 What a wild ride.  Denji is a boy from the street who has had little love, affection, or even human contact.  His father dies and leaves him with a 700,000 yen debt.  The only way for him to survive is to pay off this debt and live on pieces of bread. In his world Devils exist.  Most are deadly, but some are cute, including the “dog” he comes to love.  This devil dog becomes his heart which allows Denji to transform into the ultimate killing machine Chainsaw man.  This helps him pay off his debt and rise in society.  This book is so freaking good!  Towards the middle Denji becomes obsessed with boobs, but with his upbringing it is understandable.  THere is a full cast of characters, some you love like the Fiend, and some you hate like his “savior”. This was such a great read.  Can not wait to pick up book 2.
