Lost in it's own way

by Kamugin

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

The author seems to be really undecided what kind of story he wants to create so he erases the entire cast four times, with the exception of the main character, thus the result is a collage of different stories. The end is average only, perhaps there's a deeper meaning inside, but I don't feel I'd like to seek for it. The feeling that was left in me is that this is an immature work of a mangaka that can do better, like his Sayonara Eri.

This manga is absurd, fun, wild, and deep at times. If you like over the top and bizarre, this is for you.

If you are here for the violence you are missing the point

Rating: 9.7 / 10.0

I really dont like to tell people that their perspective is wrong, but in this case is hard not to, I've seen on different sites people saying that Fire Punch is just edgy nonsense filled with violence. Yet in multiple occasions, big fights are completely skipped over something that would never happen if this was simply action porn, if you really pay attention most of if not all of the fights that we get to see are from other peoples perspectives, because the fights are so amazing and out of this world that of course everyone would think that Agni is God after witnessing them, and that's the point, to push peoples perspectives on Agni.

Fire punch is a character exploration of someone completely vulnerable, that never gets to decide what to do with his own life, someone who tries to live up to everyone's expectations while never expecting anything of himself and I think thats rather beautiful, your feelings towards this manga may vary depending on your taste in protagonist, if you really really dont like reactive protagonists then this manga may not be for you.

Is not a 10/10 because I think that Fujimoto is still yet to reach his maximum potential, but whenever that happens I will be here for it.

The absolute torture one man can go through.

The manga is set in a post apocalyptic world where the world has been turned into an ice age. In this world there are people who have quir- Special powers and are called Blessed. One blessed created the ice age that they all live in. The male lead alongside his little sister is also blessed. They can regenerate any part of there body. So when the brother and sister where dying to the intense cold, a small village found them and decided to use whatever precious resource they have to save the kids. Agni (male lead) and Luna (little sister) decide to repay the village as well as live there by cutting off parts of there own body and using that to feed the villages. When a government guy shows up and realizes this is a cannibal village he decides to burn it using his quirk. However it will keep burning until the fuel it uses is completely burned up. So Agni crawls to his sister whilst regenerating and burning up only to find her taking her last breath. Unlike Agni his little sister powers are much weaker and cannot keep up with the eternal fire that has engulfed her. Unable to handle the Pain Agni finds solace in dying with her sister. However her sister tells him to live with her final breath. Slowly but surely Agni gets up. With 1 thought in his mind. To seek vengeance.

The manga was a lot more gruesome than I expected. Not just in grotesque detail but rather the entire depressing journey of Agni. This guy goes through too much shit... Like it was genuinely exhausting to read about this guy. His entire journey is just pain and more pain. If its not physical, its psychological. It's always one or the other and most of the times its both. It's like the author read Berserk and thought that Miura didn't try hard enough to break Guts' spirit. The amount of torture Agni goes throughout the series actually hurts me.

The constant back and forth of his mental health is exciting and fun to see. His growth of his character is incredible. Him understanding his role in life, giving up, getting back up again. His inconsistencies and pure indestructible will gives me shivers every time.

I think the side characters were alright. Like they existed to push up the main character. None of them really stole the show (besides maybe one....) but regardless they were in the background most of the time. Even when they had more of a presence I wasn't really into them all that much. Agni being a monster on fire really just kinda stole the show.

The action and hype and this series is great. The author makes sure you never forget this is a man constantly on fire. His entrances are always legendary. Where it just takes your breath away. The action in itself was great most of the time. The art is a bit rough around the edges and it especially shows during the fight scenes making it kinda hard to understand whats going on. But overall I think it does a solid job. There is another issue in which we don't see the fight at all. Because the author decides to do it off screen. This is quite disappointing as it happens twice. It definitely looked like big shit went down so why didn't we get to see any of it.

The ending to Fire punch was also quite alright. I won't say it was foreshadowed or it makes perfect sense. But there is solace in it and I was happy with it. After everything that went down this may not be the perfect ending but it was a satisfying one.

The strongest part about this series is probably the Heart. The fact that Agni desperately tries to clutch to his humanity. The fist bump, The heart of this series is extraordinary. I almost got quite emotional.

TLDR: Arguably one of the best series I've read this year. 8/10

Weirdest shit I've ever read

by dibidabua

Rating: N/A

At times I felt like anything weird/gruesome in this manga was there just for shock value. The story itself is weird because there is no real plot line, it just flows until everything eventually ends(quite literally), it's good but not the best and not for everyone too.

For some people it will be confusing because there's a lot of implicit details that is not found in the dialogue.
It's not perfect by any stretch.

Something new, atleast for me.

I saw this and noticed it had the same humor and art style as "Chainsaw man" so i searched it up and surprisingly it was from the same mangaka. So i decided to Continue it.

As for now, this is different from what i usually read and i really need these kinds of mind boggling manga that is Good and satisfying to read but at the same time trashy.

I recommend giving it a try because it can make you chuckle and brain fuck you at the same time.

Strange

I enjoyed the story, but I thought it was very odd and felt kind of rushed in general. Especially the middle part of the story and the very very

oddly happy?? end. It's especially hard to understand as the main character is perpetually 15 years old in terms of mental and emotional development. However, it's short enough to read and it kind of feels exactly like chainsaw man. It's not the best, but there's a lot worse out there

An excellent exploration of role and identity.

by apsyda

Fire Punch is a hard work to grasp as first or by considering everything directly as it is given.
However, this manga comes into its own for the reader when they focus on how the writer explores the interaction between the role people adopt in outer society and their inner identity.
In this way the writer shows that they put a great amount of thought into the work and how these systems of identity work with and against each other.

Beyond this, there is some really good artwork showcased here and the individual characters can be very fun.
There are some stumbling blocks in this, with for example certain characters getting killed off well before the readers can grow to care about them, despite their impact on the protagonist.
But in the whole its a great read that hits the reader hard and quickly with some genuinely breathtaking moments.
