Chainsaw Man: How “Quality” Is The Recent Blockbuster That Has Made The Community Crazy

The manga opens with a modern world where there are demons from hell. And of course, there are also organizations that are set up against them. Denji – a boy orphaned parents and is paying a huge debt, once merged with a small saw demon, and joined the anti-demon organization. Where will this journey go? What awaits you there?

A thrilling, engaging storyline!

With a direction that is not too different compared to other Shounen series, Chainsaw Man really did a good job in turning that mediocre plot into his big plus.

In the first chapters, we are introduced to Denji – the main character as well as his journey to participate in this fantasy world full of blood and tears. The author has had a very minimalistic start in building the character as well as bringing us into the main storyline, but also providing enough information about Denji’s personality, past, and himself.

Following a fairly good start is a stable and extremely engaging storyline. How do you think a typical Shounen series would have the content implemented? The characters meet, team up and fight each villain, unlocking the final mystery? Somewhere in between is a training course. Chainsaw Man follows a motif… exactly the same.

In this Manga, there is still the same path, but the speed is accelerated quite fast, with the effects from the battles drawn very … blood and tangled, so either you lose focus and do not understand what is going on. happens, or you really get caught up in that pace. Not only that, but the unique point in exploiting from the available demon world, Chainsaw Man opens up an infinite variety of demons, fighting methods and the mystery that lasts in the story makes it even more interesting. You can’t take your eyes off the screen!

The more you pull back to the following chapters, the more interesting the richness of the content and the mystery becomes, creating an atmosphere full of worries, pain and suspense for readers. And not 100% of the story time is so tense, the gentle events alternate to balance the atmosphere, you will not feel too stuffy. Sometimes it will be a little funny, sometimes stimulating, romantic. All of these factors combine to give you an experience well worth your time.

Impressive and characteristic cast of characters

Denji is the main character of the series, but he is not the only one. We have Power, which is roughly understood as a much cooler and funnier version of Sakura with Naruto. We have Aki, the less young but more daring and determined version of Sasuke. The key characters are depicted with depth, as well as their distinct personalities, and leave a strong impression on readers.

Not only the main trio, other supporting characters are equally elaborate, from the mysterious mature Makima, to the blindfolded sister, or the cool old man with stitches in his mouth that I trotted. forgot the name. All of them are built with an extremely unique and distinctive personality, and are shown through dialogues that are very suitable for specific situations in particular and the storyline in general.

However, pushing the pace of the story up, along with the distribution of content is not really reasonable, has led to many unnecessary minus points. It can be mentioned that the relationship between the characters develops too quickly, and lacks conviction, as well as the lack of specific impact of many characters on the story.

A lot of the characters are well portrayed, but their influence is extremely limited, and even die indifferently. Yes, I’m talking about a lot of characters like that, good personalities but the story lacks focus. Even with the main characters, their motivations are there, although closely linked and influenced by their actions, but have not been explored deeply enough for the reader to empathize.

Maybe that’s why, Power, a demon girl who doesn’t need to dig too much into depth, doesn’t need sympathy or understanding, but with her sassy personality as the highlight is always at the top, and a beautiful Makima , the mystery still has many twists and turns, ranked second.

Eye-catching action scenes

Denji’s slashing scenes, or demons tearing each other apart, have never disappointed readers. With the ability to create many kinds of demons from the author, making the confrontation more attractive than ever. Demons don’t have a fixed form at all, and the abilities that the two sides use to fight are not limited to restrictive rules and regulations.

Chainsaw Man is an open world for the author’s imagination, where the action scenes, gore no longer limit, will make those who love Manga with a bit of gore like Berserk, Tokyo Ghoul or Gantz excited. . That is both a plus and a minus of Chainsaw Man. If a fighting manga isn’t tied to any kind of content, that means it’s easy to get entangled in irrationalities, or it’s also quite difficult for the reader to really grasp the logic of the battle. .

Issues may be unconvincingly resolved, or the strengths of the characters may not be apparent, but rather emotional and disproportionate. At the same time, due to the variety, there is nothing special anymore, the characters do not really remind you because of their own abilities, and the author can’t fully exploit this fantasy world.

The drawings are not uniform

I don’t know why, but Chainsaw Man’s drawings are really not that impressive. There will be times when it feels like a top-of-the-line Manga, taken care of in terms of visual quality (which I won’t compare to One Punch Man). But there will also be times when you have to be surprised by the drawings… squiggly, as if you are reading an amateur Manga (which I will not compare with the original One Punch Man).

Not only that, the action scenes are impressive, but with a large number of bloody effects drawn, with pen strokes like sketches (I mean it looks very confusing, or unattractive) sometimes. Lower the value of Chainsaw Man somewhat. Even so, the strange thing is that the heroines are still drawn… extremely beautiful. Every time I look at the image of Power, or Makima, and contrast it with the banana-faced sub-characters who have just been sliced ​​in half, I don’t know what else to say.
