Chainsaw Man Box Set Paperback – September 26, 2023

Let me just throw out there I am an older fan of manga & anime. I am in my late 30's, and loved manga and anime since my teen years. Saying that, I am mostly a fan of older stuff (mostly from the 80's & 90's), but I tend to dabble in new stuff too.Chainsaw Man is definitely one of myifavorites coming out so far. It's checks all the boxes for me, it's weird, got a really great story, and some great art to it.One thing I should point out for the manga for those who haven't read it yet: it's art style is a little different here than it is in the anime. It's not as refined as the art in the anime, and comes off as being a bit scratchy in some ways. Personally, i REALLY enjoyed this style, but I did notice some saying they didn't like the art as much as the anime and I get it, the art in the anime is too notch.The box set itself was pretty good. The images on the box are great, and doesn't feel all cheap. The volumes , and their covers themselves are the same as the singles you can buy individually, you're not getting any alternate covers or additional chapters/volumes, no extras here. Just a box with the 11 singles and the very small poster. The poster is REALLY small, but still cool to see.This box set is definitely worth it of you loved the anime. You're gonna get a great read with some REALLY great art, a great story, and interesting characters. If you already own all the singles, though, you can pass on this one.My major gripe though, is that Amazon is clumsy with their box packing. There was barely any packing materials, and actual manga box had some minor damage to it the lid was a little bent down the middle, and there is a big indentation on a side. This makes me REALLY wary.

The package came in with the box (Amazon delivery box) being damaged and beaten, which had me worried about the item inside to be damaged as well, but thankfully it was in near-perfect quality with little to no imperfections. The box set was sealed in a plastic cover which prevented it from getting dirty or dusty. Inside, the books are, quite frankly, the highest quality manga I've ever bought and there were, once again, barely any imperfections. The pages looked crystal clear with the highest quality printing I have ever seen in a manga.The price is very cheap for the quality that they're offering (assuming it's the discounted price) and it's definitely a must-buy for any collectors, or for anyone for that matter.As for the series, it's for sure one of the if not the best manga I've ever read. I am a huge fan of Fujimoto's work. The story and the art are out of this world. If you haven't read any of his work, I definitely recommend reading Chainsaw Man.

Swept I was, by the audacity, the raw surge that is Tatsuki Fujimoto's craft. This is no mere manga; it is an experience visceral, a force that seizes you by the scruff and relents not. The box set, to which I ascribe a steadfast 5 out of 5 stars, stands as a testament to the narrative's grip, its power to captivate, to hold fast the mind of the reader.Upon its arrival, the package spoke of promise. The box, a bastion of art, robust and alive, its images leaping forth, demanding the gaze of all who pass. It was evident, the care, the precision taken in its creation. Each volume within, a portal to chaos, to the hunt of devils, where heroes and antiheroes dance upon the line of shadow and light.The poster, a riot of color, of frenzy, came unexpected, a boon, though tales tell of some sets bereft of this jewel. A slight mar upon what is otherwise a presentation without blemish. The volumes, mirrors of their singular brethren, offer no surprise but the comfort of their collective embrace.In the tale of Denji, of his devil chainsaw Pochita, I found terror and mirth intertwined. Fujimoto's narrative is bold, unyielding, steeped in blood. It recoils not from the grotesque but weaves amidst the carnage threads of warmth, of jest.The cast, a tapestry of complexity, each a spiral of their own making, winding through the tale. Denji's ascent, from the depths of a hunter's plight to a stature grand and cryptic, is a journey untamed, a path strewn with the unexpected.The dance of action is a spectacle, each sequence a burst of movement, a visual symphony that thrums with life, with the finality of death. It is a feast for the eyes, each panel a meticulous work, vibrant with existence.In sum, the Chainsaw Man box set is more than a mere assembly of volumes. It is an odyssey, an immersion into a narrative singular in its thrill, its uniqueness. For the devotee or the neophyte, this collection is a keystone, an essential piece of the manga pantheon. It is an ode to the form, a paean to the genre, a journey wild, fueled by the roar of chainsaws, not to be forsaken.

On time in good shape for a great price

I LOVE IT. It came with a double sided poster and it come with all 11 books intact

I waited 1-3 months before reviewing, and everything is great, just as advertised. I’m a collector (I also read) and I don’t have any complaints.. the series is great and the books too.Now here are something’s to keep in mind. With this chainsaw man box set the prints are Italian instead of US. Now this is not an Amazon thing, rather a Viz M thing, I noticed no difference, in fact some people even say Italian prints are better. However they are technically cheaper, but unless you’re a professional at collecting manga, you won’t notice a thing.

For the price I got them, this set is a steal. The best part of the series in a set, plus a cool ahh poster (double sided) and a box for convenient storage/lending. I recommend this option for people wanting to read the manga.

Package was a bit damaged but the books were in good condition. I was only disappointed about the collector's box being a bit beat up.
