Chainsaw Man (チェンソーマン)

Better get to work.

Tree cutting nets me about

60,000 yen a month.

And that kidney I just sold...

was, uh, 1.2 mil.

My right eye was... 300,000.

Sold one of my nuts, too.

How much did they go for again?

Not even 100k, I think.

So... as of today, I owe...

Over 38 million yen.

All right, Pochita.

You ready to kill something?

Well, that makes two of us.

Most devils ain't what you'd call good,

but a dead one's good for about 300 thou.

Huntin' devils is easily the best way to make some cash.

CHAINSAW MAN

Yeah, this thing's got to be the Tomato Devil, sir.

Burn the seeds or it'll use 'em to come back for round two.

Ah, excellent work, Denji.

Someone on the black market is

bound to pay a hefty sum for this fresh corpse.

How's 400,000 sound to you?

Sounds awesome!

That's before subtracting your debt payment...

...and interest, though,

which whittles it down to 170,000.

Then there's the finder's fee,

admin fee, management costs,

and so on.

Just 70k left for me.

I definitely gotta use this cut to pay the water bill.

Then there are the debts I still owe to other people.

Funny how that works.

We're already down to 1800 yen, Pochita.

There's nothing to eat back at our place,

which means we have to make this 1800 yen last...

the rest of the month.

FOR SALE For dinner tonight,

let's go full-on carbivore and split a slice of bread, okay?

I really don't understand why you hire a punk like that

to take out devils.

It's to ensure he pays off the mountain of debt he owes us.

Though his worthless dad accrued it, Denji's the one

stuck with the bill.

Is a broke-ass kid and his creepy little pet honestly...

the best fit for this sort of job?

Authentic Devil Hunters wouldn't do what Denji does.

Dealing the carcasses of their kills to the Yakuza...

is too scandalous for them.

But not him.

Denji's biggest perk is how obedient he is.

Hey, Fido.

I'll give you 100 yen if you swallow the cigarette.

Huh?

Whoa, you will?!

Alrighty, down the hatch this sucker goes.

We'll be in touch.

Keep in mind you're pig slop if you try to skip town.

Now we're set for another three days.

Guess what I found out recently.

It's considered normal to eat your bread with jam on it.

Too bad normal's a pipe dream

for folks down on their luck like us, huh?

Bet that I'll bite the big one before I ever pay off this debt.

Dad...

Probably won't make it with a girl before I kick the bucket either.

My rinky-dink shack doesn't exactly scream romance.

And no dough to go on dates.

If dreams do come true...

then before I croak, I wanna be with a girl.

That cowardly bastard strung himself up...

before paying this month's installment.

Look, kid. I don't care if you beg or whore yourself out.

I want 700,000 yen by tomorrow.

Otherwise, we chop you up and sell the bits.

Got it?

A chainsaw?

It's a devil.

Hurry up and do it if you're gonna kill me.

I'm dead either way.

You're hurt.

Death's coming for both of us, huh?

Take a bite!

I heard that by drinking blood,

devils can heal whatever wounds they've got.

If you don't want to die,

Then bite me!

My blood doesn't come free.

You're signing a contract.

I helped you out and saved your life.

Now return the favor.

Because, like you, I'd rather not die yet.

Here's an idea.

Hire me as a Devil Hunter so I can pay off what I owe.

I'm way too hungry to sleep right now.

I think about money when I can't sleep,

which makes falling asleep even harder.

When I do cop some Zs,

I know what dream I want to have.

Gonna put jam on all my bread

and split every piece with you.

Then I'll lay on the charm and flirt with a girl.

We'll spend the night playing video games together

and hug each other as we doze off.

Sweet, right?

It just runs in my family.

They said my mom died from a heart condition

that made her cough up blood.

Got a new devil for you, Denji.

Time to go to work.

Wish they'd let me dream...

at least for a little bit.

You sure a devil showed up in here, sir?

Apart from us, I don't see a soul.

You think it's hiding somewhere?

Or maybe it made like a bird and flocked off.

Denji, my boy.

You know we're grateful for your years of service, yes?

Um... yeah, of course.

You're as loyal and obedient as a dog.

And to top it off,

you work for cheap treats like one as well.

Uh...

Only problem with dogs is...

I can never tolerate the stench.

The Yakuza may be powerful,

but even the ones on top...

...dream of getting bigger and richer.

So we took a page from your book

and struck a deal with a devil.

We wanted to obtain demonic power

and see ourselves grow stronger.

Whereas I want to see every devil hunter in existence...

...perish!

I have to tell you, little devil hunter,

I've met rocks that were smarter than these louts.

Such a gullible bunch of fools.
