Summary:
In Manga Chainsaw Manga Chapter 149 titled “How, Where”, Denji, Nayuta, and Fumiko are on the run from a mob of angry protesters who believe that Denji is an ally of the devils. Fumiko suggests they take cover at the Public Security headquarters, but Nayuta refuses, saying she can handle any threat, including humans. Nayuta then releases a chain from his body that strangles a nearby homeless man. Denji is shocked by Nayuta’s violence and asks her if she really tried to kill the man. Nayuta says she was just trying to protect herself and Denji.
Meanwhile, the preacher gives a speech to the crowd, claiming that he has predicted a war with the devils and that now is the time for humanity to fight back. The preacher urges the crowd to join him in attacking the Chainsaw Man’s army.
Denji, Nayuta, and Fumiko continue to avoid the protesters. Fumiko tries to reason with Nayuta, but Nayuta remains defiant. Denji then asks Nayuta what she thinks of Asa. Nayuta says that she thinks Asa is “red”, which means she is a devil who has become indistinguishable from a human. Denji is surprised by Nayuta’s answer and asks her what she means. Nayuta says she doesn’t like Asa and doesn’t want Denji around her.
The chapter ends with Denji and Nayuta continuing to argue. It’s unclear what happens next, but it’s clear that there’s tension between the two characters.
