Chainsaw Man, the award-winning supernatural action manga, has been receiving a lot of criticism from readers. Many fans have been planning to drop the manga recently, and if you are wondering what could be the reason for such disapproval,
The main reason is that the manga has been dropping in quality; most of the characters that the readers were attached to are already dead.
HEAVY SPOILERS AHEAD
So, there is nothing left for them to make them stay with the manga. The last straw was Power’s death, and many readers dropped Chainsaw Man after Power died because she was every reader’s favorite character.
Power and Aki’s absence in the series left a significant void for the readers. They were not as attached to the manga without Power and Aki’s presence. Apart from that, the readers are not very impressed with the world-building of Chainsaw Man.
Even though Aki had an incredible back story and outstanding powers, he had to die because Tatsuki Fujimoto enjoys killing readers’ favorite characters and seeing them suffer in misery.
Fans are bashing Chainsaw Man for the bad execution, even though the manga had a great concept and some amazing characters. It failed to meet the hype of the manga, even though Part 1 was well-liked by the readers.
Chainsaw Man Part 2 fell off; it is a fast-paced story. But the lack of character development throughout the series makes Chainsaw Man very unlikable as a manga.
Readers have failed to get attached to any character after witnessing so many deaths in the manga. The characters are introduced with a tragic backstory but then get killed a few chapters later.
So, it is not easy for the readers to feel emotionally attached to any characters in the manga. The art style is the only thing keeping the reader’s interest in Chainsaw Man so far.
The story keeps following the same pattern, which becomes draggy and uninteresting at one point. The amount of fan service is very off-putting for many viewers, and they do not enjoy it anymore, even though it was somewhat humorous in the beginning.
Fans are still staying with Chainsaw Man manga?
Some readers have stopped reading Chainsaw Man manga. And on the other hand, even though fans are trashing the Chainsaw Man manga, many readers are still not planning to drop the manga. They have been following the story since day 1, and it is hard for them to drop it when they have come a long way.
Many readers were not impressed when they found out the identity of the Devil, even though many readers had already dropped the manga after Part 1.
Many fans are still sticking with the manga because they enjoyed reading Chainsaw Devil, and they think that it is an extremely powerful concept.
Considering mangaka, Fujimoto used many symbolism and metaphors to execute his work with a unique concept.
Fans are losing interest in the manga mainly because they find Denji’s character boring without Aki and Power.
However, they are still curious to find out about Chainsaw Devil’s power, so sticking around with the manga until the very end does not seem like a terrible deal to them.
The lack of action and the absence of favorite characters
Many fans are dropping the manga because of the flow of the story in Part 2. The lack of action and slow pacing are not things they enjoy reading.
Chainsaw Man Part 2 is more character-focused, and the absence of character in Part 1 makes this part very uninteresting for them.
Even though Asa is very popular among the fandom, readers have been reading the manga since Part 1. Do not like the new characters much even the villains are not very interesting.
Readers think that they are not as cool as the cast from Part 1. Even though Asa has a great fan following and support from the fandom so far, it would never make up for the support and love Power, and Aki received from the fandom in Part 1.
