this a reference to the world tree from the end of Fire Punch?

They are doing everything they can to make him quit voluntary aren't they?
Liam Ross
Those things won't scare the Aki away, you have to offer him years of life. Now that's scary.
Mason Long
Shock value + weird cast. That's it.
The plot sucks, the art is lazy and the pacing is terrible for a weekly format.
Isaac Hill
I know he won't back down, but this is like some ironic punishment for refusing to quit.
Mason White
the joke earlier was that it must like suffering. and since he always suffers it'd make him immortal to ensure he lives with his mistakes and suffers forever.
Ryan Evans
I want to see that happening, he won’t care if it’s something else.
Elijah Myers
Those are the contracts for the other people, it seems to me that the only reason they mentioned how harsh they are it's to make the impact of Mirai being retarded bigger. Aki will probably get away with stupid shit which will still cause annoyance and suffering anyway
Christian Thomas
Oldschool edgy shonen.
Jack Martinez
This. Power is the perfect foil for Denji - Mensa level IQ to pair with his sub 50 IQ.
Caleb Cruz
I guess, but asking someone with no future to make a contract with the future devil and mentioned to someone who has 2 years left that in theory he could half it seems like something deliberate to make him quit
Cooper Rodriguez
So a lot of the devils real bodies seem to be roughly humanoid in shape.
I wonder if the Snake devil and Fox devil's physical forms are humanoid as well rather than the giant spirit forms that are summoned.

This week Fujimoto admits why he only ever talks about food.
Is this by the Jigokuraku author?
Gavin Turner
totally radical mirai-kun~
Michael Adams
I prefer "Future [the name of the Devil] is the best!" but "The future rules!" ain't half bad at all.
David Rivera
I bet he will be useless as fuck and just freeload at Aki's house
Andrew Watson
Relation between Male/female MC. It is cute,
Eli Barnes
No, but the Jigokuraku writer was Fujimoto's assistant on Fire Punch so they have a similar mindset.
David Carter
'The Future is Best' carries some subtly sinister implications that the other two kind of lose in my opinion.
Jaxson Brown
>main character genuinely feels like a teenager
>MC is also a self-centered dumbass which feels refreshing. the author doesn't try to make him moral
>some good action
>violence without melodrama, there's maybe two or three serious bits in the manga so far and they were well done
>likeable characters
Well that's what drew me in at least
Luke Harris
>inb4 Gun Devil was merely fighting full power Pochita when he nuked cities around the world and it was just a collaterial damage
How would Aki react if he will learn that Denji's heart is responsible for his family's death?
Easton Rogers
Its just overall fun.
Its not generic, it has its hard hitting emotional moments, its knows how to give just enough info to make you want to know more, the paneling is fantastic, and it is very funny.
Hunter Price
>series end with Aki fucking murdering Denji.
I won't even be mad.
Isaiah Rodriguez
Somebody needs to fix the hair in this pic
Henry Evans
Isaac Wilson
I meant the artwork you posted, the style is similar so I assume it's by him.
More Kobeni when?
Wyatt Foster
It's a formularic shonen but fresh in all aspects.
Hunter Green
In that case I agree, it looks very much like his style.
Ryder Edwards
>replace everything with something else and it becomes another thing
woah
Xavier Mitchell
...
Isaac Wood
Xavier Price
I prefer "THE FUTURE IS GREAT"
Jacob Richardson
>It's a formularic shonen
Joseph Hall
It's a comfy manga that appeals to oldfags and the likes. Zoomers would just call it edgy shit because they're literal retards.
Caleb Diaz
>demon possessing a corpse
>corpse still needs to shit
I don't get it.
Jack White
