It’s not a common criticism but I’ve seen ppl say that it’s “too late” for Asa’s story to be given the focus and payoff it deserves. I’d lowkenuinely agree if it wasn’t fujimoto; if he can switch up people’s perception of fumiko with literally less than a page, then he can stick the landing with Asa

I wonder what Alysa Liu’s thoughts are on today’s chapter

#csm229 Just noticed the paneling parallels between these two, this might just be the fastest wait for the next chapter ever there’s so much to dissect

Another great asa face

Perfect line to show the core difference between Denji and Asa, no matter how hard Asa tries to buy into the “ignorance is bliss” mindset that Denji encouraged her to have she can’t. It’s why she doesn’t hesitate to open the door, why she chases the monster in the alley instead of locking it away

#csm229 ➡️intended emotion: disgust, anger ⬅️

#csm229 “the things you think are sins are nothing before a devil’s eyes” this could be asa’s “isn’t that just normal though” moment

#csm229 heavy bird imagery we are so fucking back

Realistic prediction for tomorrow: Asa crashes out at yoru for caring about her after everything she’s done to everyone else, recontextualizes a lot of both their actions in the early story Crack prediction: twilight blade

Asa mitaka I need you to turn someone into a sword this week and show john kagurabachi how it’s done

Wow Alysia Liu isn’t just a chainsaw man fan but she’s also up to date on the manga :o Alysa blink twice if you’re seeing this 👀

If you see this post a character that starts with m

So I still don’t buy into fight club fully but I do think it’s a possible route for Asa to “absorb” yoru’s war devil powers while staying herself, something something embracing the selfish side of her while not having war eaten by pochita so she can be remembered, essentially I just want this

Does anyone else see the asa vs Denji endgame brewing or is it just me

#csm228 fujimoto I beg please address what I think you’re addressing bc if the next chapter is talking about yoru genuinely thinking about what she thinks asa likes and dislikes then…

Chainsaw man fans when there’s a dialogue heavy chapter to look forward to instead of 15 seconds of action that will look good animated in 20 years

#csm228 war devil unwilling to run over the living symbol of peace despite death not existing

#csm228 it would be so much easier for Asa if yoru didn’t care but she does, I cannot imagine having to share both sides of this twisted ass mother daughter relationship in your own head

#csm228 me and who

Break week was way better than I expected after the first few days, I sense a really bad tummyache in tomorrow’s chapter

Volume 23 back cover is hard as hell and avoids spoilers for volume readers, big w

Something I’ll always appreciate about gege’s writing is his insistence on adding a poetic spin to the narration, it really elevates standard shonen fights into a new level. bararaga vs dabura is a great example of his writing strengths

Praying they give the Moro arc the love it deserves but YIPPEE

Me and who

Best part 2 covers (and for all of chainsaw man tbh) in order

#csm227 something oddly serene about this panel… denji man surrounded by city birds right after asa is forced out of her body again, this will probably be the panel to chew on for the week

Sorry pal fujimoto found a cover guy with bigger boobs than you (somehow) you’ll get em next time

Bright side the volume 23 cover features the GOAT

Okay this was actually a really good action chapter but I feel like it’s gonna get a lot of hate bc the plot isn’t plotting atm 😭 #csm227

#csm227 spoilers, the plague devil kicks Denji into a Round 1 and the chapter ends with him staring into this

Barem bridge volume cover reveal in 48 hours who’s ready

This might be the funniest image of all time like what is international superstar The Weeknd doing in kyomoto’s cramped ass hallway

#csm226 yoru you childish rat, now that she’s losing it’s not actually her that’s losing, all she has to do is tag in her twin/daughter and now she’s losing instead of

#csm226 reze mentioned

#csm226 I like the concept of the plague devil’s home being in an anti-oasis; a cracked wasteland surrounded by water, very biblical

Crack theory for tomorrow, Denji man and yoru are gonna run into pochita’s followers which is how the blood devil plotline will tie in to the current events

The more I think about it the funnier this panel is like why do the crows gaf about legs being gone 😭

#csm225 meatheads (me) are gonna love the next chapter, part 2 hell looks really fucking cool

#csm225 for a beautiful moment this was canon in denji’s memories

The only substance I will ever add to chainsaw man sex/intimacy discourse; it ain’t love if there ain’t a hug

2026 is going to be far better than you expect

He’s so good at this man

What’s everyone’s predictions for tomorrow

#csm224 my feminist king Denji man got tired of everyone objectifying yoru’s ass so he ate the leg devil to get them to shut up

#csm224 no big reveals or anything but it’s exciting to think of the possibilities of how Denji can fuck the world up in the new year

#csm224 love this corny ass dude

#csm224 me with my frosted animal crackers

Jump why are u bugging last chapter of the year 🤬

6 hours before we get the payoff for this foreshadowing and ppl realize that reze was neither the spider nor the butterfly: she was the moon 🙂‍↕️

“All we gotta do is take this saw man to the cleaners and the CIA is gonna cough up 2 million smackeroos “ put me on the localization team right now
