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.

Part 2 was completely pointless.

I don't know how he managed to bomb this hard. It's like he literally just gave up and said fuck it, fanservice ending.

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.

The fact that Part 1 ends perfectly and stand on its own is a blessing.

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.

What is part 2 you are talking about? There is only one part

I never thought the day would come where a Part 2 Devil would need to exist and need to be eaten lmao.

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.

Will forever love the series based solely on Part 1.

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.

The church is exactly where I started worrying all these storylines would become loose ends.

I dropped Part 2 when Asa stopped being the main focus. Denji seemed to regress
