"This author is definitely the same one who made 'Look Back!'"
At first, I wasn't into Chainsaw Man. I thought it was just another raunchy manga for teenage boys. But... after being moved by the movie "Look Back," I decided to rewatch the first anime season since it was by the same creator. That's when I learned about Himeno and Aki's backstory and Makima's conspiracy, and I got hooked.
Then, just one week later, I watched the movie "REZEarc" and ended up bawling my eyes out. That's when I truly understood: "This author is definitely the same one who made 'Look Back!'"
Chainsaw Man might seem like a typical action hero story, like Superman or Batman, at first glance. But it's actually the coming-of-age story of the protagonist, Denji. It's a human drama depicting the bonds, trust, betrayal, and disappointment within the various relationships that form during his growth. I think it's an emotionally stirring masterpiece.
I truly believe people who avoid watching this work just because it's labeled an action hero story are missing out.
I hope you'll ride this wave and connect with it, not just dismiss it as some raunchy anime for boys.
