is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto. The series started publishing in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine in December 2018.

The story is set in a world where Devils cause harm to humans, which makes them a target for extermination. Denji is a young, depressed man who has sold several of his organs and works as a tree cutter and devil hunter to pay back his deceased father's debt to loan shark (yakuza). Denji owns a dog (that is also a devil) called Pochita, that has the characteristic features of a chainsaw and is used by Denji as such for his work. Humans can make deals (contracts) with devils. After returning home from killing a tomato devil, Denji gets called by the Yakuza to go into a building to kill another devil, However, as it turns out, the Yakuza called Denji to allow a zombie devil to kill Denji, and in return, the zombie devil would give the yakuza more power, which would let them make more money. After Denji is killed and Pochita is severely injured by said devil, Pochita merges with Denji, (because of a deal Denji made with Pochita when they first met) and as a result, Denji's wounds heal and gets revived as a half-human, half-devil, acquiring Pochita's chainsaw ability. Denji then uses said ability to kill the zombie devil that initially killed him. After killing said devil, a team of governmental devil hunters arrives on the scene, and after discovering that the devil was already killed by Denji, one of its members persuade Denji to become part of the governmental devil hunting organization the team belongs to.
