Chapter 61

News Reporter (ニュースレポーター) is the 61st chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

Summary
The members of Quanxi's harem wait outside, destroying the remaining Dolls. Suddenly, they are approached by Kishibe, Kobeni and Violence Fiend. Pingtsi uses her ability to see that Kishibe has contracts with the Needle, Claw and Knife Devils, before assessing him as harmless due to his lack of body-parts with which he hasn't already made contracts. Kishibe slowly strides towards them as they prepare to fight.

Inside the building, the group (sans the unconscious Angel Devil and Aki) react to Quanxi's attack. In a flash, she kicks Denji into the air, before knocking out Kusakabe and Tamaoki. Moving towards Yoshida, he summons the Octopus Devil to absorb the brunt of the attack, before spraying the rest of the room with a mist of ink, attempting to take her by surprise. Quanxi notices Yoshida moving behind her and knocks him unconscious, defeating him. Before she can kill him, however, Kishibe enters, having taken Long and Pingtsi hostage.

Kishibe orders Denji and Power to restrain the hostages, as Power reveals she was playing dead. Kishibe and Quanxi, who are revealed to be past-acquaintances, sit down to discuss the situation. Kishibe begins to discuss retirement and old age, however as he speaks, he holds up notes in a notepad that reveal Makima is listening to them. Through his notepad, he promises to give Quanxi freedom in return for helping to kill Makima. Quanxi refuses, explaining (through a seemingly unrelated anecdote) that she prefers not to get involved, stating that "Ignorance is Bliss".

As she says this, Aldo enters and shoots at Denji. Kishibe kicks Denji, causing the attack to miss, however Long is able to take the opportunity to grapple him and free herself. In a flash, both Quanxi and Kishibe move at each other's throats.
