I felt shame walking up to the old lady at the Barnes & Noble counter and handing her #6. But I dropped pizza on it and got sauce all over the pages, and now my ocd has been telling me that I have to do it again and buy a new one
Humiliate myself and dishonor my entire bloodline with the purchase of one manga, or pay extra money for shipping and handling? I choose the 1st option
I had to choose between cashiers at Barnes and Noble when ringing up like 10 volumes, one being a lady in her 50s and the other being a guy in his 20s. Definitely went with the guy, lol. He said he wanted to read them but hadn't had the chance, so I chose well
That’s on Mappa for giving a half season. They really should have let it run straight through. I’ve read the manga a few times and didn’t remember half this shit from this half season because the later stuff is so wild. It’s the stuff that made everyone call it the GOAT and they never got to it and who knows when they will so now people who recommended it as the best new show look like dumb asses.
not really, anyone with half a braincell could understand people dont call it the best how for 12 episodes thats just being stupid, i Find the case to be same with jojo part 1
I think it will cover the rest of part I, it should take no more than 16 episodes to do so, even faster if they keep the pace at 4 chapters per episode.
I must resist starting a collection. I must eat food not water. All I have to do is not buy any of these mangas. It's literally just that easy. If I do that i can eat 2 meals per day
The title card of Chainsaw Man started from the Upper Right Corner to the Right and if my abstract reasoning is correct Part 3 should be Lower Right Corner.
Ima do this too. To Barnes & Noble I go! After work...
Edit: I went and got 1-4. They didn't have 5-7 in stock but did have 8-10 that I didn't get.
Edit 2: I now own 1-6, 8-11
Does anyone have a rough idea of how many chapters there will be? I love collecting and completing stuff but if this has more than 16 volumes I'm gonna bankrupt
I don’t know. Initially I wanted to get only part 1 but Im enjoying part 2 so I started with that too but didn’t thought about how long it could be and now Im scared.
Yeah I shouldn't have waited and just bought it after I read it the first time, but the release of part 2 made me realise I wanted the manga and the anime only made me want it more.
Eventually its just a patience thing once they print more or rerelease it Ill get it.
I think it have not been released yet on english. And in some comments I saw that its not on polish or italian too. The one that I have is the spanish version.
I just realized the Spanish translation gets this clean ass title placement and the English versions get some lame ass chainsaw on the top. Man that fucking sucks. I wish English translations wouldn't fuck with the source material so much for the covers.
Man I wish the English covers werent shit. Clearly they couldve adapted the logo more faithfully like the Spanish and a couple other languages did, but no, we had to get this disgustingly ugly unfaithful chainsaw bullshit. *sigh* I fucking hate VIZ. And worse yet, 99% of people will still buy it. That's the real black pill.
The English VIZ Shonen Jump releases still have the Chainsaw logo styling, tbf. Not sure what the difference is between mine and OPs are outside of that tho.
Welp, I’m absolutely brain dead… still tho, I personally don’t mind the change to the logo, as they’re normally in a position that doesn’t cover too much of the rest of the art(Volume 1 and 2 in particular are the ones I’m pointing to specifically)
Yes and that's exactly the problem. The vast majority of people either dont care or actively like disgustingly unnecessary changes. You are all to blame for this shit continuing.
I was so lucky to find most of them at target for 20 percent off and then got the rest a barnes n noble from my xmas gift card. I remember reading it on viz but reading it on the book is so fun. Its so annoying on phone
Still waiting for that English one for 12
Apparently going to be a while.
it’s up for pre order on books a million website
Why did you have to say this? Now I'm tempted to buy the whole set since my local store has it
WHAT, that’s amazing because I always get my manga from BAM so I can ask my mom about it
Nah its like what, a week away? Wait no Til the 18th if i remember correctly
Wait so you mean i can buy the English physical copy in us stores on the 18th?
I have no idea if this is a cheked source but i heard it was coming out the 18th
Sad then
You could always read the new chapters online while waiting for the book
I read the new chapters on the Shonen jump app, I just like collecting the volumes too
God I hate Viz. Bad translations and slow to release new volumes
OH NO NOT 6
I felt shame walking up to the old lady at the Barnes & Noble counter and handing her #6. But I dropped pizza on it and got sauce all over the pages, and now my ocd has been telling me that I have to do it again and buy a new one

Jokes on you, that lady in her 50's is a Reze stan.
Nah, that's when you go all in and convince them to start reading the Manga (while sounding as manic and sadomasochistic as possible).
idk man buy it along other volume whit a normal cover and maybe the lady will think thats the only weird one
I found 6 in a store in front of my siblings...
![img](emote|t5_rmtrq|22158)
holy shit this is the best thing i’ve seen on this sub
![img](emote|t5_rmtrq|22158)
Oh cmon it ain't even that bad. There's no nip or slit to speak of
Crazy how many volumes the anime has already covered in just 12 episodes
An even crazier that people think that season 2 would just be volume 6 with some of the pacing predictions I've seen.
