Chainsaw Man

2022 12 episodes TV Tokyo / Crunchyroll Action Dark Fantasy Horror Comedy Drama Crunchyroll

Denji is a teenager so poor he sold organs to pay his dead father's debt to the yakuza. His only friend is Pochita, a chainsaw devil. When the yakuza betray him, Pochita merges with Denji's body, turning him into the Chainsaw Man — a human-devil hybrid recruited by a government devil-hunting division. Denji's motivation isn't heroism or revenge; he just wants to eat toast with jam and touch a girl. The most refreshingly honest shonen protagonist in years, in a show that's equal parts gore, comedy, and genuine emotional devastation.
