Chainsaw Man, Vol. 2 by Tatsuki Fujimoto

3.0

So we get a little bit more intrigue with the Makima talking about a certain powerful devil and learning Aki's backstory. Introduces some more characters, though they are all also not very likable. Except for Kobeni, the poor girl just wants her paycheck. I know Denji's character type is "dumb and horny teenage boy" but it's honestly kind of annoying now, not endearing. Like, the whole obsession with boobs thing he has going on is getting grating. I think it's meant to be funny, but it just comes off as annoying "boy humor". I'm honestly far more interested in Makima and Aki, than I am in Denji and Power. Something about Makima makes me curious about what the hell is going on with her. What are her motives? Why did she become a devil hunter herself? I hope the manga expounds on that at some point. I do wonder a bit about how Power got to be how she is currently, but that's a far more mild curiosity than the one I have for Makima. I just don't care about Denji, which is worrying seeing as he is the main character.
