Ill definitely read the one-shots. Might get the physical of Goodbye, Eri when it releases actually. Im less sure about Fire Punch, everything Ive heard makes it sound a bit too edgelord in a way Chainsaw Man always manages to avoid. I saw the Star Wars page though and that was pretty great.

And yeah the haters are wild. In particular the complaint of the anime using a live action cinematic style which is just like this whole series is drawing its aesthetic and storytelling style from live-action movies, come on. It is not subtle about these influences! Also I was looking at some old discussion threads on the subreddit and since the series exploded in popularity the number of 1s each chapter gets in the polls has increased, implying that there are people just rating every chapter as a 1/5. Its honestly quite pathetic and a lot of anime fandom never got past the console war mindset.

That's funny, I'm in the same exact boat as you. Haven't watched anime in years, have never even read a manga in my life but I randomly just read CSM bored at work and I'm in love now. It's definitely remarkable and I'm all aboard the CSM train. I have been enjoying part 2 as well because I have seen some distaste for it online but I think people forget the first arc also started pretty slow.

Part 2 is great! I love how Denji is basically no longer the lead protagonist, and Asa manages to be even better. She feels more relatable and stands more on her own while Denji really needs other characters with him to shine.

It's amazing yeah. Funnily enough I followed along when it first debuted but dropped it after a little bit cause I couldn't really get behind horny all the time Denji. My friends then got me to read it again with the anime coming out so I caught up before it started and yeah...dropped it just before it picked up and got crazy good haha.

What they do with how horny Denji is actually manages to justify it which is quite incredible!

Actually that reminds me of another thing that I forgot to mention. Unlike a lot of other shonen Ive seen Chainsaw Man has humour that is actually funny. Ive laughed multiple times which is fairly rare for reading anything.