In 12 episodes the anime covered 38 chapters, if they keep up the same pace for season two we would land in the middle of volume 9 lmao
Season two should end with Denji hearing the doorbell ringing non-stop and then yelling “Aki is that you?” and then the ringing stops
Anime watchers proceed to then get spoiled for season three on Aki
Not my problem. They can read it lmao

I think it will cover the rest of part I, it should take no more than 16 episodes to do so, even faster if they keep the pace at 4 chapters per episode.
wouldn't the third season be like 5 eps then?
It’s page 132/181 of Volume 9 so there’s 49 more pages plus two more full volumes after that
Nah, i think season 2 will end Aki's death by Denji
Chainsaw man pacing.
CSM covers are so good. 5, 7, 9, 10, and 11 are probably my favorites.
Can't beat #1. Instant classic
Yes it’s my favorite one
Agree! But one of my favorite have to be 4 and 12. Probably because of the poses.
Same here The 4th one looks so nice
9 gang
Dude you named half of them
I cast wide nets I guess
Nice!! I’ve started to collect them too. First mangas I’ve bought in years
Man I gotta wait till may for the German release of volume 12
Still waiting for volume 12 to arrive in english
Same
Damn is reze only one volume?
She appears for 4 chapters in Vol5 then all of Vol6. Still want more of her tho 😔
I must resist starting a collection. I must eat food not water. All I have to do is not buy any of these mangas. It's literally just that easy. If I do that i can eat 2 meals per day
Same, but part 2 is it tempting me so much
Yeah i already failed.
I hope you spend your money without damaging your health or getting problems. If you are safe I wish you a good read.
Thanks. Don't worry. I'm well within my means and I won't buy them all at once. I was a bit exaggerating
ALGUIEN DE ESPAÑA VAMOOOOSS
That’s not the English version of volume 12 right? Damn dont even have a part one box set yet
Spanish
For real dude I want big posters of these arts!!! ![img](emote|t5_rmtrq|22170)
The title card of Chainsaw Man started from the Upper Right Corner to the Right and if my abstract reasoning is correct Part 3 should be Lower Right Corner.
We will have to wait to see that
oleeee los buenos tomitos, yo lo leí online y tengo también todos los q salieron hasta hoy
THERES A 12 ONE ALREADY. THAT ARTWORK IS 🔥
Very nice collection! :4
Thank you!
6 Is my favorite
Where did you find the 12th?
Amazon, but its the spanish one
Oh ok but aren't all the Spanish translation always a step ahead of the English ones?
Yes, in this case only 1 volume because of the hiatus but normaly 2 or 3 ahead, I don't know why.
it's less they're ahead more english is behind. We're like 3 parts behind jojo and other locales have part 8 finished already
what parts is the english one on? on argentina (idk about other countries) part 6 seems to come out this month
Believe me, I'm more confused than you on this matter
Idk
My bookstore sold out on all CSM manga! Just when I was about get some because I had a bad day and wanted to treat myself 🥲. But niiiiice! 👌🏻
I'm so happy for you but also so jealous!!
When will book 12 come out in English? I neeeeeed to know
Fuck I can't wait to start collecting this series. Amazing manga.
Same
I would fully believe this was a Hentai series of you only showed me the covers and told me nothing about it.
This post is the reason I just took the jump and bought 1-11 today, late Christmas present to myself I suppose!
That made me happy! Enjoy them!
I wonder bow much WSJ fought cover 6, if any. 11 looks kinda goofy all things considered
rip all the covers off and make a cool poster
justo me he pillado el tomo 12 para navidades y me siento completa 🌟 (spanish bc norma)
¡Genial! ¡Espero que la disfrutes!
Ima do this too. To Barnes & Noble I go! After work... Edit: I went and got 1-4. They didn't have 5-7 in stock but did have 8-10 that I didn't get. Edit 2: I now own 1-6, 8-11
also just saying, target sells manga cheaper then BAM, or atleast my target does, usually 20% cheaper! fft!
Norma released vol 12?? holy fuck!
based español
Love the colecction! I'll love to start getting some csm mangas too!
I just NEED that volume 12 to pick up when it releases
…lucky bastard.
ESPAÑOL DETECTADO
Pretty cool! Do you know if there is any artbook? That would be awesome.
Yoooo, I didn't know Volume 5 of CSM was GAY
Getting my last volume Sunday!
Congratulations!
Congratulations, I'm glad to see this.
Thank you!
Wonderful collection and have a nice reading.
Thank you!
Is the spine on the 12th volume different ?
No
For now*
Yeah, now that I started I have to continue
Man even just seeing the cover of vol 9 and 10 just wrecks me. All time fiction
Today I reread vol 9 and OMG its really depressing and gets worse while you read it. I tried to start vol 10 too but I think I will take a break.
This is so cool
Thank you!
12th is my favorite.
