The series tells the story of a boy name Denji, who just wants to live a quite happy life with a woman he loves. However, he is forced to kill devils (to pay his debts) using his pet devil named Pochita. Due to some unfortunate events, Denji merges with his pet devil, which gives him the ability to transform his body parts into a Chainsaw.
