Chainsaw Man

Chainsaw Man is a dark fantasy anime that mixes brutal action, horror, and dark comedy with raw emotional storytelling. The series follows Denji, a poor and desperate young man burdened by his father’s debt, whose life changes after merging with his pet devil Pochita, becoming the Chainsaw Man—a human-devil hybrid with chainsaws for limbs.

Denji is recruited by the Public Safety Devil Hunters and works under the enigmatic Makima, fighting terrifying devils that threaten humanity.
