Denji, a penniless young man drowning in crippling debt, will do anything for money—even hunt devils alongside his loyal pet devil, Pochita. Driven by simple dreams (like eating good food and living comfortably), his miserable life shatters when a trusted ally betrays him. But death becomes rebirth: merging with Pochita, Denji awakens as Chainsaw Man, a being with devilish power.​
