Tatsuki Fujimoto's Chainsaw Man manga series is something special, connecting with fans all over the world in a way only Chainsaw Man can. One of the most special aspects of the series is its lovable band of misfit characters. In March, Weekly Shonen Jump ran the series' second character poll, letting fans pick between all the characters seems in the series (and we mean ALL the characters and more) to find their favorite.
620,045 fans voted and yesterday the Weekly Shonen Jump website announced the results of the poll, informing Chainsaw Man fans all around the world who is "official" the best character in the series.

The English version was simulpubbed on Viz Media’s Shonen Jump app, who are also releasing physical volumes of the series. Viz describes the first volume as such:
Denji’s a poor young man who’ll do anything for money, even hunting down devils with his pet devil-dog Pochita. He’s a simple man with simple dreams, drowning under a mountain of debt. But his sad life gets turned upside down one day when he’s betrayed by someone he trusts. Now with the power of a devil inside him, Denji’s become a whole new man—Chainsaw Man!
