Public Safety is closing in on the Chainsaw Man Church's leadership. Readers following that organization's growing influence have the necessary reason to pick up this continuation. The conflict assumes the Church already means something in the story, so the volume number should guide a sequential purchase. It also lies beyond the contents of the first-eleven-volume box; replacing that collection will not supply this part of the run.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
The organization that uses Chainsaw Man's name is under pressure from another institution. VIZ pairs Public Safety's pursuit of its leaders with the revelation of the Church's plan and dangerous choices for Asa and Denji. That is a useful arrangement to examine without pretending that institutional opposition automatically gives either character a safe side. The advertised decisions are personal even when the confrontation is organizational. Buy this for that continuing collision, rather than as the reason to try the series: recognizing the Church's significance is part of the reading work the earlier material has already done.
