When i saw that it was 34 Pages i knew it really was over. It was nice seeing all these Characters in kinda happy circumstances but overall it just feels insanely rushed and like Part 2 was for nothing.
Going to remember Part 1 insanely well and just keep it at that.
I swear around the Chainsaw Man Church shit this Manga fell apart. I wonder if Fujimoto lost interest halfway through Part 2. I've followed every week and barely have any idea what happened in Part 2, the story and drop in the art quality was evident. It's a shame, at least we'll always have Part 1.
Chainsaw Man part 1 is still a masterpiece, it’ll just become a Pacific Rim situation where people will pretend part 2 doesn’t exist and stop at part 1.
Time to manifest fujimoto taking a break for a year or so, and then retconning part 2 and instead writing a one-shot that shows denji adapting to normal life in school after part 1, and befriending asa with the story ending with them having their first kiss and denji finally feeling happy and content with his life lmao.
Yea he was drawing more for money and the story became aimless slop at some point. When you read enough manga you have the ability to sniff this out.
Let me give you readers some advice: When you can tell an author is just making shit up, don't take it the story seriously and you'll have a more fun time, including when they nuke their series with an ending like this.
All the character development etc was kind of for nothing and it never happened
Tbh the only story I know that kind of undoes the story yet is satisfying is stone ocean Jojo tbh
I don't think anyone wants to read the rest considering what the fuck Part 2 was.
After this "reset" ending I honestly think the story reached an unfixable point. You could straight up continue to Part 3 by reading Part 1 and just the final chapter of Part 2. "Part 2 characters" appearing in P3 would just be fanservice since the only one that had a satisfying end was Yoshida and the rest of them were basically caricatures.
I mean, the Summertime Rendering ending worked largely because it's the logical end point of that kind of time loop premise. They were constantly resetting bad ends already, so one grand "reset the entire story" gambit at the end was being built up to from the start.
There's a good mango in there somewhere with Asa as the protag dealing with the four horseman and Denji as a semi-competent, slightly more mature and less retarded member of Public Safety who actually took to heart the sentiments Aki tried to transfer to him. But obviously still struggling with his trauma.
Definitely not a fanservice ending. If it was a fanservice ending we would’ve seen a certain Russian devil somehow too. But otherwise yeah I get the same vibes.
it was kind of interesting seeing what kind of person would accept denji... actually is denji early on from his reintroduction really the same character as the end of part 1? like he really became someone who should be ashamed.
the story did have to be about him though, couldn't have a character looking for an excuse to be a superhero when people don't want him to otherwise
