I'm saying Fami set Asa up to die so she would become the War Devil's host.

Chapter out. All signs seems to be pointing towards Famine wanting to weaken Chainsaw man right now.

[up]

Well, we knew there were two Chainsaw Men more or less, but Fami flat out telling it to Asa and Yoru is certainly a Conflict Killer....maybe. I'm sure it's far more complicated than that.

I'm also wondering what Denji is gonna do now.

Ha, Asa became Nemu from Witch Watch there for a second. Also, Denji's Chainsaw Man form is orange (like Pochita), right? Yet he is being called the "red" Chainsaw Man, which confused me for a minute.

I love War Devil constantly going "No, stop having romantic flashbacks!" and "Are you putting together sappy poems in your head?!"

I'm not gonna lie: Yoru yelling at Asa for having flashbacks made me cackle for a good while. that is great comedic timing.

As for the Chainsawman thing, it seems Fami is trying to lure out the Chainsawman form we saw defeat Mikama. Maybe the plan is to separate Pochita and Denji so Asa can have Denji and Yoru can have her deathmatch with Pochita? Still don't know what her goal is, if she's trying to save the world from being destroyed, removing chainsaw man seems like a poor choice...

Asa's taste in men needs some work, she's fallen for Denji twice now.

In her (very limited) defense, it seems like Asa immediately falls for any guy who pays even the slightest non-negative attention to her, which is so sad that it’s hilarious. (I mean this affectionately; she is a complete trainwreck and I love her for it)

Less hilarious when you familiar with the circumstances of people that do the same thing, at least Denji isn’t the worst person for her to develop affection for.

Sure—when I said “sad”, I actually did mean “sad” because of how horrendous her backstory is and just how badly her life has gone up to now that the bare minimum human decency (even when combined with Denji’s, uh, colorful personality) leaves Asa immediately feeling attached.

I love it because you very rarely see a female character be this pathetic in manga. Usually their shortcomings are played for moe appeal, but naw Asa's a full on loser who gets treated like such by her peers.

in a fascinating twist on the genre, both Asa and Denji are both so equally pahetic that they might actually make a cute couple.

I’ve maintained Asa and Denji’s legendary anti-chemistry wraps around into being a sick sort of ultra-chemistry.

I think the fact that Asa's flaws are presented so earnestly is part of the reason she works so well as the protagonist of part ii, and why she works so well as a foil for Denji.

They might both be losers, but their flaws and lives are very different, so they compliment each other.

[up] I talked about this before, but it's really neat how Chainsaw Man has so many female characters, and they're flawed in ways that don't simply make them Waifu-bait.

Well any character is gonna get sufficient art if audiences are attracted to the them in some manor.

Like in a none-anime example, God of War Ragnarok is far from a sexualized game but Freya has received a surprising amount of fan-work.

Chainsawman is basically a shoujou romance manga now.

I deeply appreciate how the gruesome action drama comedy has added romcom to the list of genres, and done so by featuring two pathetic losers who're somehow perfect for one another.

Why do people keep forgetting about Reze? I say that because there were those 3-4 chapters with her during part 1, that also where like a romantic comedy, so this is nothing new. What changed is the amount of rom-com chapters we get, since it seems more integral to Asa's character than Denji's.

If the Chainsaw Man Pt. 2 cast had Twitter, by RG33.

I wonder how Yuko would react if she found out Asa does like Chainsaw Man now.
