His only real companion is Pochita, the Chainsaw Devil, who lives with him in a broken-down shed hidden in the woods outside the city. Denji survives day-to-day on cheap bread, stolen comforts, and the hope that maybe someday he’ll get to live a normal life. Despite how rough and hostile he can seem, most of Denji’s behavior comes from years of neglect, isolation, exhaustion, and fear of losing the few things he still has.")]
