Is this series actually any good, or just edgy garbage that got popular with teenagers?

Same, I tried to read it because of all the hype around it but it didn't interest me at all and I ended up dropping it at around ch30

As a manga reader of this series who has read this series over and over again countless times, I can say to you without a doubt Chainsaw Man deserves the praise and hype. While it may seem very shallow on the surface, once you delve into it there are many deep and philosophical themes throughout the story. Denji isn't just "horny = funny" there is legitimate depth to his character and he is challenged numerous times on what he values. Chainsaw Man is my all time favorite manga not because of its more "edgy" style but because it is genuinely an extremely thought provoking, in-depth series that rightfully deserves all the hype surrounding it. If you still don't believe me, read at least a couple of chapters for yourself. You might enjoy it a ton or you might not. Either way I hoped this help :)

and Denji… is there ACTUALLY any depth here? i’m not even joking when i say that i’ve never heard anyone talk about why they like him aside from the idea that “oh he’s horny and it’s funny” or “he wants to touch boobs!” i’ve seen plenty of people criticize characters like Luffy or Gon because they’re “simple” but all the praise I see for Denji is solely because horny = funny.

The hype is certainly about the edge. But at the same time, the story does have three very interesting characters.

Aki Hayakawa, who is easily the best of the show.

Denji, who isn't complex on his own, but it's his worldview that's complex and beautiful.

And Makima is interesting, but definitely the weakest of these three.

The other characters are supposed to have backstories and depth, but most are either too simplistic and unmemorable, and others are exposed so badly that it does not feel good to read anyways.

The story is pretty simple. Has some plot twists, but most of them are expected. Only one actually gives a minor shock and brings a lot of stuff into focus. Otherwise it seems that they have a lot of lore to explain, but explain none of it. It's handled a bit poorly.

However, it certainly is pretty unique and worth a read. Some of the fight scenes I still remember pretty well. And judging by the production news, the anime is in a very good state and might look phenomenal.

a combination of both honestly. there are some elements that make it more than just pure gore and edginess but i’ll be honest with you, a majority of the appeal the series has to offer is just gore and edginess. there’s like a 20 chapter stretch during the last third of part 1 that is actually really good in terms in storytelling… but other than that it’s pretty much just gore, nudity, edgy humor, etc. with some things sprinkled here and there that make it a somewhat sustainable story.

i think it’s pretty good if you don’t expect too much. the art is unique and looks good, the characters are likeable, and the story isn’t that good but it’s enough to hold things together while other aspects make it rather enjoyable.

based on what you said you heard about the series that’s all satirical nonsense that people spam cause it’s kinda a meme in the community. just read some mal reviews for more info i don’t really wanna get into it rn.

one thing though about denji you said that he has no depth which is half-right. it’s true that denji never really changes throughout part 1 (part 2 will have that), however denji’s entire life is fucked up beyond compare. everything: his childhood to his public safety life, nothing goes his way. by the end it’s actually crazy how much shit he went through. which is why i say part 2 will have development most likely dealing with severe trauma that came from part 1.

highly recommend this series it’s really really unique and fresh

it's praised for basically innovating shonen. a lot of shonen nowadays is cookie cutter by the books type shit (mha, bc, kny). and csm changes that by having gore, quirky characters (for shonen), and adding some mature themes pretty early on in the story after denji gets his hands on his "dream". the plot is very well written and engages readers by adding some real problems with teens to the mc. how horniness can distract you from what you really want in life and the importance of relationships. there also isn't an established goal that the mc has to achieve like many shonen either, which leaves you guessing where the plot will go next and not making it predictable. for the last thing that i can think from the top of my head that elevates the story for me, there's a twist villain that is written incredibly well in csm and they are shown to be dangerous and powerful from the very beginning.

tl;dr - quirky characters, gore, mature themes, twist villain, and a great, engaging plot.

