اعععععع خیلی راز بدی بودددد نباید این اتفاق آخرش میفتاددددد ولی کاملا میشد از این نویسنده حدس زد که قراره کار سادیسمی انجام بده مخصوصا که فضای خیلی آروم با گل و آسمان و ساختمون نشون میداد🥲💔
The Chainsaw Man series has fully gotten into its stride now, this was one of my favourite volumes so far! It’s so funny at times, and the lack of Power was absolutely made up for by Asa/Yoru 🖤 They’re quickly becoming one of my favourite characters, a Jekyll & Hyde type-situation going on. Denji is desperate to be outed as Chainsaw Man - but is he being almost too obvious at school? His classmates are starting to think that he just a super fanboy.
So annoying there’s no cover art yet for the English edition 😅 I read on the Shonen Jump app, so I get the chapters wayyy before the volumes are released !!
The high school arc continues. Denji is a side character for now, but the story is intriguing enough. It doesn't seem wholly necessary yet given what has gone before, but there are some of the twists and shocks one expects from this series.

2.5⭐️ Part 1: Public Safety Saga (volumes 1-11) really got my attention and was wonderful but Part 2: Academy Saga is not as good as Part 1. I know it's soon to say this because it only has two volumes but, for me, it's so boring... I've been reading the weekly chapters and I don't like it as much as I did when I read Part 1
Better than the previous one but still not great. Asa and Denji's interaction was good and I'm curious about their relationship. However, I'm kind of annoyed at Denji. After everything that's happened, he is still childish and thinks about girls. So, he might really be a devil more than a human (like Power who was childish and had silly goals). The whole thing with Yuko caught me off-guard. It was a good volume but I'm honestly reading it because I'm too invested.
I'm so mixed about this volume. I do genuinely like Asa and Denji's interactions, and I'm curious how that relationship (not as in shipping, as in two people who interact) will develop over arc two. But the rest...it's right back to stereotypical Shonen tropes. Also, Denji's current goal is so stupid, and it makes me actually aggravated every time it's brought up. Asa having to run around in her underwear also pissed me off. Like, come the hell on, was it necessary for the TEENAGE GIRL to be running about in her damn drawers?! This series has an annoying problem was sexualizing the bejesus out of the teenage characters, and it's been grating. I excused it at first since it was originally from Denji's viewpoint, and he is a "dumb horny teenager". But now that it's not, it's so goddamn irritating. The "twist" was pretty sad, but again, so god damn cliche. Oh, and I forget to mention it in my review of the previous volume, but. The little fourth wall breaks are really annoying and need to stop. Doing the "it's not like we're in a manga!" or "It's like we're manga characters!" thing is cutely cheeky once or twice, but multiple times in a single volume? Stop. Once was enough.
This volume is a whole lot of twists and turns on Yuko’s twisted and crazy personality! She’s not the person that Asa think she is! 😵💫 Also, who is that “shadow” Chainsaw Man attacking the Justice Devil?
This volume’s pacing is slow first but gets better on as the chapter goes on because Yuko’s Justice Devil form got decapitated by “shadow” Chainsaw Man!
The best moment for me in this volume is when Asa Mitaka transformed her uniform into a weapon (beat that, Sailor Moon!!) 🤣. Also loving the moment when Asa is asking Denji out for a date! 😍🥰
Read Viz Media Chapter 112 (11th out of possibly 11 chapters) Vol. 13 on Nov. 22, 2022 - And, the mysterious "Anything for my little sister" girl keeps appearing in this chapter! Who is she?
And if we're finally getting a date between Asa and Denji, I can’t wait for the next chapter! Oh my gosh!! I ship them so much already!!! 😄🥰😍
There’s also a philosophical chapter here between “Cat” and “Criminal”. Where do you compromise when choosing to kill criminals against innocent ones? Your emphasized the necessary evil just like how Tatsuki Fujimoto utilized that concept to mould Makima’s personality in Chainsaw Man Part 1. 😳
Actual chapters are from 104-112

Loved this!! As with Vol. 12, this is a bit of a departure from the first few arcs of the series since this is the second part of the Chainsaw Man overall story. Denji is more of a side character right now, which I at first wasn't super into, but I have to admit that the Asa/Yoru story arc is growing on me, and I totally get needing to spend more time with her character as it develops considering what Yoru's ultimate goal is. I LOVE the way the characters interact without really knowing who the other truly is, and I love the mystery we get from the Devil Hunter Club -- definitely makes the high school time spent a lot more interesting.
Unexpectedly, the Asa / Yuko relationship hit me in my sad little heart and I looooved the end to this. Sad shit always gets me, I am who I am!
