Plot
The story’s protagonist is Denji, a young man in poverty and debt. It is set in a world similar to Noragami, where Devils or Akuma are born from people’s fears. There are also devil hunters who make contracts with devils in order to kill evil devils. Denji is betrayed by the Yakuza, for whom he used to work, and owes his father’s debt to them. Pochita, Denji’s canine companion and Chainsaw Devil, then offer a deal to him asking to merge their bodies. Pochita’s only condition is that Denji lives out his dreams.
Denji goes on a Yakuza killing spree. Appeased by his abilities, the government recruits him as a devil hunter. In the first arc, we see Denji being betrayed by Makima (control devil) and all his friends and companions being eventually killed. Denji then takes his revenge on Makima. His former teammate, Kobeni Higashiyama, informs him about a New control devil being born. It is a little girl named Nayuta and he entrusts Denji to protect her.

The second arc and recap of chapter 119
In the second arc, we see Denji trying to live a normal life. He goes to school and uses his newfound fame to attract girls. He also encounters Asa Mitaka, a living Fiend host to the War Devil Yoru. They both attend Fourth East High School. Yoru wants to find the Chainsaw man and retrieve the Nuclear Weapons Devil. Pochita consumed it. Asa mistakes someone else for the chainsaw man and plans to find a weapon to kill him. Knowing that Denji is an easy target as he can seduce, she asks him out on a date.
Summary of Chainsaw Man Chapter 119
Denji informs her of a few unbreakable rules. The first one is not to touch the front doors of the other apartments other than his when they arrive at their residence. Asa asks why she would even consider doing that as it’s common sense and Denji invites her inside. Asa is surprised by how unkempt the apartment is. They both settle in to watch a movie together. Denji then states rule number two: not to open the fridge, to which Asa responds that she hadn’t planned on doing so. He then goes on to explain the third rule: they should not make out in the presence of his roommate, who is currently walking their dogs and will overreact at small things.
Asa, embarrassed by the statement gets outraged and yells that she has no intentions of making with Denji. She then tells him to shut up when Denji attempts to suggest that things will eventually lead up to it. He rhetorically asks Asa whether she likes him. Asa tells Denji that she hates him after he reminds her that she was the one who asked him on the date. Asa calms herself down and tells him that Denji should not be so close to her because she needs to abide by her own rules or else he’ll die. She tells him that she will leave after the movie is over as she returns her focus on the movie.

Nayuta’s entry
Denji keeps wondering if he did anything wrong to garner such a response. When he turns to Asa, Yoru takes over her body and tries kissing him, much to his surprise. She also touches his head with her hand, having the intention of turning him into a weapon. At that exact time, we see a teenage Nayuta enters with their dogs. She accuses Yoru of being a thief as a chain emerges from her finger and impales Yoru’s forehead.

In this chapter, we might get to see Yoru and Nayuta fight each other. Denji, on the other hand will probably try to protect Asa, as he seems to like her. We cannot predict what he might do once he finds out that Asa is the host of the War devil. Maybe cause Asa did not fully consent to the relationship with Yoru, Denji may not kill her. However, it will be interesting to know what Asa’s reaction would be to finding out that Denji is the chainsaw man