The Makima dogs are personally annoying to me too. But if we're gonna talk about the greatness of the show, its gonna be very unavoidable to talk about spoiler territory. Also I have observed that a handful of people really did not enjoy Chainsaw Man as much as the hype hopes them. I think this is mainly because Chainsaw Man is more akin to a deconstruction of the shounen formula, mainly about the protagonists. Now that doesn't mean that it doesn't stand its own ground in its storytelling but I'm saying a big part of hype comes down to the "not like other shounen" demographic. Also this story is very fast as fuck. I kinda got lost halfway and had to reread it just to follow through properly. Well since it's gonna be an anime, that is not much of an issue. If you want to know about Denji, the main lead, the thing that is interesting about him is that he has a very childish outlook while living in such a grim world. What I mean by that is that he is deprived of so much since he was a kid that all he ever dreamt about are eating good food for breakfast and having a girlfriend. When he is given a chance to do anything in exchange for a task, he chose being able to touch a girls breasts. The thing is though he felt empty after achieving those things. Like there is still something missing. The whole story becomes about having intimate connections and relations after a certain arc. If I say more, I'm gonna be spoiling so much good shit from the manga. Just the story is about a child in a teen's body deprived of any common human emotion except the desire for happiness. And if your wandering about Makima, she will serve as the object of Denji's dreams around the first half but will become Denji's foil of sorts to Denji.

Denji is obviously a new take on protagonist...but I am not very fond of it...but there is room for his development as a character as series move forward.....other than that only character I will say is great aki and power....But for me personally aki...he is the best character that series had to offer..and
If you talking about hype it's all makima simp.

Best description I can give of the series is that imagine a b-grade horror gore fest with genuinely well-written characters and plot. That’s kinda how Chainsaw Man is. It fully leans into its absurdity which really sells the world and the characters and adds so much depth to everything. It has a very unique feel and rawness to it that’s very captivating and engaging and entertaining. It seems a lot of the stuff you’ve heard about it is the more meme side of the community that likes to joke about those elements of the series. In regards to Denji he is a very unique protagonist and kinda hard to talk about why he is so great without spoiling the series. But, essentially his “goal” may seem superficial and dumb but it’s the self-reflection of his life and experiences and his desires that make his self-actualisation towards the end of the series such a great moment and Denji more than just a horny teenage protag. Although when speaking of characters Aki is by far the best written. So to answer you question… yes Chainsaw man is more than just the gore and edginess and is genuinely really good.

The reason why I like it is because of how crazy everything can get some times and that it kills off characters that you wouldn’t expect to die, and it’s not really a fetish manga it’s mainly just battles against devils and build up to those battles(most of it is extremely fast paced so some characters lack development but other than that it’s great). Also Denji is a good character because he starts off as pretty much a slave so he doesn’t really know what a normal life is and you get to see him grow into a functional, non-groping human.

I actually first read CSM back in 2019 when nobody talked about it period, I read the first 2 chapters and got bored of it. Fast forward to today and it has exploded in populaity without an anime. It's most likely due to what you said OP, it has hot/eccentric waifus with a simple MC that the readers can instantly relate to with the " I just want to feel tits" motto.

Despite this I still look forward to the anime. ( Mainly for the R18 art that will come from it lul )

Though I do not look forward to the toxic fanbase, because it's already rampant now without its anime

Chainsaw man is to battle shounen mangas what Deadpool is to superhero movies. It is a violent, sexual manga with tons of dark humour and innuendos. It's also full of movies references that movie nerds like me will enjoy. If you like shit like that than you are gonna love Chainsaw man otherwise you won't.

As for the story itself, the manga has a pretty good story with decent character development for all the main characters. One thing the manga has going for it is the unpredictability of its storyline. The manga managed to catch me off-guard with its twists multiple times throughout its run time.

Now for the main character, Denji is actually a really good protagonist. He is completely different from your normal shounen protagonist because unlike most shounen protagonist he doesn't really have some ambitious goal. When we first meet him he is at the lowest point in his life and just wants a chance to have a normal life. He just wants a place to sleep, a partner to fall in love with and some food to eat. Throughout the course of the manga Denji discovers what loving someone and being loved truly mean. He experiences what it's like to have a family and people who truly cares for you. Denji also has his regrets that he keeps locked inside of him.The entire manga is Denji navigating through his bizzare life and trying to find a separate identity and a sense of purpose for himself, something that separates him from the titular Chainsaw Man. He goes from a lot of high's to a lot of low's in his life and eventually does find a purpose at the end of the manga.

Denji's character has a lot of depth that some people ignore just because his characterisation is not something that you usually view in battle shounens.

