Chainsaw Man
Synopsis
The story
Denji is a teenage boy living with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. Due to the debt his father left behind, he has been living a rock-bottom life while repaying his debt by harvesting devil corpses with Pochita. One day, Denji is betrayed and killed. As his consciousness fades, he makes a contract with Pochita and gets revived as "Chainsaw Man" — a man with a devil's heart.

Chainsaw Man is incredibly mediocre and over-hyped

A great adaptation of a chaotically amazing story, even if some things inevitably get lost in transition.
