Chainsaw Man Chapter 168, Kiss, Love, Sperm Review: An Ominous Name.

Chapter 167 was a big chapter for Chainsaw Man. 
It pretty much set the fanbase on fire, with debates raging over Yoru’s actions.
I decided to see the fallout until I judged, and we got that fallout with Chapter 168, “Kiss, Love, Sperm.”
The chapter begins in the immediate aftermath of Denji and Yoru’s sexual encounter, where Yoru cleans her hand and then insists she only kissed Denji because it felt good.
All well and good, Yoru, but you did quite a bit more than just kiss him.
To make matters more confusing for Denji, Yoru then kisses him again and continues to insist she doesn’t like him.
“Only the other me likes you,” she says. “Her feelings flowed into me.”
Yoru stating this makes me believe that her and Asa’s personalities are merging even more.
By the end of their story, the two may very well become one.
As for Denji, this line is the first hint he gets at what is actually going on with Asa.
He is undoubtedly still confused but the building blocks are there for his eventual revelation.
Yoru then leaves Denji in the alley, and the page of him sitting alone and dejected is just depressing.
The poor guy just wants to be loved.
Asa is in just as much turmoil, as she runs up behind Yoru and takes over their body to slam her head into a wall and then punch her in the face.
Asa’s biggest concern over this whole debacle is that Denji will think she is a slut.
She clearly still likes him and is obviously scared he will not want anything to do with her because of what Yoru did.
I, for one, think Asa and Denji just need to sit down and have a calm conversation about this whole mess… oh, who I am kidding?
Fujimoto’s just going to give them more trauma, anyway.
Speaking of which, the final panels of the chapter show the emotionally drained Asa and Denji on a train to a sushi place ominously titled “Death by Sushi.”
What a terrible name for a sushi restaurant.
Seriously, if I want sushi, the last place I’m going is one where the name implies I’m going to die because of the food.
Although, maybe this is Fujimoto implying that the Death Devil will be at the sushi restaurant?
Hey, it could happen.
All we can really do is hope that Asa and Denji at least get to have some good sushi, before the story inevitably throws more trauma at them.
Chapter 168 is a short but well done follow up to the previous chapter’s events, and sets an ominous tone for the next storyline with the “Death by Sushi” title.
