Who is (or will be) Denji’s girlfriend in Chainsaw Man?

Denji’s eccentric personality and relatability made him immensely popular among the fans.

Fans have been eager to know about Denji’s love interests, wondering if he currently has a girlfriend or if he will be in a relationship soon.

Well, you are at the right place as we will delve into Denji’s love interests and his potential future girlfriend.

1. Who is Denji’s girlfriend in Chainsaw Man?

Denji is currently not in a relationship in the Chainsaw Man. However, Asa Mitaka will be his girlfriend in the future. They have been on a few dates and Denji even admitted to liking her in chapter 149 of the manga.

As Denji told Nayutu:

“I’ve kissed a bunch of times up until now, and it always went wrong. That kiss with Asa was the one time I didn’t get hurt”

Looks like Denji truly loves her and feels secure with her. Asa is like an amalgamation of the previous women Denji liked, that is Reze and Makima.

He had even saved Asa as the Chainsaw Man from the Falling Devil’s attack and protected her.

2. Does Asa Mitaka like Denji?

Asa Mitaka didn’t like Denji initially, however after being trapped together in the aquarium during their first date, they bonded and Asa developed feelings for him.

Asa had asked Denji out even though she wasn’t interested in him the least bit as it was part of defeating the chainsaw man.

She went on blabbering about the sea life and anemones which Denji was bored of. However, after they were trapped there because of Eternity Devil and Fami they got closer.

Denji even tried cheering her up which made Asa lighten up, she was pleased when he told her that he liked her mannerisms and that she was fun to watch.

In fact, Denji enjoyed her company so much that he asked her out on a second date.

Things got a little messy after that when Yoru failed to turn Denji into a weapon, it made Asa feel that he wasn’t interested in her.

On the second date at Denji’s place, Asa lied about hating Denji just because she was angry.

She confessed that she only went out on the first date as a distraction and that they shouldn’t date as he would end up dead.

This shows that Asa did care about him and didn’t want him to get hurt. Unlike Makima and Reze, who were just pretending to like Denji.

After the Falling Devil’s incident, it was clear that Denji cared a lot about her and she did too, she was infatuated with the Chainsaw Man (Denji) so much so that she even thought up a poem.

3. Denji’s other love interests:

I. Makima

Makima was Denji’s first love, however, they were never in a relationship, and besides, Makima never liked him.

She only appeared interested because she wanted to gain control over the Chainsaw Devil by fooling Denji into believing that she loved him. That was something Denji had always craved.

Even after he got to know about her betrayal he still felt like he loved her, well that’s what toxic relationships feel like.

In the end, Denji cannibalized her, which sounds brutal but from his end, it was as if Denji was reuniting with her as an act of love.

Like two halves becoming a whole, just as Plato mentioned in his text, Symposium.

II. Reze

Reze was another one of Denji’s love interests. He was infatuated with her, but just like Makima, Reze was also manipulating poor Denji for Pochita.

She also manipulated him like Makima, pretending to love him, spending time with him teaching him how to swim, etc.

However, after Denji learned about her betrayal he still liked her and dreamed of running away with her and didn’t kill her.

Later on, Makima brainwashed Reze and she hasn’t shown up on the screens or manga panels since.
