I really enjoyed this volume and am just overall happy that the last couple of volumes have picked back up. I really loved seeing the one devil lady again, and some of the plot holes are getting filled in and actually starting to make sense. This volume was very action-packed, and I definitely think that is what Fujimoto does best.
one of the best volumes and finally getting to the heart of what part 2 is trying to say. making denji think about his past actions and dig deep as to who he is and what he has done - both as denji and as chainsaw man. the death devil (my queen Lil D) is so cool and trying to understand her ideas vs the war devils ideas. like literally what does denji even do. both of them are using his hypersexuality to their advantage... please let me take denji out for ice cream or something he does NOT deserve this shit going down.
Nachdem die Identität des Death-Devils gelüftet wurde, nimmt der Plan Famis mithilfe des unter Kontrolle geratenen Famine Devils und Fake Chainsaw Man Fahrt auf. Die Dynamik zwischen Yoru und Denji ist dabei genauso absurd wie unterhaltsam und bleibt vor der Kulisse eines völlig zertrümmerten Tokyos die einzige Konstante. Nach wie vor genieße ich den schwarzen und abgedrehten Humor der Chainsaw-Man-Reihe, das bleibt mein guilty pleasure, zu dem ich immer wieder zurückkehren werde. Wenn auch insgesamt hohl, fand ich das Hinzuziehen amerikanischer Kriegsmaschinerie in dem Kontext der Charakterentwicklung sinnvoll.
Volume 22 (starts here at Chapter 199 up to Chapter 210)
read Chainsaw Man Chapter 199 (1st out of 12 chapters=1/12=8.30% on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus Volume 22 on Friday, April 18th, 2025 - Death Devil ate the fake Chainsaw Man and Fami and enslaved them!!! Death Devil is gruesome: eating human flesh while they are still fresh to eliminate mankind... I know where this is going: Death Devil now controls both Fami and the fake Chainsaw Man. 🤮😞😩😖 The ravens eating the flesh is terrifying!
read Chainsaw Man Chapter 200 (2nd out of 12 chapters=3/12=25% on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus Volume 22 on Friday, April 18th, 2025 - Asa is letting the negative thoughts get into her mind: "she can eat food with toxic additives because she is a toxic woman now". She should not think about it or else she will become like them. Denji and Asa riding that bicycle must be a wild ride banging their way through people 🤣.
read Chainsaw Man Chapter 201 (3rd out of 12 chapters=3/12=25% on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus Volume 22 on Monday, May 26, 2025 - Yoru smacked it, "I am the only woman you need, aren't I?" That poor woman lost her arm. Famine is not doing good and needs to be taught by Chef Devil. Does this manga seems as if it is still going anywhere? It seems as if it is bouncing around, lacks depth, lacks character development, and more.
read Chainsaw Man Chapter 202 (4th out of 12 chapters=4/12=33.30% on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus Volume 22 on Monday, June 9, 2025 - Mutilation. Screams. Victims. Two Chainsaw Men. One is fake. The other is real. There is a lot of slicing and splicing on this chapter. The citizens that turned into Chainsaw Men are mere sacrifices. Denji was right to say that Yoru is crazy altogether. She just points her fingers like a bullet.
read Chainsaw Man Chapter 203 (5th out of 12 chapters=5/12=41.70% on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus Volume 22 on Monday, June 9, 2025 - The immaculate art of Tatsuki Fujimoto never fails to mesmerize me. The building, the décor, the artline, the storyline: the Fall Devil just continues to torture Famine. It's really unsettling that these events continue to occur. And Chainsaw Man is plummeted yet again. Yoru just lavishes torture. 🙁
read Chainsaw Man Chapter 204 (6th out of 12 chapters=6/12=50% on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus Volume 22 on Tuesday, June 24, 2025 - Yoru turning building into swords and now there is Fire Devil inside a man? She said that she can kill "her"? Who's "her"? Death Devil? Who is that guy whose face got chopped off anyway? And Denji just saved a bunch of people from Fakesaw Man!! Yehey for Denji 😄, but now, they are still afraid of him. The Falling Devil is as cool as ever. 😄
read Chainsaw Man Chapter 205 (7th out of 12 chapters=7/12=58.30% on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus Volume 22 on Sunday, June 29, 2025 - So, the Fire Devil wants Chainsaw Man to choose the younger twin brother instead of a cat? And now, Denji is being tested again. Is he going to save Yoru or is he going to dismiss her? And the Falling Devil is here. Who is she siding with again? Reading these chapters bit by bit is hard to connect.
