Fire Force 3 (Fire Force, #3)

by Atsushi Ohkubo

The city of Tokyo is in the grip of a reign of terror! Possessed by demons, people have begun to burst into flame, leading to the establishment of a special firefighting team: the Fire Force, ready to roll on a moment's notice to fight spontaneous combustion anywhere it might break out. But the team is about to get a very unique addition: Shinra, a boy who possesses the unique power to run at the speed of a rocket, leaving behind the famous devil's footprints. Can the Fire Force discover the source of this strange phenomenon and put a stop to it? Or will the city burn to ashes first?

Summary:

Fire has always been a thing of nightmares for many. In this world, people are at risk of spontaneously combusting and turning into Infernals. An Infernal wants only one thing - to destroy. They are no longer considered human. That is where the Fire Force comes into play. It's their duty to protect the people.

The battle against the Infernals is on the verge of taking a backseat, and it's all because the different Fire companies can't seem to agree – or get along. In truth, there's a reason for the Companies to be suspicious of one another...

Review:

Fire Force is the series for you if you're looking for a series full of action (and a fair bit of humor). Fire Force Vol. 3 is even more intense than the previous two volumes, at least on the combat side of things.

There's also plenty of amusement (and fan service) to go around. So hopefully, you enjoy that balance of elements because it is something that Atsushi Ohkubo excels at.

In truth, while I am getting more invested in the plot, I did find myself tired of this current arc. Yes, the whole implication of the infighting between companies is fascinating. But the execution at times is...tiring.

That said, I still did overall this volume as a whole. And I'm looking forward to seeing where this newest arc will lead. One thing is certain; it will create more drama before all is said and done.

Highlights:
Manga – Shonen
Connected to Soul Eater
Lots of Action
