Plot
In this world, devils are born from human fears, while the greater the fear of a person, the stronger the devil… A few years ago, Denji lost his father, who could not come to terms with endless, monthly growing debts and committed suicide. But the man did not know that the one to whom he owed a lot of money would come to demand it from his son. The boy had no choice but to accept his fate: he knew that the yakuza would keep their word and kill him in the morning if Denji did not bring the money. But life turned out to be favorable to the unfortunate boy.
Out of nowhere, a devil dog appeared. There was a chainsaw in his head and his eyes were filled with anger. It wasn’t until a moment later that Denji realized that the half-animal’s eyes were talking about something else — pain, because the dog had been mortally wounded. It didn’t take long to think: Denji gave his blood to the animal by making a contract with it. From now on, they will live and survive together. With the help of a chainsaw, a guy could have a small, but still income: cut down trees, destroy devils. There was not enough money, and the dream of a quiet life with his girlfriend seems like a pipe dream.

Everything changes on the day when the main character’s boss lured Denji and Pochita to an unknown place. It turned out that the yakuza made a contract with the devil, and now his goal is to kill Denji, a hunter of his kind. After the death of the guy, Pochita, at the cost of his life, gave his beloved owner a second chance. Now they are one. Forever and ever. Now Denji is a guy who can turn into a chainsaw at any moment…
