Denji
Also known as: Chainsaw Man
A debt-slave orphan who merged with his chainsaw devil-dog Pochita and became Chainsaw Man, dreaming of nothing grander than bread with jam and someone to hold. Every authority figure exploits his hunger for affection, which is exactly what fic interrogates.

Other Chainsaw Man Characters
Aki Hayakawa
9k works
A Public Safety devil hunter who sold years of his life to the Future Devil for revenge on the Gun Devil, then accidentally became the den mother of two feral teenagers. His topknot, his cigarettes, and his ending broke the fandom in equal measure.
Power
7k works
The Blood Fiend, a horned gremlin of lies, filth, and self-aggrandizement who loves exactly one cat and, eventually, one boy — platonically, ferociously. Her contract with Denji to come find her after rebirth is the manga's most devastating promise.
Makima
6k works
The Control Devil wearing the face of a kind Public Safety boss, who curated Denji's entire life like a farmer raising livestock. Anime's defining manipulator of the decade — fic writes her straight as horror, or rewinds her into something almost capable of love.
Reze
4k works
A Soviet-made Bomb Devil hybrid sent to steal Chainsaw Man's heart, who fell a little bit in love with the boy she was assassinating. The cafe, the rain, and the country mouse speech made the Bomb Girl arc the fandom's favorite doomed romance.
