Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man. A pretty common recommendation on this site recently. But it’s true. The two are very similar.

Both began in Weekly Shōnen Jump in the year of 2018, and are darker and edgier battle shōnen manga. Both have a horror theme, similar art styles and both also take place in modern day Tokyo.

However, there are differences. Jujutsu Kaisen is more traditional, having more clean-ish art than Chainsaw Man, and isn’t as dark, messed up and morbid as that manga is. Jujutsu Kaisen is really reminding me of Chainsaw Man the more I read it. Fans of one should really check out the other. read more

So, you finished part 1 of Chainsaw Man and you're eagerly waiting for part 2? I can't think of a better series to pass that wait time than Jujutsu Kaisen. It scratches the same modern-setting, horror-action, occult-centered itch that Chainsaw Man appeals to without being so similar that you've already seen it before. 

The two series' plots premises are remarkably similar at a glance, but they diverge well when it comes to their themes and how they handle their "edginess." Like CSM, JJK makes time for humor that generally lands, but its humor is far less morbid and lends JJK a far more typical-shounen feel. However, JJK doesn't pull its punches - this series is just as dark and its conflicts are nearly as costly as CSM's devil exterminations.

A similarly rough but otherwise distinct artstyle makes JJK easy on the eyes as well, with great paneling and distinct character design to boot. If you're a fan of the messy-yet-organized feeling Fujimoto's art brings to the table, Gege Akutami cranks that up to an eleven with thick lineart and liberal use of dark ink and hatching, creative use of forced perspective, and exaggerated expressions to give its art an even more chaotic and intense feeling.

Overall, while JJK and CSM both have dark, edgy, and supernatural tones JJK stands apart from CSM as a distinctly separate approach to these similar themes, and I would call it a must-read for anyone who enjoys Chainsaw Man. read more

Firstly, the protagonists have +/- the same objectives: They are used as guinea pigs to eat "Fingers / Demon Parts" that if they survive they gain power / remain alive, if they cannot die or be killed !!!

reportRecommended by naim_nakano

This is an obvious recommendation, but it's obvious for a reason!

I think of Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw man as sister mangas, kind of. Besides coming out around the same time, they are extremely similar plotwise and there are a lot of parallells between characters and the roles they play in the story. There are some crucial differences though. CSM is a LOT darker and grittier than JJK, in style and theme. CSM's main character Denji comes from a shitty upbringing and his life gets progressively worse. If you, like me, thought the jujutsu sorcerer kids were having a rough time and wanted them to catch a break, Chainsaw Man will make you tear your hair out. 

The story might seem like your standard, shallow, punch-slash-explosion-boobs-bloodsplatter shonen manga, but if you want to get into it, the story has a lot of hidden (or not-so-hidden depending on whether you possess basic reading comprehension skills or not) depth! It's got some of the most interesting, sympathetic and honest takes on psychological trauma that I've ever seen. (You can also read it just for the fight scenes and tits if that's your thing, it does that well too!)
The characters are also, just like in JJK, wonderful, and despite (or maybe because of) their abrasiveness and moral ambiguity/straight up lack of morals, they are all very charismatic!

Jujutsu kaisen is similar to Chainsaw man due to:

1- The organizations that fight against evil.

JJK: We have the sorcerers that fight against the curses (spirits) that threaten humanity. Sorcerers are controlled by the Jujutsu Technical High Schools which assign missions to the sorcerers.

CSM: There are the demon hunters who fight against the demons that threaten humanity.
The demon hunters are commanded by the organization known as the Public Security Demon Hunters who assign missions to the demon hunters.

2- Powers and abilities.

JJK: They use ritual techniques based on cursed energy (what curses are made of) to fight curses (hypocrisy).

CSM: Demon hunters make pacts with demons to fight demons (hypocrisy). read more

when i started chainsaw man i immediately had to check if jjk was by the same author-they are VERY similar and are both funny and follow different patterns than your usual shonen
-they both have similar protags (very straightforward, earnest, innocent, not your “typical” shonen protagonist full of lofty convictions)
-similar character interactions + same comedic sense
-the art styles are both sketchy and a little rugged (more so for jjk) so if one doesn’t bother you the other most likely won’t
-both are about demons and have very similar premises

As mentioned before, it is also a part of the dark trio. Has similar pacing to an action shounen and the art is amazing. The plot twists are incredible and it is definitely one of those stories you can reread and uncover more things about the story the more times you read it. I personally thought the callback to denji asking makima if a perfect world will have bad movies is absolute genius writing. If you have read it you know what I am talking about and if you didn't then read it!!! It is a piece of art, go indulge in it.

