If you like Chainsaw Man, you might want to try this manga.
Chainsaw Man is probably one of the most hyped up anime in the last couple of years. But did you know that Tatsuki Fujimoto, the mangaka of Chainsaw Man, has something just as captivating for you?
Fire Punch is a dark and depressing dystopian manga that can leave you shattered to pieces and thinking about life. The manga introduces the world that’s been frozen over by the Ice Witch. The never ending winter has brought humanity to the brink of extinction. In this world there are people who have special abilities called “blessings''. The main character, Agni, has the blessing of regeneration. This is the point where some other stories might turn into a superhero movie, but this is not the case with Fire Punch. Agni uses his ability to feed residents of his village. He keeps having his arms cut off and fed to people.
One day, another man with a blessing, Doma, comes to the village. His blessing allows him to produce flames that cannot be extinguished until the person they are used on is dead. Doma is disgusted by cannibalism and he burns the villagers. The only survivor is Agni as his regeneration ability is faster than Doma’s flames and his body can neither die nor put out the fire. It takes Agni 8 years to finally adapt to the pain of constant burning and to be able to walk, and this is when he starts his revenge journey.
This brutal exposition brings absolute horror to anyone who reads it. Still, this is a type of manga that is impossible to put down, you simply cannot stop until you find out what happens next and how this story ends.
Agni is no hero, he is a traumatized and angry young man who just doesn’t know what to do with his life anymore. Revenge is all he’s got, and the idea of vengeance is what makes him move forward. He’s lost and in pain: he might have been able to adapt to the physical pain, but the loss of his village and the people close to him stays with him.
The story reshapes the idea of how having superpowers works, it opens up the new world of misery and brutality that no superhero story has done before. This new approach to characters having supernatural abilities is exactly what makes Fire Punch so compelling and special, so if you’re not afraid of horrors and cruelty, if feeling empty and heartbroken doesn’t scare you, this is the manga we recommend you to read.
