We are having a family breakfast and the debate came up. Do you butter the toast before putting on the peanut butter? Or do you just put the peanut butter straight on your toast?

I must be getting to that age where I no longer understand references in the wild.

Chainsaw Man's mc is named Denji. He grew up excruciatingly poor, and so, at the beginning of the story, his dreams were very humble things like eating toast with decent toppings and hugging a girl at least once before he died. He dreams bigger and bigger as things go on, but it always stays comically simple because he's a simple kind of guy.

manga spoilers aheadHis current stated dream is to have sex and the one person that wants to do it with him might have just lost control of her body as the devil within her reattained her full power. But his real dream (he is just too foolish to realize it) is to have a chosen family, which he has also been intentionally boxed out of a few times over now. So tragic. Much sad. ;(
