Chainsaw Man Storyline
The story revolves around Denji, a young man living in a world inhabited by humans and devils. He has some minor ambitions in life, mostly to live a happy and calm life. He has piled up an insane debt though and is forced by the yakuza to hunt devils in exchange. He uses his pet, Pochita as a weapon. He was later killed off by a devil hired by the yakuza.
Denji was saved by Pochita after some twisted events, as the pet merged with him, and thus gave him the power of the chainsaw devil. Denji now became capable of transforming parts of his body into chainsaws and went off to clean up the hordes of devils. He was also recruited into the Public Safety Bureau, and officially started working as a devil hunter.
