Title: Chainsaw Man (part 2)

Creator/s: Tatsuki Fukimoto

Medium, Genre, and Format: manga, action, comedy horror, dark fantasy

Year Released: 2022

Is it long, medium, or short?: Long (as of 2022: ongoing)

It is for kids, teens, or adults only?: adults.

A cool quote from the work:
"This is your reality. Hurry up and accept it."

Blurb: "Asa Mitaka is an introverted high school student attending Fourth East High School, who has trouble finding her place in society following her mother's death to the Typhoon Devil. One day, after accidentally killing her class' pet devil Bucky, she is confronted by a student who has made a contract with the Justice Devil. The student attempts to kill Asa, but Yoru the War Devil appears and makes a contract with Asa, inhabiting her body and making her a living Fiend host, under the condition that she kills Chainsaw Man. After dispatching her killer, Asa seeks to find Chainsaw Man, though she and Yoru have differing goals: Asa wants Yoru to leave her body, while Yoru wants to reclaim the Nuclear Weapons Devil which was consumed by Pochita."

Why is it worth your time?: Specifically it's the second part of Chainsaw Man when Asa and Yoru are introduced as protagonists. Yoru can read Asa's thoughts, she can only possess (or switch with) Asa when she's not feeling distressed. Asa sees Yoru as a hallucination and talks to her out loud. While the plot is ongoing, the way the possession and relationship between the human and devil is treated so far is interesting.

Plural Tags: comics, fantasy, superhero

Content Warnings: Gory! Chainsaw Man is a very gory, violent piece of work, unafraid to kill off side characters in gruesome ways. In the first part, there are themes of abuse, along with sexual actions and words.

Accessibility Notes: I'm unsure of any screenreader available.
