Chainsaw Man Box Set with 30% Discount: How And Where To Buy

You might not have realized how enormous Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man is unless you have spent the last few years hiding out in a cave on Mars. It’s one of the biggest shonen series of recent years, a blockbuster manga series with an equally successful anime adaptation. For the first half of 2023, it was the second-best-selling series in Japan, while the first volume of the series was the best-selling manga in the US in 2018.

This might be the motivation you need to finally pick up Chainsaw Man if you’ve been meaning to. For $150, you can purchase the Chainsaw Man box set, which also comes with a double-sided poster and the 11 manga volumes that make up Part One of the story.

But at this time, preorders for $112 are accessible via Booktopia and Amazon and other online stores. This works out to about $10.20 each volume, which is really decent given that they often sell for $15 each. Its sole drawback, then? The delivery date is October 4; you must wait till then.

As a way to pay off his father’s enormous debts, Denji, a penniless youngster, hunts Devils, which are embodiments of human anxieties, in Chainsaw Man. His closest buddy Pochita, a Devil that resembles a cute pug with a chainsaw on its head, is the only person who can make his existence bearable because it is so utterly miserable.

Denji’s situation worsens as the men he had been working for betray him and kill him. On the edge of passing away, Pochita strikes a deal with his best buddy that causes the two of them to merge, turning Denji into a human-demon hybrid with chainsaws growing out of his limbs and brain. Following that, Denji/Chainsaw Man is offered the option to join the Public Safety Division, a group of officially recognized Devil Hunters, or to perish.

Should you read Chainsaw Man?
Definitely, yes. In spite of the fact that I can see why you might be reluctant to start a hugely successful series out of concern that it has been overrated, I believe Chainsaw Man lives up to its reputation. The series has been a marvel to watch Fujimoto’s storyline and artistic abilities grow. In terms of the tones of the series, he pulls off a skilful balancing job. Both bloody and humorous. Thought-provoking and action-packed. On the very following page, after witnessing Denji bodily pull out a devil’s heart, you’ll experience it yourself.

If you’ve only watched the anime and thought it was good, I highly suggest reading the manga as well (the adaptation only goes through chapter 38; the rest is gathered in the series’ fifth volume). Even though I really like the adaptation, I think that some of Fujimoto’s more interesting, rougher edges were lost in translation because of MAPPA’s excellent production value. The manga, in my opinion, has a greater sense of the series’ rhythm; the abrupt flips and twists feel wilder, while the gentler parts feel a little more significant.

Additionally, you have some time left to watch the series in its entirety. The manga’s twelfth volume, which opens Part Two of the story, will be released in December, so we probably won’t see the second season of the Chainsaw Man anime until sometime in 2024.
