This article includes spoilers for the Chainsaw Man manga. Reader discretion is advised.
In recent days, an alleged leak of Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga, “Chainsaw Man“became a trend after showing a panel in which Asa Mitaka vomits when he realizes that Yoru (taking possession of his body) kissed Denji passionately, to the point of making him ejaculate.because he was holding his member throughout the entire scene.

As we reported in a previous article, chapter 167 of “Chainsaw Man” took fans of the franchise by surprise, precisely because Denji finally had a certain “reward” after all his moments of misery and desolation. After he recognized that “his penis is to blame for his misfortunes,” Yoru proposed cutting off his member to solve the problem at its root, literally.
As they enter an alley to perform the bloody deed, Denji realizes that Yoru was serious and gives up. At one point, Yoru remembers that he had kissed Denji in the past and, while holding his penis to supposedly cut it off, kisses him intensely on the mouth. The excitement is so much that Denji cannot control his impulses and ends up ejaculating in Yoru's hand.
And that's where the alleged leak comes in, as a panel that trended on Twitter and other social media showed Asa Mitaka vomiting in the street when he realized what his alter ego had done.:

The most interesting thing, however, is that this is not a leak or even an illustration made by Tatsuki Fujimoto. This is a “fan-made chapter” by Twitter artist “Mr. Machi (@machipachi1901)”, who created an eleven-page sequential chapter with art that is extremely similar to that of Tatsuki Fujimoto..











While this was all a hoax in the form of a meme, it is definitely thought-provoking. The quality of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s storytelling in the second part of “Chainsaw Man” is entirely debatable, as some agree and others disagree. But the decline in manga's artistic quality is undeniable, and is confirmed by the fact that its style can now be imitated so perfectly that a Twitter artist can fool even the author's oldest fans.
By the way, the real “Chapter 168” is now available and you can compare the art styles of the two editions.
