And I finish Chainsaw Man, but only its first part, because surprisingly, the second announcement that was related to this manga was its continuation, although better said, Chainsaw Man will have two more continuations and just finished the first one, 1 of 3 next sequels that are coming soon, although there is no exact date, but it is estimated to start from next year. No doubt a surprise nobody expected. The other news that goes along with the continuation of the manga is that now Chainsaw Man will stop being published in the Shonen Jump and from its 2nd part it will be published in the ShonenPlus digitally, being this media much freer at the moment of the censorship, so the next thing that comes from Chainsaw Man, will be much more gore and violent than usual, besides giving its creator, a little more freedom at the moment of publishing. Because in MangaPlus, besides being less strict with everything related to censorship, it also gives mangkas much more flexibility to publish. So in total it was 3 news regarding Chainsaw Man, the first one is that the manga is going to continue, and it will have 2 more parts, the second one is that now it is going to be published in ShonenPlus and the 3rd news is the one we all expected and the most logical one: Adaptation to anime, the most expected by all fans of this manga, is that Chainsaw Man will be adapted to anime and will be produced and created by Mappa, an animation studio that is currently taking care of the 4th season of Shingeki no Kyojin and Jujutsu Kaisen anime. This is a studio that has done good work, so Chainsaw Man is in good hands.
Chainsaw Man 97 "I, Love, Chainsaw Man" begins with a color image with the different types of food Denji has made with Makima's body, different types of food, to end the "love" of his life. Then Denji is seen walking the Makima dogs and Power's cat, and in a park he meets Kishibe. The two begin to talk while some children begin to play with the dogs.
Denji begins by saying that he ate everything (he ate all of Makima) and that she didn't come back from her stomach or her shit. Kishibe asks Denji how he could "kill" Makima since the attacks don't work on her. Denji answers that he didn't mean to kill her or hurt her, he just wanted to be part of her, and that is love. He says all this while petting one of Makima's dogs. Kishibe responds and tells her that her method probably worked by chance, that somehow Denji was able to break the contract by which Makima can relive every moment.
Kishibe asks the question that we all asked in past chapters: How could Denji attack Makima if she can perceive everything? Denji with a rather sad look answers Kishibe that Because of all the conversations she had with Makima in the past and all the things they had to live through, she realized that Makima perceives people by their sense of smell, and that she doesn't really remember the faces of the people she is not interested in, but remembers the essence and smell of the people she is really interested in. So, as he ripped Pochita out of his body and just held on to Power's blood for a few moments, he realized that Makima never paid attention to him (Denji), he was only interested in the Chainsaw Man (Friend Zone).
The children who were playing with the dogs leave, but there is still a girl who is still playing with a dog, Denji tells her to leave, since they are talking about secret things, however, that girl bites Denji's finger and immediately Denji recognizes that bite. And it turns out that this little girl is "Makima" or rather, she is the Control Demon that has been revived. Kishibe says he found her in China and stole her. But that she is no longer Makima. Since Makima died and that girl should have no memories of her previous life. But that if that girl is left in the care of the government she will become Makima again and things will go back to the way they were.
Kishibe tells Denji to leave the girl with him, since he (Kishibe) is very busy and that leaving her with Denji is his best option. But before Denji refused Kishibe's request, she had already disappeared.
Leaving Denji with the child. Denji asks the girl her name and she answers: "Nayuta". Then he asks her what she wants to eat, and that it be anything but meat. Nayuta answers "bread". And after that they both go home.
They eat and sleep together as a family. And on a subconscious level, Denji meets Pochita, hugs him and Pochita tells Denji that: His dream was that someone would hug him, and that in spite of being such a simple dream, because he was very strong and they were very afraid of him, he could never achieve it and that it was Denji who was able to fulfill his dream.
But he also tells her that he wants Denji to fulfill the Control Demon's dream. Pochita tells her that the Control Demon always wanted to create equal relationships with others, that she always wanted to have a family, but she could only form relationships through fear (all this because she was corrupted by the government or so I understand). Pochita asks Denji to create the dream world of the demon of control. Denji asks Pochita how he can do it.
And the answer is: hugs, a lot of hugs, that is, love and affection, something that working and being raised by the government, never had. All this, while we see Denji hugging Nayuta.
After this, they change the scene and we see a demon attacking in the city, while people run away from him, people start talking about the Chainsaw Man and say: Killing demons in the Chainsaw Man's passage, they say that he only saves women and they wonder if he is human. In parallel to this, we see the rope coming out of Denji's chest, while one last person says that: There is a rumor that the Chainsaw Man is a high school student. And on the last page, we see Denji in a school uniform, ready to transform himself into the Chainsaw Man to fight. Thus ending the first part and arc of this wonderful manga, which they called: Part 1 Public Security Arc.
And so ends Chainsaw Man, surprising us all, not only with the expected anime, but also with a continuation of his manga. Very surprised and excited by what is coming up with Chainsaw Man.
