Hey you. Yeah, you. Ever heard of Chainsaw Man? It's pretty fucked up, right? Yeah. Well this is a different manga, it's called Fire Punch. Did you know it's made by the creator of Chainsaw Man? And he actually created this before it? Yeah.
Well, remember Chainsaw Man was fucked up?
Well, this manga, Fire Punch, is already more fucked up 🤜 🔥

So, I'm going to spoil and give you the rundown of what was in this first volume because i want it to be a warning to those not into fucked up themes:

The year is some time after 2200.
There are people with super abilities referred to as "The Blessed".
Some mental woman called The Ice Witch put the entire world into a perpetual state of cold, and so it's snowing all over the world.

Theres a boy and girl, siblings, who are blessed with regenerative abilities.
The village they are staying in are starving and will die, so the main character, Agni, gets his little sister, Luna, to chop his arms off several times, and they grow back in seconds, and they deliver his arms to the villagers so they don't starve (Yes, fucked up already). This happens everyday. Chop and nom, chop and nom.
His sister is in love with him, and tries to get him to have sex with her so they can have babies and help populate the planet, Agni, naturally, is disgusted and sickened by this and refuses.

So, a buncha bad guys show up to kill the elderly, take slaves, and force the ugly young girls to be bred over and over again until dead (have I mentioned this is pretty fucked up?)
Turns out the baddest of the bad guys is also Blessed, he has flames that keep burning until whoever they're burning dies. They find human arms in all the villagers houses, are disgusted they're cannibals, and so burn everything and everyone to death, including Agni's little sister Luna.

You see, Agni's regeneration ability is far superior to Luna, when she loses a limb it takes a hour to regrow, whereas Agni's takes 2 seconds. So, Agni is perpetually on fire, until he dies, except he won't, because his regeneration is too powerful and quick, and so his sister slowly dies in front of him, and just when he tries to let himself die so they can all be reunited with their parents in the afterlife, his damn sister has to have her last words as "Live". So, he does.

Over the course of 8 years, he stops screaming and flailing in pain, learns to walk with the pain, learns to force the flames away from his head and to stay below it, and so he has learned to live with the excruciating pain of his entire body engulfed in never-ending flames, all with the goal of finding the man who killed his sister, and incinerating him to dust with his Fire Punch.

So, like I said, it's pretty fucked up.
You've got cannibalism, attempted incest, multiple attempted rapes, you've got a man trying to convince a 12 year old girl and an 8 year old boy to have sex with his dogs so he can watch and get off to it.
Yes, it's extremely fucked up.
So this review is deliberate in being so revealing and spoilery, because this is not for the innocent manga reader and this is definitely not gonna be everyone's cup of tea. So this review is a warning to you, this is only volume 1, and it's super fucked up. The concept itself is so twistedly original and awesome, and I can't wait to see how Agni grows and develops as a character and how he'll use his unique situation to change the world.

So if you're thinking of reading this, go for it, but you've been warned.
