All Chainsaw Man Story Arcs in Order

The first thing one should note when considering this is that Chainsaw Man has two separate parts, the second having begun in July 2022. Part 1 primarily follows Denji, while Part 2 takes place years later, with the story’s plot and world evolving, and Denji’s legacy having grown immensely. Starting with Chapter 98, the story shifts over to Asa Mitaka, who acts as the War Fiend and host to Yoru.

The Chainsaw Man story arcs in order are as follows:
