Chainsaw Man is a dark fantasy, action-packed anime based on the manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto. It is known for its brutal battles, emotional storytelling, and psychological depth.
The story follows Denji, a poor young man trying to survive in a world infested by devils. Burdened by a massive debt left by his deceased father, Denji works as a devil hunter to repay it. His only companion is Pochita, a small, chainsaw-like devil who helps him in his hunting. Denji dreams of living a simple life: eating good food, having a roof over his head, and experiencing love.
However, Denji’s life takes a brutal turn when he is betrayed and killed. In a shocking twist, Pochita sacrifices himself to save Denji, merging with him and turning him into a human-devil hybrid – the titular Chainsaw Man. With chainsaws sprouting from his arms and head, Denji becomes an incredibly powerful devil hunter.
After his transformation, Denji is recruited by the Public Safety Devil Hunters, a government organization that combats devil threats. He is introduced to a new world filled with dangerous devils, strange allies, and mysterious enemies. He works under Makima, a calm and manipulative superior who sees potential in Denji—but her true intentions remain unclear.