There are countless similarities between Jujutsu Kaisen Chainsaw Man, we can mention the similarity between the characters, Itadori is like Denji, the kind and funny protagonist who doesn't want to hurt even the demons, Nobara is like Power, the protagonist's friend excited and outgoing, who often steals the show, Megumi is like Aki, the quiet boy with black hair who is a friend of the protagonists who had his family killed and wants revenge, Gojo is like Makima, both are very strong with incredible powers that can finish off any enemy, Miwa is like Kobeni, the two poor comic relief from the countryside.

Another point to highlight is the relationship between Mitaka and the War Devil in Chainsaw Man part 2 which is very similar to the relationship between Itadori and Sukuna. In addition, the pace of the narrative is similar, both work with demons and curses and are shounen manga. read more

Dandadan is quite popular, but there are still people who haven't read it and should give it a try. The author worked together with tatsuki fujimoto on chainsaw man, which helped him create a story as good as chainsaw man. Without plagiarizing anything from csm, it is a very funny and interesting story, but above all very crazy and unpredictable, full of action and charismatic characters. That's why I think that if you liked chainsaw man you should go read dandadan, with similar ideas but treated in very different ways, besides having an amazing drawing.

Dorohedoro addpermalink

Dorohedoro is the older, less-famous version of Chainsaw Man (incidentally, it ended the same year as CSM started... Coincidence?! Probably)

The setups are slightly different, but the execution is nearly identical - Socially inept protagonist with a transformation that turns them into brutal monsters, check, dark urban setting, check, loads of dark comedy, check, the protagonist being tasked with killing hordes of destructive monsters, check and the list goes on.

Chainsaw Man's approach is slightly more psychological, balancing out the drama with brutal action more carefully compared to Dorohedoro's more stylish and somewhat less sentimental approach. CSM is a shonen, so it won't explore its dark themes with as much glee as Dorohedoro, as well as being somewhat less visually brutal, but both are dark and violent in much the same way and are more or less equally effective. I very slightly prefer Chainsaw Man's take on this type of setting, but if you like one, you should immediately go watch/read the other because you will almost certainly like both. read more

reportRecommended by Ganji_No_Tensai

I’m aware that Chainsaw Man is a shonen manga & cannot reach the level of explicit content that Dorohedoro does as a seinen. That being said, there’s plenty of violence, gore, & dark humor in Chainsaw Man that make it similar in tone to Q Hayashida’s work.
Both contain complicated characters with broken personalities. A simple outline of the leads would be that Dorohedoro features a short-fused and violent man-child with a lizard head, while the other is a short-fused and violent teen with a chainsaw devil dog in his heart. There’s also the fact that the protagonists work with female partners in crime who embody the ‘hunters of their own kind’ trope. Of course, Nikaido is a lot more down to earth than Denji’s partner, Power, who is a high maintenance, cat-loving narcissist. Also, there are side characters that come with their own baggage of issues. 
Of course, these are in the horror-action genre which means there needs to be a terrifying villain pulling the strings. To avoid spoilers, the big bad is a lot more compelling in Chainsaw Man. From their terrifying ability and skill with manipulation, it’s separate from the simple motivation driving Dorohedoro’s antagonist. 
To conclude, these works have surreal worldbuilding, morally-questionable characters, & similar themes of identity & alienation. For design and aesthetics Dorohedoro is superior whereas Chainsaw Man has a better plot and story. read more

Both are written by the same author and have similar types of characters with this kind of dark leaning moral ambiguity and tons of action. There is the sense that there is no justice in both series as misfortune affects all characters regardless of how good they are. Both protagonists did not ask to be in their situation (more so in Fire Punch) and get thrown into a conflict that is bigger than them. Both have major plot twists that may feel like ass-pulls to some but are interesting nonetheless. The main difference is that Chainsaw Man is comparatively more coherent.

