>Asa as Part 1's sole main character would've sold way less
>Start of series Denji as Part 2's sole main character would've sold way more
I like both but I feel like we don't really understand how much better and more unqiue Denji is than Asa. I see a lot of people talk about how Denji's only so much better because of the quality of characters in Part 1 but most of my enjoyment with CSM was how Denji by himself would react to his situations and the characters he's surrounded with, not the other way around. Like I only enjoy Power and Aki as much as I do because of Denji. I feel like everything Asa can do as a character, Denji can make it more enjoyable.
