Chainsaw Man
Denji has a simple dream—to live a happy and peaceful life, spending time with a girl he likes. This is a far cry from reality, however, as Denji is forced by the yakuza into killing devils in order to pay off his crushing debts. Using his pet devil Pochita as a weapon, he is ready to do anything for a bit of cash.

That first season masterfully layers psychological depth beneath its chaotic action and fanservice elements. Denji's hypersexuality emerges as a profound response to trauma from a life of deprivation, turning physical intimacy into a proxy for unmet emotional needs. Psychosexual themes weave sex with violence and manipulation, refreshing shounen conventions through a bold examination of desires.
