I'm now up to 12 volumes, and 3 action figures!

Because this is my busy season at work, I've been putting in overtime--it'll probably cover my action figure budget for the year, so I shouldn't complain, but I do! Oh, god, how I do. I'm tired, and barely had time to read anything last week. But, I did read another volume of Chainsaw Man, which has been great! Volume 12 was the start of a new storyline, Chainsaw's not in a large chunk of it, and it's still great! I don't know how intentional it is, but it kind of flips the usual superhero "protect their secret identity at all costs" trope on its head, and closes with a pretty perfect encapsulation of that Firefly meme where he's just dumbstruck with the terribleness of somebody's idea, in this case Denji's.

Then, when I was out getting groceries, I found the latest Chainsaw Man figure marked down, and I'm not made outta stone. Extra arms and face pieces!

How often are people worried about looking dumb, when sometimes the stuff that sounds the dumbest is actually the coolest? Hopefully, I'll get to watch the anime sometime. Although, at first listen, isn't the opening to his theme there the first bars in Fugazi's "Waiting Room"?
