An interesting moral situation.Īlmost immediately, however, this unassuming village is descended upon by a team of well-armed men who attempt to take the town’s food supplies by force. Uniquely, however, nobody is dying for this meat and the one who provides it does so willingly. So, the Fire Punchmanga opens with cannibalism. In order to survive in a world where nothing grows, Agni hacks off his limbs each day (they regrow almost instantly) and offers them to the other villagers for food. Agni and his sister share the power of regeneration, and the two live together in a small village. Our story begins with our protagonist, a young blessed named Agni. And that artwork lends itself to a world covered in snow and ice perfectly. Tatsuki Fujimoto is already well-celebrated for his outstanding artwork, which juggles a raw scratchy quality with crisp and clean details. The ones we meet early on are elemental, with the power to generate and manipulate fire, electricity, and metal.įire Punch’s world has been plunged into an ice age thanks to the actions of a blessed known as the Ice Witch.Īll we know about the Ice Witch at the beginning is that she is blessed and she is the reason for this icy post-apocalypse. These blessed are unique individuals with mutant-like powers. In the world of Fire Punch, there are people who are ‘blessed’. What sets it apart from other post-apocalyptic tales set in deserts and rocky landscapes (like Fist of the North Star and Mad Max) or the remains of the American landscape (like Cormac McCarthy’s The Road and The Last of Us) is the fact that the world of Fire Punchis covered with snow.
The Fire Punchmanga is set in a cold and desolate post-apocalyptic wasteland. Whatever the case, Fire Punch is dark and bleak as hell. It was first serialised on the Shonen Jump+ website but so are many not-strictly-shonen manga. Whether or not Fire Punchcan be categorised as shonen manga is up for debate.
