Fire Punch, Vol. 1 by Tatsuki Fujimoto
dark
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
1.0
Tired of the unnecssary use of objectification and assault of women, death of a female character to drive the MC's journey, and useless, immature dialogues to tell you how cruel this dystopian world is. This volume did not show anything, and all it did was tell you how bad it is. Using SA in every aspect just for the sake of 'telling' you how bad it is out there, is not world building. Cannabalism I get it, there is no food to survive, yes that's definitely horrifying but what the fuck is this incest plot? There can strong sibling bonding without making is sexual. And the fact that she had to die to make him go on a revenge spree, um no. i'm so over that trope.
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Gore, Incest, Misogyny, and Sexual assault