The story and characters of chainsaw man is really well written

On the surface level Denji seems like a very shallow character but as you read the manga you realize how deep and complex denji is. Certain events and aspects of his life shaped him into the person he is and influences the actions and goals he has

A lot of the weirder things within chainsaw man make sense or add in some way to the series but sound hella weird out of context but makes totally sense within context

The world within chainsaw man has an interesting power system. The series has a distinct atmosphere and the world building is interesting

common wvm L. i watched all of black clover and gave it an 8 because it's a good adapter which means it copies what a lot of the big named shonen do but does them well, chainsaw man is an innovator for shonen. if we're being completely honest here chainsaw man is way better than black clover and not just in storytelling as you'll see when the anime comes out. demon slayer is also a good adapter but the characters are annoying as hell and it's not great from a storytelling perspective either. the only thing going for it is the anime adaptation because ufotable is goated. id say jujutsu kaisen is in the same league as chainsaw man only because it's had more chapters released and fleshed out their characters more compared to what csm did with its 97 chapters in part 1

Yeah agree that CSM > BC,KNY >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mid Hero Academia cause it has its own original story very much mature story and BC has a story inspired from the BIG 3 NOTHING NEW but actually a really INTERESTING STORY does them REALLY WELL and KNY has a got a good story not that superior but the way they presented the story the fights , the characters, the animation has made it better

let me be honest , the pace is fast , and i like fast pacing , so it felt awesome reading csm , and the mc is not u know highly overpowrred shonen with a lot of plot armor , it actually makes u think more before death scenes, i kept doubting abt this/tgat chara if they die/live and the smoothness between arcs is what i loved most abt csm , it's like even after 50 chapters u remember everything from the start, not so many plot holes and good explanation, and plot twists are awesome af , u never know what will happen in next chapter in every chapter , loved it , 10/10 for the manga from my side🐦👍🏼

The artstyle of the manga is pretty unique and awesome.
The story is not as great as everyone says. Think that is a huge weakness.

On the other hand the characters have huge potential and most of them following no rules...
Think that the Anime could get a hit, but mostly because of it's characters - like Jujutsu Kaisen...

Not everything is meant for everyone. If you don't like it, you won't like it, end of story. People will hype, people will enjoy, people will have fun and it will become part of their life. If you find that uncomfortable, then stay away and don't try to force yourself to do anything just to then ruin your own enjoyment, at least for now. Because I feel like this is some psychological sh*t about someone wanting to go against the crowd and I have a better idea, just, stay away from the crowd. Because that's what I would do if I were you (which I did). Last but not least, I'm not saying this specificly to the OP but all of you "haters".

BC is on a better league don't know how much you watched but its really great

and KNY it's story lags behind but the CHARACTERS and especially the ANIMATION and the FIGHTS are so great that I don't think other ANIME can easily surpass those two things

JJK totally outsmart CSM as the better modern story

Yes Mha is garbage only thing I can agree with you

common wvm L. i watched all of black clover and gave it an 8 because it's a good adapter which means it copies what a lot of the big named shonen do but does them well, chainsaw man is an innovator for shonen. if we're being completely honest here chainsaw man is way better than black clover and not just in storytelling as you'll see when the anime comes out. demon slayer is also a good adapter but the characters are annoying as hell and it's not great from a storytelling perspective either. the only thing going for it is the anime adaptation because ufotable is goated. id say jujutsu kaisen is in the same league as chainsaw man only because it's had more chapters released and fleshed out their characters more compared to what csm did with its 97 chapters in part 1

I don't think Demon Slayer characters are annoying what are you talking dude

it's praised for basically innovating shonen. a lot of shonen nowadays is cookie cutter by the books type shit (mha, bc, kny). and csm changes that by having gore, quirky characters (for shonen), and adding some mature themes pretty early on in the story after denji gets his hands on his "dream". the plot is very well written and engages readers by adding some real problems with teens to the mc. how horniness can distract you from what you really want in life and the importance of relationships. there also isn't an established goal that the mc has to achieve like many shonen either, which leaves you guessing where the plot will go next and not making it predictable. for the last thing that i can think from the top of my head that elevates the story for me, there's a twist villain that is written incredibly well in csm and they are shown to be dangerous and powerful from the very beginning.

tl;dr - quirky characters, gore, mature themes, twist villain, and a great, engaging plot.

If kny is book cutter than what is jjk....Is any thing jjk done on its own characters are copy from Naruto concept is copy from bleach...even arcs are copy from Naruto like maki arc is just straight up Itachi arc

If I have to choose from garbage and good I’d choose garbage but you should try it for yourself

Is this series actually any good, or just edgy garbage that got popular with teenagers?