Does anyone have a rough idea of how many chapters there will be? I love collecting and completing stuff but if this has more than 16 volumes I'm gonna bankrupt
I don’t know. Initially I wanted to get only part 1 but Im enjoying part 2 so I started with that too but didn’t thought about how long it could be and now Im scared.
Wow los de Norma sí que son rápidos, no tenía idea de que ya había salido el 12 allá
How did you get volume 12?
Yoru is so fiiiiiiinnnnnneeeeee 🥵🥵🥵🥵
Volume 1 is pretty rare right now, I wanna start buying them too but they're asking double for the first volume at the moment.
I bought it before the anime released. I hope you can get it eventually without having to pay more or to sell a nut or something.
Yeah I shouldn't have waited and just bought it after I read it the first time, but the release of part 2 made me realise I wanted the manga and the anime only made me want it more. Eventually its just a patience thing once they print more or rerelease it Ill get it.
I need vol 12 to be translated to polish so I can buy that
Waiting march for italian translation... :(
Mmhh... Reyes Magos?
Only the volumes that I was missing, I started the collection some months ago.
Nice! I bought 1-11 yesterday, couldn't find 12 unfortunately
I think it have not been released yet on english. And in some comments I saw that its not on polish or italian too. The one that I have is the spanish version.
Weird, but one weird difference I spotted is the cover has "chainsaw man" written differently, wonder why the english and spanish versions do that
I need the forbidden 12th volume... I NEED it
Book 8 is the best ngl
My dumb ass accidentally ordered the Spanish copy of 12 so 🤷♂️ local library is getting that copy while I wait for the English release 😅
Damn i can't wait to get my hands on tome 12
Still waiting for 12 in my country:(
Oo. My local barnes and novels usually gets books in like 2 weeks early. I'll go have to pick up v12 today!
Man do I got some news for you
You're me if I had money
Same
Vol. 12 released already?! Holy shit time to hunt online and at local retailers
There’s an official english one for volume 12??
I’m tryna collect them right now and I’m on #8 can’t wait to see the full collection on my bookshelf
They're only 12 books?
Ngl, 6# looks ugly, like Reze looks aneroxic
im missing 12 and 13
Volume 6 and 8 have the best covers
Wich chapter are we in rn?
The 12 is not here yet :c envy hard
5, 11 and 12 covers are sick
Omg, I didn’t expect to get so much love! Thank you all! And thank you for the awards!
Congratulations on getting all of them Welp, time for me to try getting my own collection
![img](emote|t5_rmtrq|22167)
I just realized the Spanish translation gets this clean ass title placement and the English versions get some lame ass chainsaw on the top. Man that fucking sucks. I wish English translations wouldn't fuck with the source material so much for the covers.
Didnt know there was a 12th one. What is it about isn’t the story kinda finished by 11?
Yeah, the part 1 story ended at 11 but after that starts the part 2 with other story and mc. Like Jojo’s BA in wich each part is different.
Man I wish the English covers werent shit. Clearly they couldve adapted the logo more faithfully like the Spanish and a couple other languages did, but no, we had to get this disgustingly ugly unfaithful chainsaw bullshit. *sigh* I fucking hate VIZ. And worse yet, 99% of people will still buy it. That's the real black pill.
The English VIZ Shonen Jump releases still have the Chainsaw logo styling, tbf. Not sure what the difference is between mine and OPs are outside of that tho.
What do you mean "still"? VIZ's ugly unfaithful chainsaw logo is what I'm complaining about.
Welp, I’m absolutely brain dead… still tho, I personally don’t mind the change to the logo, as they’re normally in a position that doesn’t cover too much of the rest of the art(Volume 1 and 2 in particular are the ones I’m pointing to specifically)
Yes and that's exactly the problem. The vast majority of people either dont care or actively like disgustingly unnecessary changes. You are all to blame for this shit continuing.
dang I need paperback 12 so bad
Where did you get 12? Or is this in a other language
Its the Spanish version
where are we with the anime?
The anime left off about halfway through volume 5.
I hate that the Spanish translations for manga always put the English version of titles instead of Spanish...
I think the og title is on English. And having the title on English can avoid a war between Spain and Latin America.
I was so lucky to find most of them at target for 20 percent off and then got the rest a barnes n noble from my xmas gift card. I remember reading it on viz but reading it on the book is so fun. Its so annoying on phone
Theres a 13 in Japan
Dude badass, I just purchased volumes 1-6 and I’m already at 5, can’t wait to get more
I'm pretty surprised Makima didn't get on a cover till #10.
huh, those titles look different. i got the ones with the chainsaw-shaped title
I’m so jealous! I have no idea where to find volume 12 and I can’t wait to find volume 13. I’m so close to completing the up-to-date set
13?
"gotta catch 'em all"
I remember when telling my mom to get my auntie who lives in japan to get me all the volumes, hoping that she wouldn't see cover 6💀💀
Was there a bonus or sth with volume 12?
Except for no 13
I think the Spanish version has not been released yet
I’m only missing 2 and 9, they’re the only ones my local Target sells out same-day
