Hi there This is my first review on AniList and Im just going to clarify that the way these reviews are all formatted will all pretty much be the same way. I usually write my reviews on MyAnimeList so Im just putting my reviews on here as well. Still hope everyone is able to enjoy them. DISCLAIMER: GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT SPOILERS FOR THE MANGA IN THIS REVIEW. This Light Novel is definitely made to be read after reading the manga...at least Part One Volumes 111 so Im just gonna make this on the review that youve read the manga and are just wondering if you should read this as well or not. Well well...its been a bit again since Ive done a review for something. Ive been going through some stuff as of writing this thats happened very recently thats gonna be affecting my living situation so Im gonna have to put this stuff on hold probably post Ergo Proxy since I have one episode of that series left. Anyways onto the review Ill discuss more than that later: The Narrative: Overall the stories cause yes this is a collection of multiple stories featuring multiple characters are all very wellwritten and have their own variety and charms. A detective parody adventure with Denji and Power on a mission with just the two of them a younger Kishibe and Quanxi do a job together with a Devil Hunter Trainee that changes them both Aki and Himeno get some time together doing one of their first jobs together and Denji Power Aki and Makima go on vacation to Enoshima and hijinx ensues. All of which are of decent quality to the point where I dont have any favorite of the bunch. I think that as a companion piece to the manga it adds more character and depth to things that either werent really touched upon in the manga or only got a small amount of time. Overall the stories are all wellwritten they all get the right amount of time and all of them are really great to read. Overall A+ stuff. The Characters: Well overall theres not that much to say regarding the characters since in my opinion theyre all characters from the manga for the most part minus two original characters who arent mentioned ever again outside of this Light Novel for all I know. Everyone definitely acts how youd expect them to if youve read the manga and youre a fan of pretty much every character like I am and the two original characters are good enough in their own rights to justify their existence. Thats...pretty much it honestly. Agrade stuff. The Visuals: This section is also gonna be really brief but Id like to bring this up cause theyre a thing in this Light Novel. Overall with more peak art from Fujimotosan its really great stuff and its ALLL original to this Novel. Gives the novel a little more character and helps us visualize some of the stuff thats being described. We dont get to see Enzo whos the original character in the first chapter with Denji and Power but we do at least get to see Minami the trainee I mentioned during Kishibe and Quanxis chapter so its nice to at least get a visualization of her. But yeah every chapter gets its own piece of art and its all really nice A++ stuff as always. The Conclusion: Well like I said before. This should definitely be read AFTER finishing the Public Safety Arc Part 1 which compromises of Volumes 111 but its a real treat if youre willing to read it and its just more Chainsaw Man action...can you really complain about that? Its wellwritten has the same energy as the manga but in novel form and its a nice companion piece to the manga itself. Id say if youre a big enough fan of the manga its DEFINITELY worth a read. I certainly enjoyed it and had no complaints about it.
