Chainsaw Man

Chainsaw Man is one of the most popular Shounen manga series in recent years. Its ability to captivate readers cannot be overstated. However, categorizing Chainsaw Man can be a challenge. It's a shounen manga, but it's graphic and monstrous enough to be called a seinen manga (depending on your sensibilities). It's also horror, of course.

Tatsuki Fujimoto has made it abundantly clear that he adores the horror genre and aspires to push boundaries and create something entirely unique from the works that inspire him. It's a shounen story about a poor teenager gaining power, learning to be good, and doing brave things. However, Chainsaw Man is also a horror manga, with grotesque imagery, gallons of blood, and themes of death, loss, fear, and trauma. While Chainsaw Man may not frighten readers in the same way that Junji Ito's manga does, it is a horror manga. It revels in blood and gore, and it isn't afraid to make the reader feel lost, lonely, and scared at times.
