Fans complained that the second part of the manga has lost its uniqueness and looks like typical shounen stories.
The author of the manga Chainsaw Man, Fujimoto Tatsuki, is remembered by readers for his unusual plots, bright visual style and rather bold decisions. However, not all of his works are rated equally highly. The second part of Chainsaw Man is often criticized by fans. Many of them believe that it lacks a special author's style and therefore is much inferior to other projects.
What is the second part about?
In the second part of Chainsaw Man the main character Denji finds himself in an unusual situation: on the one hand, as a Сhainsaw Man he is a star, and on the other — an ordinary high school student. At school, he is treated as a slightly insane classmate who earns his living by questionable part-time jobs — he collects garbage and offers people to sit on his back. At the same time, the fame of Сhainsaw Man is huge — he is constantly discussed on television, there is even a church of his name and strange doppelgangers pretending to be him.
The first part of the Chainsaw Man manga impresses with the frantic speed of the plot development. The main character is constantly fighting. There is no time to slow down and enjoy ordinary life. In the second part, the narrative changes. At the beginning, Fujimoto introduces a new protagonist and her story is similar in pace to the first part, but soon Denji appears and the plot slows down noticeably.
Fan Claims
Fans expressed the idea that the second part of the manga has lost its uniqueness and looks like typical shonen stories. Some suggested that the problem was the editor, who asked Fujimoto to make the story for a wider audience. But the truth is that Fujimoto hasn't changed the editor since the first part. Moreover, authors gain some independence when they publish their work for more than a year.
Others believe that the creator of the Chainsaw Man story simply decided to tell a more measured story that fits the school theme. And the real problem is that the audience immediately starts blaming the authors when the plot doesn't develop the way they want it to.
There is also the opinion that it is impossible to judge a work that is not finished yet. Especially to judge the depth of its plot. To confirm their words, fans say that the first part of Chainsaw Man is revealed after a considerable amount of time.
It's hard to say who is right in this discussion. The depth and uniqueness of the story is usually revealed towards the end of the story. Time will tell if these concerns were valid or not.
