Chapter 20

Drinking (み,) is the 20th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

Summary
The group emerge from the hotel, bloodied and weary. Denji is happy to have recovered the Gun Devil fragment, but immediately collapses from exhaustion. Himeno takes him to a hospital, asking Arai and Kobeni to report the events to Makima.

Sometime later, Himeno suggests the group all go drinking, as they stated they would within the hotel. Aki reveals Kobeni and Arai are quitting the bureau, and suggests the experience was too traumatic for them. Himeno argues that it may instead be due to their guilt over attacking Denji. Aki eventually agrees to drinks, on the pre-requisite that Makima attends. Himeno asks about Makima's fascination with Denji, but Aki remains silent. She changes the subject, asking whether he plans to ask Makima out.

At a restaurant, the 4th Division all chat happily. Denji is frustrated that he can't read the menu due to his illiteracy, before remembering about Himeno's promise of a french-kiss. Himeno tells him she'll do it when she's more intoxicated, due to feeling embarrassed whilst sober. Excited, Denji happily forgives the others for trying to kill him.

The group go around the table, introducing themselves. Most are shocked to hear Denji's young age of 16. Fushi, an older hunter, casually reveals his hunting partner died the day before, frightening the other young hunters. Himeno, now more drunk, makes flirtatious comments towards Denji, and he grows more excited when he learns Himeno often starts kissing people when drunk. Suddenly, Makima arrives. Denji suddenly grows flustered and uncertain as to whether he wants to kiss Himeno.
