Set in a world plagued by devils born from human fears, It follows Denji, a down-and-out devil hunter who merges with his pet devil Pochita to become Chainsaw Man — a being with literal chainsaws for limbs.
After being recruited by the mysterious government agency Public Safety Devil Hunters, Denji begins a new life fighting devils. Chasing simple dreams like eating good food, finding love, and living with dignity. But the cost of power, humanity, and survival is higher than he ever imagined.
