#Chainsaw Man Chapter 138 delayed: Updated Release Date + Where to Read

Chainsaw Man has announced that its next chapter will be delayed by a week, again. The reason behind this delay has not been confirmed, but some sources suggest that it is due to the author taking a break.

The last chapter of Chainsaw Man left us with a shocking and confusing cliffhanger. Denji—bless his soul—found himself licking a demon corpse when a mysterious date offered to sleep with him. As if that wasn’t weird enough, the date then took him to a karaoke bar where she sang a provocative song while a group of men attacked Denji with baseball bats. Denji seemed to enjoy thrashing the place, and the chapter ended with Denji and the girl squaring off, ready to fight. Who is this girl? Who sent her after Denji?

Chainsaw Man Chapter 137 Recap and Summary:

Chapter 137 opens with Denji on a date with a mysterious girl that Yoshida set him up with. The girl makes a strange request as the date begins: she asks Denji to lick a fallen demon if he wants her to sleep with him.

Denji, still a virgin and eager to please, agrees without hesitation and even sucks on the demon’s tendril suggestively. They go to a karaoke bar next, where the girl sings Chu Chu Lovely Muni Muni Mura Mura by Maximum the Hormone. The song is about oversexualization and rape, and it seems to trigger a violent attack on Denji by a group of men armed with baseball bats.

• Denji fights back and beats them all, while she keeps singing. She picks up a bat of her own and says that the fight was more fun than singing when the song ends. Denji asks her if there is a second verse. The chapter ends with a cliffhanger that makes the readers wonder about her true identity and motive, and how Denji will respond to her violence.

Conclusion:

Chainsaw Man chapter 138 has been delayed by a week and will be released on August 9, 2023, at 12:00 am JST. You can read it for free on Manga Plus or Viz Media. The previous chapter ended with a cliffhanger where Denji’s date picked up a baseball bat and attacked him.
