Chainsaw man synopsis
The story takes place in a world where demons threaten the peace of people and turn them into targets to be eliminated. Denji is a depressed young man who has sold several of his organs and works as a lumberjack and demon hunter to pay off his late father’s debts. Denji owns a dog (who is also a demon) named Pochita, who has chainsaws and with whom he does his work.
This is explained because humans can contract with demons. After returning home from a job, Denji is called by a yakuza to infiltrate a building and murder another demon. However, the plan was a trap to murder him under a yakuza contract with the demon to give them more power. But Pochita comes to Denji ‘s help and joins him, becomes half human, half demon and acquires Pochita’s chainsaws.
