Chainsaw Man Manga Thread

[tripleaamin]

JJK really soaked up the criticism for how bad chainsaw man part 2 has been

once denji became a major player again the quality nose dived and that was relatively quickly into it

just a bunch of flash no substance moments, introductions of characters and never really fleshing them out, denji's complete lack of development as a character where there is no excuse to get as braindead manipulated as he consistently does unless he is an actual high support needed autistic

I call bullshyt now on all the people saying Part 2 was always planned.

• Compared to the deaths of Aki and Power, Nayuta's death had 0 impact. She could have been a huge character for Denji and Fujimoto did nothing with her.
• Wtf is Fujimoto trying to do with both Fami and Death? People are coping if Part 3 is planned, but wtf is this with just 1 chapter left? People say Part 1 is better binged, which is true, but the transition from the International Assassins Arc into Gun Devil got hella people invested. It still was a great weekly read if you read chapter by chapter.
• Asa is probably the best character in Part 2, and she got sidelined by both Denji and Yoru. Denji was a nothing burger mostly. Yoru is fine, and war as a concept is interesting. But she just had nothing on Makima.
• The overall cast compared to Part 1 is fukking trash. I don't remember any new characters besides Asa. They all are forgettable fodder.

Fujimoto should have just made Asa's arc in the beginning of Part 2 as a self-contained spinoff, and it would have worked perfectly. If they continue

The funniest thing with Part 2 is how much blind praise Fujimoto gets. He is a very eccentric mangaka and his raw ideas are great, but as shown with part 2, sometimes he doesn't know what to do with the ingredients. The one thing with the JJK fanbase is at least they can be very critical of Gege which he deserves. The funniest thing is in Part 2 you had the Chainsaw Man Church Arc, which was in a way him mocking his own fanbase .

The fanbase putting him on the tier of some of the legendary mangaka like Naoki, Arakawa, Toriyama, Noda, Miura, Araki etc. Hell, he isn't on the tier of Satoru Noda (Golden Kamuy) and Q Hayashida (Dorohedo). Chainsaw Man Pt. 1 is a good work, and it's a great deconstruction of a Shounen story. It's not something I would call at least great like the rest of these guys that I have mentioned.
