Synopsis

Power lives out her favorite anime by becoming a genius detective—or so she wants her "audience" to believe! Denji is along for the ride as her assistant for an investigation into disappearances at a mountain hotel. Other stories center on Quanxi and Kishibe's relationship nine years after they met, Himeno and Aki's first assignment together, and Denji, Power, and Aki's dream trip to Enoshima.

I am going to preface this review by saying this light novel is meant to be read after Chainsaw Man (up to the end of Vol. 11 anyway). Some of the stories spoil quite a bit of the series – including the ending!! – so wait to read this novel until you've finished the manga!

Secondly, I feel I should say that this light novel is best enjoyed by those who read Chainsaw Man and loved it. If you read Chainsaw Man and were neutral on it, or weren't the biggest fan of it, I would not recommend reading this light novel. It's nothing revolutionary and ...

Especially the second and third stories are peak character development and I wholeheartedly want to someday see these two animated somehow.

This volume, next ...

As a fan of Chainsaw Man this was a good read, get some more content with the characters we love and a couple of the moments are actually pretty good. As an actual book its not great, mostly just because the writing itself is just basic generic quality, its not bad but its just bland. The 4 mini stories that are in this LN are good and they all have uniqueness to them, no retreading old grounds and we get some cool insights that we didn't get to see about certain characters. In the end no one is reading this to find some peak writing, ...
