Description
Updated: Eri Yukizaki, is a girl locked in battle with a chain-saw wielding incantation of true evil. But like the demons that boil inside her heart, the 'Chainsaw Man' doesn't seem to die no matter how much she stabs him. As she fights, a young man, Yamamoto watches, love-struck, wishing he could be more than just her useless bicycle courier. An action-packed romance, digging into the human psyche, exploring the demons that buries us in sadness and misery. Hilarious, action-packed, romantic, thrilling, cute, and dramatic !
Prev: (From SCX-Scans) Eri Yukizaki is a girl who fights. She is a "pretty soldier." Her foe is the evil Chainsaw-man, who doesn't die even after being slashed. If he isn't defeated, the world will have no future. "I was wrapped into this battle, and my life has changed completely..." A "non-stop" negative youth story with many symbolisms!

well, 7, I guess, plain beginning, plain ending..
besides, I think it is not very deep.. some symbolism is used, but it should not be very rare nowadays I guess..
Some adult contents, 4 pages at most as far as I remembered..
finished reading it in 1 hour, a reread will hopefully be done, but just for the middle and latter half.
the ending is too lustreless.
2 volumes is a good length.. what should be expressed is done, it is OK.
BY THE WAY, WHERE IS THE "Surprise Me!" BUTTON?
Thanks, will appreciate your answer.

| Very deep (by manga standards) by zomgguy on April 7th, 2010, 9:37am |
|
This manga is very deep, by manga standards of course. Needless to say, I'm very used to reading somewhat shallow manga with just action and/or cheap romance. This is very refreshing to say the least. I've come across it a few times on OneManga (via the "Surprise Me!" button) but I was turned away due to the weird title (Negative Happy Chain Saw Edge...seriously?) and terrible description.
Eh, some readers seem to be confused as to the nature of the Chainsaw man. It didn't take me long to realize that Spoiler (highlight to view) it was a metaphor , but maybe that's because I've seen very metaphorical texts before (try understanding Haruki Murakami [a book author]...hah!). That was made clear when Spoiler (highlight to view) Eri described that the Chainsaw man not only fitted her imagination, but grew stronger or weaker along with her emotions. There were also multiple references to him as the cause of evil and sadness of the world.
Overall, I definitely recommend this manga. Very original, most original manga I've ever read with no cliches (none that I could spot) at all. You should definitely read it if you're looking for a break from the typical braindead shounen/shoujo manga. |

| One of a kind- absolutely interesting. by VeryCold on September 4th, 2009, 5:24am |

Now this is a different type of manga, one that is extremely new and refreshing. It reflects delicately upon a boy who is trying to find the true meaning and purpose of his life, and a girl who despite all set backs tries to fight of what she perceives as 'bad' ness.
I suppose we all tend to feel somewhat like that at various times of our life, thinking about the purpose of our lives, trying to find some place where we belong, wondering if anything exciting could ever happen in our boring life-- This manga certainly does show us all these qualities, and is probably a unique experience to everyone.
Definitely worth reading. |

What a heart warming joy to read. Reading this manga left me on the edge of my seat. An enticing read, that never looses your interest, with pitch perfect pacing. (the lead characters are also really really lovable)
If you like manga with action, chainsaws, awesome awesome romance, character development, and amazing plot... than definitely read this manga. If your not into that kind of manga, I bet you'll still love this ^. ^

| good short read by takitogr on June 21st, 2009, 6:03am |

it's a symbolic piece of work...its about a boy trying to find meaning in life, a girl trying to find something or someone to grasp to and the death of a schoolmate...its not depressing at all btw
the art is fantastically elegant...the story is deep and it makes u ponder about things and life in general...lots of symbolisms...and obviously quickbrownfox didnt get it, so dont consider his comments as valid...and yes, quickbrownfox the enemy's motive is explained and that happens way before the last chapter...it's not a hard manga to understand actually and everybody should read it in my opinion...
p.s: somebody should change the description for this manga...it doesn't do justice to the title :/// makes it sound too shallow

| Just awesome... by Yakumo_Fuji on May 11th, 2009, 11:14pm |

Someone complained about a rushed ending.
While it did seem to me as if the author had kinda run out of ideas in the end, I don't see any loose ends, and the "enemy's motive" had been obvious to me since Eri explained her back story.
In case anyone doesn't get it:
Spoiler (highlight to view) There is no Chainsaw Man. The Chainsaw Man is the manifestation of Eris fears and her depression, and has no motivation. It appeared after her family died, it exactly fits the description of her childhood fears, and at last it gets weaker the more happy (when she grows closer to Yousuke) and stronger the more despaired and lonely (When Yousuke needs to move away) she gets - And finally disappears once Yousuke decides to stay with her no matter what, and booth Eri and Yousuke finally overcame their problems (in an chapter that reminded me of the final episodes of Evangelion, which I meant by "run out of ideas").

| Wow. by monkeyvoodoo on February 23rd, 2009, 8:56pm |

This is a really well-written short story that effortlessly made it onto my "required reading" list. It's quite the roller coaster as far as story elements go, but when all is said and done, it's an amazing story about finding purpose and meaning in life. Even if you don't care to read something deep or meaningful, this title doesn't fail to deliver on action, comedy and even a bit of romance.
I don't give out many 10s, but this was awesome.

What... the... f...
Seriously, I had loved this. This could have gone for 8 volumes and I would have loved each and every chapter released.
Except, for some magical reason, the serialization ended in two volumes. Which was horrendous by the way. One thing I could say is that the final chapter was definitely rushed. Maybe not, but if it wasn't, then I would say this is 87.5% awesome (first 7 chaps) and 12.5% crap.
It's difficult to criticize something I had liked, but the ending leaves a lot of loose ends that it ain't even funny. The nicest description would be "Everything ends conveniently." But seriously, the plot just goes poof and the enemy's motive unexplained.
Damn, it's just plain sad when all that character development and tension just disappears in front of you while reading the closing scenes of some manga you had dug. |

| Great piece of art by asdfffdsa on November 29th, 2008, 7:33pm |

This is another of the few unique manga that challenge the reader to meditate over a depressing but realistic matter, in which many can relate as they enter adulthood; the theme is, not surprisingly, quite similar to Welcome to the NHK. Unfortunately, there is also much room for one to miss these ideas, and simply label it an odd action manga.
Nonetheless, I would highly recommend this manga. TAKIMOTO Tatsuhiko is a great author. |
