Chainsaw Man Chapter 136, Normal Life Review: Excuse Me, What?

You know, I keep going into Chainsaw Man chapters expecting normal, predictable stuff to happen, and every time Fujimoto surprises me with the outright bizarre stuff he comes up with.
I should have learned my lesson after Chapter 105 but I clearly did not because I still ended Chapter 136 “Normal Life” wondering what the hell I had just read.
The chapter centers around Denji’s “normal life” after he quits being Chainsaw Man.
He is back at school, looking depressed as ever, while still wearing his Chainsaw Man t-shirt.
Another student notices this and informs Denji of the rumor that Chainsaw Man is actually taking credit for Asa’s Devil kills, and tells him that he should stop wearing the shirt of a “victimizer.”
If that was not bad enough, another student who loves Chainsaw Man overhears this and, believing Denji agrees with the other student, attacks him.
The chapter then cuts to the aftermath of the fight where Denji is admonished for beating up the student who attacked him, as the teacher automatically assumes Denji started the fight since he doesn’t have parents.
It’s sad but realistic considering how some schools treat those who defend themselves as bad as the actual bullies.
Denji is too depressed to protest his innocence and leaves the room, only to be met by Yoshida, who invites him out to a movie.
They are the only ones at the theatre, since a Devil showed up but it was killed quickly and Yoshida uses this to point out how Chainsaw Man isn’t actually needed, probably depressing Denji further.
It is then that Yoshida reveals he used this movie invite to set Denji up with a girl he knows.
Yoshida probably did this to further convince Denji to live a normal life, since one of the reasons Denji wanted people to know he was Chainsaw Man was so he could get a girlfriend.
Before Yoshida leaves, Denji asks him if this is what a normal life is supposed to be like, and Yoshida replies that it is, leaving Denji all alone in the theater in what is a pretty depressing panel.
The girl then approaches and sits next to Denji, who is not really into the idea of going on a date, given how depressed he is.
He is about to tell the girl he wants to be left alone, when he starts shrieking loudly.
At first, I thought he had got a look at the girl’s face and maybe recognized her but nope, if only.
Instead, what has actually happened is the girl has suddenly grabbed his wiener.
We then get a look at this girl’s face and, yep, she looks incredibly creepy.
The chapter then ends on Denji still in shock that the girl has grabbed his weiner, and once again I can confidently say that I did not expect the chapter to end this way.
The final scene with this creepy, sexual harassment girl felt so bizarre to read.
But that’s what I like about Fujimoto’s writing.
He is always pulling some weird plot development out of a hat that makes you wonder just what the hell you are reading.
He did it with Fire Punch and he is doing it now with Chainsaw Man.
Already, there are multiple theories about who the sexual harassment girl is.
The Death Devil is a popular one but I doubt that since she does not have the spiral eyes of Makima, Yoru or Fami.
Another theory is the Octopus Devil Yoshida is contracted with and I find this much more likely, since it could be a way for Yoshida to keep an eye on Denji and make sure that he is living a normal life.
Or the girl could just be a random pervert, who knows?
As for how Denji will react to her next chapter, well, that is anyone’s guess.
He did tell Asa he wanted to have sex but this mysterious girl’s actions feel a lot like Makima’s sexual manipulation so I don’t know if Denji will fall for it again.
Then again, this is Denji we’re talking about so he very well might.
Either way, given that every woman in Denji’s life tries to kill him, I expect this girl to be no different.
Although, if there’s something I should have learned about Fujimoto at this point, it is to expect the unexpected when reading his works.
