“Chainsaw Man” is a manga that was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2019 to 2021. It is one of the most popular manga currently in the spotlight, with a second part to be serialized in Shonen Jump+ and an anime adaptation in the works.
Why is “Chainsaw Man” so popular? Some people have negative opinions about it, such as that it is boring and uninteresting. But why do they feel that way? In this article, we will explain why “Chainsaw Man” is so popular.
Storyline
One of the reasons for the popularity of Chainsaw Man is its unpredictable storyline. In the world of Chainsaw Man, there is a globally feared demon called the “gun demon.” This demon is a brutal demon that can kill 1.2 million people in just five minutes when it appears on the continent. Although it is such a vicious entity, what it looks like and how it attacks are shrouded in mystery.
Denji, the main character of Chainsaw Man, belongs to the Public Security Retribution Specific Section 4, and is asked by Makima, the leader of the section, to “defeat the gun demon.” For Aki Hayakawa, who belongs to the same section as Denji, the gun demon is also her revenge. However, the reader’s expectations were betrayed, and the last boss was actually another character.
The story repeatedly betrays the reader’s expectations in a good way, and perhaps that is the charm of the story.
The tempo of the story is also good
One of the reasons for the popularity of Chainsaw Man is the speed of the story. The fast-paced storyline is what keeps readers hooked. The flashy action and outlandish storyline are also easily accepted overseas, which is probably the reason why “Chainsaw Man” is so popular.
The author’s drawing ability is high
The author of “Chainsaw Man”, Mr. Tatsuki Fujimoto, has a high level of drawing ability, and his artwork may be attractive to overseas fans as well.
One of the best things about the book is how it uses facial expressions instead of words to show scenes.
