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.

Company 8 is working hard to understand the truth of what is happening here. They know the infernal situation is worse than it looks – they need to understand who is behind it all (and why). Unfortunately, their desperation to understand the situation is about to lead them into a trap.

Review:

Yikes. Things are heating up (sorry, I couldn't resist). Fire Force Vol. 6 finds a way to up the ante in an already lethal situation. In truth, a lot of this volume felt like it was setting up for something even bigger, which is frankly terrifying.

It also has one of the better fights for the series (so far), which I feel is saying something. It was so much fun to see Shinra step up and let loose for the first time. I feel like we've always known he was a badass, but seeing it is something else.

Also, this volume was so busy with the main plot advancing (and the fights) that it had no time for fan service. So that made for a refreshing change. I know it'll probably come back in full force soon, but I'll take the break while I can.

Overall, I loved the progression in Fire Force Vol. 6. I can't wait to get my hands on the next volume (off to the library!).

Highlights:
Manga – Shonen
Connected to Soul Eater
