#yoshiden no devil au with delinquent/orphan denji and student council president yoshida

I don’t view this as a reveal that Asa has purposefully tripped all the times she’s been shown to fall. Instead I interpret it as the reason why she has such anxiety over it- her own self doubt causes her to constantly believe that each time she falls she was subconsciously intending to do so.

"You good up there?" "Yeah, I told you there was a cloud that looks like a dog!" #chainsawman #nayuta #denji #csmfanart

Iris out

Long boi

being vague so she thinks you and denji are gay for each other

最高だった！レゼ篇！

avoiding discussion of yoshida’s (un)death (im coping and full of hope), im fascinated by the implications of 213-214. do they mean an actual shift in denji’s relationship to men and manhood?

Let's hope you will not just be another fleeting memory

I'm sorry

My baby

csm214

Reading this, it's as if Denji is searching for the "eye contact" he has with Yoshida. And. Uh. Not seeing Yoshida's face makes it more painful, he lost him.

csm214 Ok but let’s give it up for the art, this is raw, visceral, heart wrenching grief

"I'll help Denji, he deserves a normal life. I want to make him as happy as he makes me". #yoshiden #Yoshida #Denji #csm

you cannot tell me these weren’t the moments he fell in stupid love (and yes that’s very embarrassing for him)

bombs sent to denji by others who cared nothing for their humanity, only wishing for a world where they could’ve had a peaceful school life with him

real love is being able to be near someone without fear, stress or caring about how you are perceived. it’s being able to completely shed ideas of how you should relate to each other designated by the roles put upon you by the world. Yoshida reminded Denji of that kind of love.

my new favorite page in chainsaw man and perhaps one of my new favorite pages in manga ever

this genuinely being one of the happiest moments in Yoshida’s life guts me

Eat with me?

:,)

#csm213 The way this functions thematically: as a reveal, an epiphanic swell of words finally allowed to be said, acknowledged, and /grateful for/ in this messy space between the two of them? I'm sorry... I like it more than if we saw the scene itself. We didn't have to

denji reflects on girls he thinks are coming onto him but are actually manipulating him, then yoshida does a straight up romcom move and is just here for honest companionship (and explosions but shh ignore that) this is insane you can't possibly get gayer than this

ok maybe this is a reach, but— it’s specified that Denji /and/ Yoshida were harassed when they were together. what if the reason for that harassment is /because/ they were together and perceived as gay for it.

yoshida really enjoys people watching. he cant participate, but he loves to soak in every detail of life he cant have, unable to not be charmed and amused. denji is damaged in all kind of ways but he is funny and surprising and easy to carve a space near

Actually I'm teasing thoughts abt Fumiko working for War and Yoshida working for Death possibly as their pawns while also transmitting their ways of appealing to Denji in response to the duality of his "hunger" via their roles (lover and feeder) ⬇️

213 🤝

This cover is amazing… her smile half a grimace, asa being made to carry yoru while she straddles her with bare thighs that are in full and centered view of the camera. it’s such a succinct visual metaphor for the thematic focusing in on sexual abuse and manipulation during these chapters

マキマ

The STD Devil contract got me thinking about abuse as being something like a disease but it’s really hard to come up with an explanation that isn’t “replicate, propagate, mutate”

theres something to fumiko and denji being put physically in parallel on the page when their character parallels are being made explicitly fumikos below him bc she's been forced to perpetuate the same system that traumatized them both, she's looking up at someone where she once was? #csm #csm212

ugh! i am so not locked in enough to make a thread about fumiko. OKAY! let’s speedrun! a small 🧵; the stringing of thoughts

Denji just straight up not remembering this is uh. not a great sign for his mental state.
