Original Story: Manga, Part 1 — Public Safety Saga

Genre: Action, Dark Fantasy, Supernatural, Drama

Overview:

Chainsaw Man takes place in an alternate version of the late 1990s, where devils exist and threaten human society. Denji is a young Devil Hunter who struggles with poverty and inherited debt. After an unexpected encounter changes his life, he becomes Chainsaw Man and is recruited by Public Safety, an organization responsible for dealing with devils.

Setting:

The story is primarily set in Japan, where government Devil Hunters work to protect the public from supernatural threats. Devils are formed from human fears, and their strength is connected to how strongly people fear the concepts they represent. Some devils can make contracts with humans, while others take control of human bodies or exist in forms that combine human and devil traits.

Main Characters:

Denji — A young Devil Hunter who becomes Chainsaw Man and joins Public Safety.

Pochita — A small, dog-like devil who forms a close bond with Denji.

Makima — A high-ranking Public Safety officer who recruits Denji and oversees his work.

Aki Hayakawa — A disciplined Devil Hunter assigned to work with Denji and Power.

Power — A loud and self-centered Fiend who becomes part of Aki's household.

Reze — A young woman whose meeting with Denji becomes important to the story.

Quanxi — A powerful Devil Hunter with connections to international affairs.

Organizations and Groups:

Public Safety Devil Hunters — Government employees responsible for handling devil-related incidents.

Special Division 4 — A special Public Safety unit that includes humans, Fiends, and other unusual members.

Private Devil Hunters — Independent individuals and organizations who work outside government divisions.

Continuity:

This RPG follows Part 1 of the original Chainsaw Man story, commonly known as the Public Safety Saga. It covers the complete storyline rather than stopping at the first television anime season. The television adaptation and later animated installments should be treated as adaptations of specific portions of that larger story.
