TOP 5 mangas like Chainsaw Man !
While the wait for a confirmed Chainsaw Man Season 2 release date continues, the hype surrounding Denji’s visceral journey remains at an all-time high. To help bridge the gap, we’ve curated five pulse-pounding anime that capture the same dark energy and chaotic spirit.
Chainsaw Man dominated the Fall 2022 season, captivating audiences with its uncompromising violence, a cast of complex anti-heroes, and world-building that is as beautiful as it is grotesque. With rumors suggesting the return of the anime might not happen until 2024, eager fans are searching for something to fill the void left by Public Safety's most notorious Devil Hunter.
Based on the groundbreaking manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the story follows Denji, a young man crushed by his father’s massive debts. His life changes forever when he merges with his canine companion, Pochita, the Chainsaw Devil. Reborn as a human-devil hybrid, Denji is thrust into a high-stakes life of luxury and bloodshed within the government's Public Safety Division—a life where survival always comes with a steep price tag.

5/ Durarara!! (2010)
Seeking the thrill of the big city, Mikado Ryuugamine moves to Ikebukuro, only to find that Tokyo's neon-lit streets hide a world far more dangerous than he imagined. By day, it’s a bustling district; by night, it’s a playground for the eccentric and the lethal. From a headless biker to an information broker who treats humanity like a game, Ikebukuro is a powder keg of urban legends and gang warfare.
While not as overtly gory as Chainsaw Man, Durarara!! shares a similar brand of dark, irreverent humor. Whether it’s a Russian sushi chef insisting his ingredients aren't human, or otaku using manga tropes as torture methods, the series thrives on "joyous chaos." It perfectly captures that sense of a world where the supernatural is just another part of the daily grind.
4/ Blood Blockade Battlefront / Kekkai Sensen (2015)
| Discover the Figure Pochita - Chainsaw Man™ |
When a gateway between Earth and the Beyond opened over New York City, it transformed the metropolis into Hellsalem’s Lot—a bubble where humans and supernatural monsters live in a fragile, chaotic coexistence. Leonardo Watch, a young man with "The All-Seeing Eyes of the Gods," joins Libra, a secret organization of super-powered misfits dedicated to keeping the city’s insanity from spilling over into the rest of the world.
The parallel between Public Safety and Libra is striking. Both series feature reckless, often foolish protagonists (think Leo and Denji) paired with eccentric powerhouses. Kekkai Sensen balances its high-octane action with a raucous, stylish energy, complemented by a soundtrack that—much like Chainsaw Man—is impossible to ignore.
3/ ID: Invaded (2020)
| Discover the Figure Denji "Chainsaw Man" - Chainsaw man™ |
Akihito Narihisago, a brilliant but disgraced detective, sits behind bars after a family tragedy drove him to murder. Yet, his mind remains a tool for the state; using advanced technology, he dives into the "id wells"—virtual manifestations of a killer's unconscious mind—to solve grizzly crimes. As he tracks a mysterious figure known as John Walker, the line between detective and criminal begins to blur.
While ID: Invaded takes a more psychological approach, it echoes Chainsaw Man’s focus on traumatized individuals forced into government service. It’s an absurdly entertaining ride that isn't afraid to lean into the macabre, punctuating its high-concept sci-fi with explosive rock tracks and surrealist action sequences.
2/ Dorohedoro (2020)
| Discover the Figure Power "Weapons of Blood" - Chainsaw Man™ |
Step into "The Hole," a gritty, lawless slum where sorcerers from another dimension treat humans like lab rats. Here we find Caiman, a man with a lizard’s head and no memory of his past. Together with his best friend Nikaido, he hunts down magic-users to find the one responsible for his transformation. Their journey is a surreal fever dream populated by demonic gangsters, sentient giant cockroaches, and enough gyoza to feed an army.
If Chainsaw Man has a spiritual twin, it’s Dorohedoro. Both series masterfully blend visceral gore with nonchalant, dark comedy. Dorohedoro is proudly unsettling and exuberantly macabre, offering a "Welcome to Chaos" atmosphere that feels like a home away from home for fans of Fujimoto’s work.
1/ Akudama Drive (2020)
In a neon-drenched cyberpunk future, the state of Kansai has become a vassal of Kanto, ruled by a police force that executes "enemies of society" on live television. When an ordinary young woman gets tangled up with a group of "Akudama"—the world’s most dangerous S-rank criminals—she is forced into a high-stakes heist that could shatter the foundations of their world.
Akudama Drive is a vibrant wrecking ball of a show. While it leans more into a cartoonish, over-the-top aesthetic, its capacity for sudden, shocking violence easily rivals Chainsaw Man. With a cast including a sadistic doctor, a bloodthirsty serial killer, and a lovable brawler, the series is an unpredictable thrill ride that hits like an alternative rock anthem.