- excellent paneling and overall better art than csm due to being biweekly 
- an extremely fast, chaotic paced story that knows when to slow down for a few chapters if necessary
- both mc's being immortal and having amazing character development

Chainsaw Man and Tokyo Ghoul run thematically parallel in many ways exploring primitive survival, social outcasts and dehumanising organisations. While the main characters Denji and Kaneki share a similar backstories, Denji's manages to be more tragic but at the same time less pitiful. Characters in Chainsaw Man are decently fleshed out though not as thoroughly characterised as those in Tokyo Ghoul, and the humour is significantly more vulgar and absurd. Where Chainsaw Man stakes its claim over Tokyo Ghoul would be the lack of melodrama hammering home of tragedy that often renders Tokyo Ghoul tiresome and replaces it with adrenaline.

Both series feature very brutal and detailed violence. They also focus on their characters' minds, issues and trauma. Chainsaw Man has very edgy and childish gags, but they seem more influenced by western humour so even non veterans can enjoy it.

Cataclysm. Attack on Titan and Chainsaw Man both feature a cataclysmic world full that is not only full of physical chaos, but also has deep underlying political issues, making for a depressive bonus it has to flare.

AOT doing this with Eren's life ripped from him even more than his loss of freedom already. CSM does this with Denji living the hardest life imaginable.

Both are good shounen manga with great action too them. AOT being more mature and military based, CSM being more mentally crazed. 

reportRecommended by NextUniverse

If you like dark stories, politics, action, realistic characters, lot's of deaths, and psychological themes both do this well. Shingeki no Kyojin is the kind of story that brings you down with it's messages, not without hope but not optimistic either. Chainsaw man's fundamental message is simple, accessible, powerful, and uplifting. Thus, the contrast in mood between mostly depressing and mostly hopeful the two complements one another perfectly.  

reportRecommended by Orangutan999

CSM is a great dark shonen that follows SNK in terms of violence, battles, suspense, mystery, and approach of complex characters with traumas, anxieties, and desires. You really get hooked on the first chapters and you feel that the story becomes more and more intense, so it’s hard not to want to read it quickly. Similarly, the death of characters is suffered a lot. I love both aesthetics and particular designs, they are very attractive, as well as the characters and their respective stories and personalities, without forgetting the amazingly drawn fights and action sequences. CSM is more comical, so the sudden death of a character perhaps delivers a more aggressive pain-in-the-gut feeling instead of SNK, which does it as slow-paced suffering that lasts longer. read more

Really grim themes, in both story in art. Profound and deeply flawed protagonists. A cynical insight at poverty and homelessnes. Just overall dark and moody atmospheres. Chainsaw Man and Homunculus are really solid works with just the right ratio of depth to action so, as I see it ,neither of them fall into the "pretencious" category or at the other extreme "brainless" category. While CSW defies the boundaries of shounen as a whole genre, Homunculus breaks the confines of what you'd find socially acceptable in a mainstream manga. Anyway if you like glum things in general go check these out.

- Even though it seems not related at times, but most of the dialogue handles by their characterscan be highly relavent to the characters' motivation and personalities

Here's a brief overview of what The Witch and the Beast has to offer that may appeal to Chainsaw Man fans:

- Guideau has pretty much the same vibe as Power, in both appearance and personality.
- Witches hold a similar preeminence (and narrative role) in this world as demons do in Chainsaw Man's.
- Explosive magic filled action that's gripping and conveys a good sense of weight and scale.
- MCs work for a shadowy organization that tasks them with tracking down witches, and the story follows a similar episodic arc structure.

Overall, W&B leans more into darker themes and building up a sense of mystery around the two MCs, presenting itself in a more highly detailed art style that relies more on building a sense of visual suspense than the gag humor juxtaposition of Chainsaw Man. read more

This rec may seem far-fetched, but I love these two series for many similar thematic reasons.  Umineko's themes dealing in child abuse, especially from the issues of a mother upon a child, have strong parallels to Denji's relationship with Makima.  The struggle of breaking a cycle of trauma and abuse through the lens of compassion is a constant theme.  The realities of death and grief and how to move on in the aftermath play a huge part in both.

Further, both have absurdist and fantasy-laced battles that are more about the characters and their interactions than pure action.  They are deeply invested in how japanese society frequently fails its youth and have strong relationships with the continuing recession that has been affecting youth since the 1990s. read more