read Chainsaw Man Chapter 206 (8th out of 12 chapters=8/12=66.70% on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus Volume 22 on Monday, July 14, 2025 - How interesting! Asa is saving Denji this time. How the tables have turned. 😳 I am glad that the story is progressing despite the exciting titles in the chapter. Falling Devil is scary. 😖 That man that appeared in Falling Devil's mouth is guilt-tripping Denji. Asa is taking the risk.
read Chainsaw Man Chapter 207 (9th out of 12 chapters=9/12=75% on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus Volume 22 on Tuesday, July 29, 2025 - The sharpness of those swords and the bulkiness of that tank. It's so cool to see how those weapons are drawn against Yoru's arm. Denji deserves to be happy and it's good that Asa is cheering Denji up. We're in Volume 22. Is it time for Fujimoto to step on the breaks? Each chapter is so profound!
read Chainsaw Man Chapter 208 (10th out of 12 chapters=10/12=83.3% on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus Volume 22 on Tuesday, July 29, 2025 - Yoru changed her mind not to turn Denji into a weapon? That's so sick. She is listening to Asa, but moreover she is blushing. Denji making sacrificial demands, "Please turn me into a weapon to lighten my sins." Readers would have loved to see a motorcycle. But, the author does not have energy.
read Chainsaw Man Chapter 209 (11th out of 12 chapters=11/12=91.70% on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus Volume 22 on Monday, August 11, 2025 - How very interesting that they mentioned "nuclear weapons" in this chapter! 😧😮😵 And Asa remembered it all while she was terminating the Falling Devil. Falling Devil is crying tears of blood and Asa almost cried tears of blood as well after remembering nuclear weapons. Denji is smushed to pieces.
read Chainsaw Man Chapter 210 (12th out of 12 chapters=12/12=100% on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus Volume 22 on Monday, Sep 1, 2025 - Yoru putting up her hand against her chest to honour the American national anthem (which is revised by Tatsuki Fujimoto to reflect the doom and gloom of the situation). Yoru remembering nuclear weapons and that she loves America and not Denji is a great twist! Denji waking up in front of Li'l D. 😂

I’m liking how everything is feeling right now. It’s not to the extent of part one but I think it’s definitely cool. Yoru remembering nuclear weapons as one of her children and her favorite ability and then loving America because of it (she does have Lockheed Martin on her face). Denji is getting flash banged with guilt and truth almost every chapter now so that’s sad.

This is the book I caught up on so this will be my review for p2, until it ends.
5/5 This author fucking gets it. This part doesn’t have power or aki, but the other characters that are present are still very entertaining.
I love nayuta, yoshida, asa mitaka and yoru. Solid standouts of this part, the vibes are really different from part 1 (not in a bad way) but these characters fit this story much better than the part 1 characters would have. This second part is clearly going for a much different overall theme than part 1 was.
A bit better than the previous volume but what the fuck is going on in general? The story is all over the place. Characters who were supposed to be dead come back, many of them are not who they say they are etc. The last 2 chapters were kind of good but overall it's still meh in my opinion. The Part 2 in general is terrible whereas the first part was amazing. I don't know what happened but this shit needs to wrap up soon.
Insane shit saved for the very end of the volume yet again. I can't even blame them at this point. This is genuinely just constant insanity, but in a good way! Like, it does make sense. I really do think it does. I just need to sit with it. The images are impactful, though. It feels like the message about war is really coming into focus now. I do love it. It isn't as powerful as Part 1 still, but I think it might just get there.
Vivan los Estados Unidos de America y la libertad de hacer cualquier mierda… Si este manga fuera solo Asa y Denji, creo que podría fácilmente volverse en uno de mis favoritos, pero tanta mierda innecesaria que me agota.
Poniéndole 4 estrellas nada más porque si Asa se muere después de haberle dicho en este mismo volumen que quiere hacer feliz a Denji……… vamos a tener un problema
