Chainsaw Man

by Tatsuki Fujimoto

Denji is a broke, starving teenager who merges with his pet devil Pochita to become Chainsaw Man — a devil-human hybrid with chainsaws for a head and arms. Recruited by the Public Safety Division, he hunts devils in exchange for the simple pleasures he's never had: food, shelter, and maybe a girlfriend. Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga is violent, funny, and deeply strange.
