4/5

ASADEN IS REAL!!!

[Ricarda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Denji and Nayuta's relationship is so wholesome, I just know it is doomed. No happiness allowed in this series.

[Callie Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Mackenzie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Despite being in the second (third?) arc, I feel like we're still in this weird purgatory between the first and the futuristic second arc. Yes, there's story, yes, there's plot, but I'm not sure where it's heading. It's not in a conventional story telling process.

Fujimoto isn't a conventional guy though. He also has not turned the story the least bit around where we can start to root for Denji and hope things get better, because we know that they have not and probably will not.

I'm craving for hope from Denji's story, but I feel everything is hopeless and I find it a struggle to continue reading if everything is hopeless.

i liked it, but it is boring. i can't find that feeling of the first chapters in this one's, and it's getting worse and worse

[Tahani · Rating 4 out of 5]

The best part about csm is that it's so unhinged

[MrGlassWontBreak · Rating 4 out of 5]

With Nayutas fate unknown(although she's probably not dead), Asa finally finding out that Denji is Chainsaw Man, and the looming threat of Nostradamus(Death Devil) ever etching closer.

How will Denji face this threat now that his normal life has been destroyed once again, and he feels like Chainsaw Man has cost him the closest thing to family he has ever known.

(3.5/5)

[Vinicius · Rating 4 out of 5]

Devido ao atraso da Panini em publicar chainsawman, pois os volumes são lançados sem periodicidade definida, o meu hype com a série diminuiu, e somado a isso, a ideia do chainsawman resetar a Makima e dar prosseguimento ao demonio do controle, me fez cansar um pouco também da série.

Enfim, esse volume 18 encerra as consequências que a casa de Denji e Nayuta sofreu, bem como os ataques aos dois, principalmente a Nayuta, que foi descoberta por alguns como um demônio.

Além disso, Denji perde seu propósito ao se deparar com o desaparecimento do demonio do controle, que junto dos cachorros mortos no incêndio, eram considerados por Denji como sua família.

É triste ver como o Denji novamente se ferrou e está sozinho. O personagem saiu de uma vida sofrida, para um trabalhador explorado e dominado, mas com direitos e amigos, para novamente uma vida sozinha. É bem melancólico ver o personagem sozinho de novo e desamparado sem notícias da Nayuta.

Desse modo, Denji é facilmente capturado, fazendo com que Asa se alie a outra demonio para resgatarem Denji das mãos da igreja/culto ao chainsawman.

As lutas são bem boas, com desenhos muito viscerais e bem vivos, como é de costume dessa série.

[Jeremy Martin · Rating 3 out of 5]

A pretty disappointing installment without a lot of meat to it.

[Yesirea · Rating 5 out of 5]

Denji has been through a lot, when will he catch a break? I've been reading Chainsaw Man online cause I'm too broke to buy the physical mangas. I've caught up to the latest chapter 180, I can't wait for volume 19 to be here so I can log it. I've been keeping up with Chainsaw Man for 2 years now. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

[Consuelo Paz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Asa's so funny in this one.

Como siempre no entendí nada pero fue un tomo interesante. Ya todos saben que Denji es Chainsaw Man wtf y esa escena de Pochita hablando con Denji para luego ver que lo estaban troceando WTF

[Percy · Rating 3 out of 5]

am I falling out of love with this series?

[Rod Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

At this point the characters all seem as confused as me about what's going on, so that makes me feel good.

Holy FUCK

[Bella · Rating 2 out of 5]

I’ve accepted that I can’t blame Fujimoto for the story (or lack thereof) anymore; this is my fault now.

[Ronald · Rating 3 out of 5]

At least something interesting happened this volume it feels like the plot such as it is moved forward. It is OK. I could use some consistency in the secondary characters, like if one acts a certain way then suddenly does not is weird. Are we just killing time and filling pages per contract until something happens?

Bonus points were given for this volume being a quick read.

[Rin · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5⭐ because I waited so long to read it and forgot what was happening at first

[Jiro Dreams of Suchy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love this series- it’s so good. All the characters feel sincere, somewhat dim at times but trying their best even if they sometimes become monstrous killing machines, literal devils or just run with gangs.

Chainsaw man is dismembered in a comically gory moment and put back together. Asa and Fami save him but are still angry at chainsaw man.
