In the previous chapter, Yoru geared up for another attack on the Aging Devil. However, the Aging Devil countered with a “bang” attack, which threw Yoru (in Asa’s body) into a different world.
Asa, thinking she was having another of her recurring dreams, woke up in a forest near a lake, only to find an untransformed Denji sleeping beside her. Yoru then seized control of their shared body, attempting to kill Denji, despite him not being her primary target. But for some reason, Yoru’s powers failed to work, which scared her enough to let Asa regain control.
Chainsaw Man Chapter 180 Recap
Soon after, a man approached Asa and explained that the world they were in was a construct of the Aging Devil. The man recounted how he came to this place after joking about forming a contract with the Aging Devil while passing a mirror.
He had been stuck there for 82 years and mentioned that while the inhabitants of this world seemed to be immortal, many had lost their sanity. The chapter concluded with the man cryptically mentioning that someone had once escaped but refused to give any further details before seemingly losing his mind.

What to Expect from Chapter 181?
In Chapter 181, readers will likely get to see the narrative shift to Denji’s perspective, especially since he hasn’t had much dialogue or significant screen time since Chapter 171. Given that Nayuta’s death hasn’t been addressed, it’s probable that Denji will take center stage in this upcoming chapter. Additionally, fans can expect tension between Asa and Yoru as they confront each other over Yoru’s attempt to kill Denji. This confrontation will likely lead to a heated exchange, with Yoru threatening to kill Asa, while Asa may respond indifferently due to the grim circumstances they find themselves in.
