Manga like Chainsaw Man: 6 series to read in English

Chainsaw Man starts with a debt. Denji's father died owing the yakuza a fortune and left it to his teenage son. Denji pays it off by hunting devils with Pochita. Pochita is a small dog-like devil with a chainsaw sticking out of its head.

The picks below are the series on Mangainfo that share the most themes and genres with Chainsaw Man in AniList's tags and have English volumes out. A more popular series won any close call. All volume counts and dates here are as of October 2026.

Jujutsu Kaisen

Demons and body horror run through Jujutsu Kaisen just as they do in Chainsaw Man. Both also play out in an urban setting. The series is by Gege Akutami.

In this world dark human emotions take shape as curses. Jujutsu sorcerers fight those curses in secret. It sits in the action, drama and supernatural genres.

Jujutsu Kaisen is finished in Japan at 30 volumes. All 30 are out in English. You can read the whole story right now.

Go! Go! Loser Ranger!

Negi Haruba's Go! Go! Loser Ranger! shares henshin, shapeshifting and revenge with Chainsaw Man. That is a strong overlap for a series from a different genre mix.

It is an action comedy with drama and sci-fi in the blend. Its tags also list tokusatsu and an anti-hero. If transforming heroes and a grudge appeal to you after Denji, this is the one to try.

The series is still releasing in Japan with 22 volumes there. English readers have 18. Volume 19 comes from Kodansha on 24 November 2026.

Tougen Anki: Legend of the Cursed Blood

Gore is the first thing Tougen Anki: Legend of the Cursed Blood has in common with Chainsaw Man. It also has demons and a found family. Yura Urushibara writes and draws it.

The genres cover action, comedy, drama, mystery and supernatural. Its themes add youkai and tragedy on top of the demons.

This one has the biggest gap on the list. Japan has 30 volumes and the series is still going. Only 6 are out in English so far. No next English volume is listed yet.

Dai Dark

For the strange side of Chainsaw Man try Dai Dark. The two share body horror, surreal comedy and henshin. Both also lead with an anti-hero.

Dai Dark is a gory space adventure from Q Hayashida. Hayashida is the creator of Dorohedoro. The hero is a teenage boy named Zaha Sanko.

English readers are caught up. All 9 Japanese volumes are out in English. The series is still releasing in Japan. No next English volume is listed yet.

Mob Psycho 100

ONE created One-Punch Man and also made Mob Psycho 100. What it shares with Chainsaw Man is demons, surreal comedy and a coming of age story set in urban fantasy.

Its lead is Shigeo Kageyama. Everyone calls him by the nickname Mob. The genres reach past action and comedy into psychological drama and slice of life.

Mob Psycho 100 finished in Japan at 16 volumes. All 16 are out in English. The series is complete in English.

Black Clover

Found family ties Black Clover to Chainsaw Man. So do demons and unrequited love. Yuuki Tabata is the author.

Asta and Yuno grew up as orphans in the church of Hage. Hage is a poor village on the edge of the Clover Kingdom. Nearly everyone in their world can use magic. Unlike the other picks this one is a fantasy with a medieval setting.

Black Clover is finished in Japan at 38 volumes. English has 37 of them. That leaves one volume to go. No date for it is listed yet.
