| Very interesting ngl, though not much really happened in this chapter. I wonder if Denji's going to come to help Asa (because he just got motivated to go be CSM). I also wonder if Nayuta was talking about Yoru's scent or whatever's happening outside with Asa. Hoping the next chapter will be big because it's 14 days away instead of the usual 7. |
 |
Asa is extremely easy to manipulate (just say you like her interest and smile and she will be head over heals for you). |
| Asa is depressed damn and action time? finally! |

O_o also lool what is that ending im so confused I feel like it might be another Zombie devil or like just some devil that controls people's minds or something though it's kinda random ngl |
| |
| Watching Nayuta is just so much damn fun. Poor Asa though. |
 |
| Interesting ending... Asa is really gullible huh |
 |
| Not yoshida blocking them too 😭 And another two week wait 😭😭 Who will this demon be? Someone we already saw before? Looks interesting, two weeks can't pass fast enough! |
 |
| That was quick. Interested in what this Devil is. |
 |
| Yoshida ships them, then calls them a bad pair! What do you want man?? Also the people at the end. Is it doll devil, fearsome public speaking devil? Or something else entirely. I'm excited to see! |
 |
| What's with this series and the protags being super easy, like too much lol. Though good finally something happened in the end, as last few chapters almost made me sleep multiple times. |
 |
| Say whatever you want about CSM Part 1 but it was punk-rock fun. If you dislike guy full of chainsaws riding a fucking shark and killing a Tornado Baby, you're allergic to fun. This? Part 2 is literally "I am 14 and this is deep". I've thought I was being stoopid and critiquing the story way too harsh, but then Asa said "maybe I just kill myself" and there was no denying that I am now reading a story about emo teenager who listens My Chemical Romance. Oh, and of course this very thread will be FULL of people praising Fujimoto as their God and Savior (as usual) while you could get more character development and better dialogues in slice of life manga. Every other chapter feels like I am reading a filler. I like Fujimoto as much as other people, but Part 2 is garbage. I can relate to people being lonely, but you can't just write trash like this in 2023. -Oh people suck -I agree -Who needs them anyway? -Well, I kinda do -Why? -Because I feel lonely and sad -Even if they suck? -Yea. Maybe we all suck a lil bit Evangelion done it all more than 20 years ago, with gore, action and real depression to back it up. Hundreds of other stories done that. Feels like Asa as character specifically created to appeal to 14 yo girls, sorry, but I am not a girl, also I am twice her age. I think I am going to take another break from CSM and come back when something really worth discussing happens- or will just drop it altogether. I need to follow my own advice "don't like it? DON'T READ IT" instead of waiting for some miracle to occur. |
| Asa is a such a good character. Her introspection about herself and her failure to form human connection was so well done. Fujimoto is writing her so well. Also her relationship with Yoru seems to have deepened a lot. She was genuinely concerned about Asa's well being. I really love these two. Yoshida's stuff was pretty in character for him however I was hoping for a little more reveal from his side. Let's hope we learn more about him soon. Denji and Nayuta's part was cute. Denji losing motivation to be Chainsaw Man and Nayuta motivating him for it was pretty cute. I really like their dynamic as well. The ending part was pretty spooky. I wonder what Devil is it. I think Fami might be behind this incident as well. Overall a really solid chapter:- 4.7/5 |
 |
| damn nayuta really gatekeeping denji (for the better!?) also, i really feel for asa... fujimoto is being too real. so, suicide or mindctrl devil incoming? |
| Interesting cliffhanger, can't wait to see what exactly that's all about.....in 2 weeks AUUGGHHHH 🤬 |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Poor Asa... I feel so bad for her sometimes. She's so gullible. Denji is so easily manipulative still. LOL. And, it looks like something's gonna happen in the next chapter. That last panel was crazy. Nayuta is cute... |
 |
| Awwww so cute. I love Asa so much and Yoshida is really intriguing. I feel bad for Denji... and honestly now I wonder what is going on with Asa and Yoru?? What the hell is this?? Probably something to do with Kiga!  |

| Damn. I thought we'd learn a lot more about Yoshida with this chapter, but yet again I'm left wanting more - although I can see the reason why I feel this way being that I want what we find out about him to work as evidence against the villain allegations and all I keep getting is more and more proof that he's shady and not in a good way. It's probably a fool's errand to keep thinking that he'll be a positive part of Denji and Asa's lives. I need to accept that he's most likely up to no good. At least I didn't buy it for a second that he was going to confess to Asa, but who even thinks that he has romantic feelings for her? It's interesting that he was so direct with Asa rather than communicate things in an roundabout way. |

| Yeah, whatever's happening with Asa definitely is pretty far away from her so I'd assume she's talking about Asa/Yoru. On the other hand though, someone in this forum (@70ve I think?) mentioned that it might be the doll devil or something (around where Asa's at) |

I think I am going to take another break from CSM and come back when something really worth discussing happens- or will just drop it altogether. I need to follow my own advice "don't like it? DON'T READ IT" instead of waiting for some miracle to occur. I'm not saying part 2 is 100% perfect nor am I trying to be a Fujimoto fanboy but... Don't you think you're judging things a little too harshly? Like, I think Asa's character makes sense with her whole backstory, and I also think that Eva was amazing. On the contrary, though, I guess if Asa's real name was revealed to be Xx_Dark-Poseidon_xX that would definitely make the story more interesting (based on what you're hinting at since you don't like MCR things but went a little in that direction instead. I do agree that part 2 has been pretty slow and that there could've been more development (though as I said we're kinda moving at a slow-ish pace), though we'll have to stick to the end to see if it really picks up or not. And if you don't want to stick to the end and drop it now, I 100% respect that because that's your decision and that's totally chill. Not really sure what I'm trying to say here but just one more thing I want to add: I think Part 1 generally contained a lot of Denji's theme/aesthetic which is why it had all that craziness and all that, but right now the main character is Asa (Although Denji might be a diff main character, he's not 100% in the scope always right now), which is why...- Yeah I kinda see what you're talking about now. Well, yeah I guess her goal right now is a little unclear but I'm excited to see what happens in the future once everything comes into place. I'd like to believe that the scene/setting and etc for Part 2 is still being laid out as there are many questions left unanswered and we still are gaining returning characters (Eg. Nayuta in the story now, who is the mystery chainsawman, etc etc) so hopefully it'll start to pick up once more as things are laid out. I did feel like the first chapter had that old vibe with War Devil's ability, but right now Asa doesn't have the same circumstances in CSM 1 which is why things are going slow right now, I'd believe. This kinda made me reflect a bit on part 2 so thanks for that lol. I'm excited to see what comes in the future, hope I'll be here for the ending. |

luketo_9k said: I think that image url is broken.I really like that Yoshida an Asa didn't have anything, also im loving this Denji and Nayuta interactions, they feel like brother and sister that fight or argue but they care so much about the other, I think Fujimoto it's doing a great job with this arc (?). Asa and Denji are like a toxic couple but I love them, one it's craving for a girlfriend and the other one you just take to tell her that you love her or show her some love to her lhaving feelings for you, I hope they can fix that and end up together! Great chapter, and the end 10/10. |

| 4/5 Felt like a setup chapter but man, the way he's able to conjure up these cliffhangers every single chapter, derailing our minds into needless theory-crafting is just absolutely insane to me. I know we're all gonna get fucked in the ass anyways but I can't help myself from constant speculations I like how Asa is very perceptive of her surroundings and is atleast wary of Yoshida but again, gives up her train of thought rather quickly when presented with even a slight affection or notice. Poor girl, I feel bad for her. Aside from Yuko, she really never had friends and Yoshida's definitely not helping with his subtle warning to stay away from Denji. Man just refused to elaborate and left. Yoshida & Denji shippers are probably going crazy right now xD. I did love the commentary of parasocial relationships that pretty much directly addresses our current social media climate. Fujimoto has knack for integrating real world topics into his story and I respect him for that. It's not always shits & giggles ya'know Nayuta smacking Denji around was hilarious. She's such a brat, a quite large contrast to Makima's unnerving, enigmatic demeanor. Denji can't catch a break. This guy deserves a girlfriend at the very least but is getting cock-blocked infinitely. The last moments of this chapter was Fujimoto at his best. The slow casual instance that suddenly turns into something really ambiguous & rather quite scary, if im being honest. Yoru seems to be very aware and takes control immediately as it could be the devil that Nayuta was foreshadowing earlier. I personally don't think it's Death but it would make sense with the death body and all but it could also be Fami or an entirely new, very strong devil we haven't encountered before or some strong devil from part 1...WHO THE FUCK KNOWS??!! Fujimoto is cooking something really hype here , could go any direction but I feel like this is the turning point of part 2 especially since we got all our main cast members introduced now. See ya'll in two weeks time!! |

| Interesting chapter, Asa little by little realizes his flaws in his personality Yoshida is my father, how is he going to fool Asa like that and then tell him something like that about Denji I wonder what things will be happening in the final panel of this chapter |
I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion |
| Yoshida is hot ❤ ...And Denji is so dumb as usual 🤣 I really felt sorry for Asa though, loneliness is a bitch. And ofc the chapter ended with another cliff-hanger. And how I have to wait another 2 weeks to know if that's a set up for Asa or what 😭 |

omega_blue said: Fujimoto knows how to write femcel characters a little too well I mean this type of thoughts are typical for chronically lonely people, not just femceles. I can't imagine how many times I was thinking the same way, that it would be better for everyone else if I just died etc. |

| I dont think part 2 is ever gonna reach the level of soul crushingly depressing as part 1 did, but damn is it really successful when it wants me to feel bad for Asa. love the last shot of the people on the balcony, its creepy as fuck. TheMangaManiacSay whatever you want about CSM Part 1 but it was punk-rock fun. If you dislike guy full of chainsaws riding a fucking shark and killing a Tornado Baby, you're allergic to fun. I dont know if I ever really found part 1 fun let alone punk rock, I feel like everyone gravitated towards it cause of the tragedy than any action set pieces. Theres a reason people only talk about Reze and never her fight with that tornado. Even the anime recently kind of showcased what people actually liked, alot of people didnt understand any of the hype until the gunshots/himeno's death, whenever this series delved into action it was usually at its worst and thankfully rarely ever focused on it. |

 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Asa is just one of the most relatable manga characters ever, she is.... literally me. Then at the end, suicide or something else? Interesting and eerie final page |
| Is Death finally here? I hope so. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| Asa's day just isn't going to get any better... |
 |
| This feckin Yoshida rlly did not just do that quite long hopeful talk only to show in the end that he just wants Asa to stay away from Denji like talk abt giving her a big false hope plss lmaoo. In the other hand Nayuta being Nayuta and Asa exposing her autism even more and now wth was that last creepy panel after that random guy just fell from upper building i assume. Rlly giving me of the creepy mangas by Junji Itou vibes. |
 |
Could be! Considering that Asa was in her lowest mental state, it would be awesome if it's a suicide devil O.o And btw like other people were wondering if Nayuta was smelling the scent of Yoru, that is very unlikely. I think Nayuta sensed the new devil coming forth. |
| I was expecting that Asa was gonna misunderstand and think that Yoshida is into Denji from telling her to stay away from him rofl. |
