Fire Force 2 (Fire Force, #2)

by Atsushi Ohkubo

[Quirky Cat]

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.

Shinra has officially joined the Fire Force; only things aren't going quite as he expected. Yes, his abilities have been put to great use...but he isn't any closer to finding more information about the death of his family. The past still haunts him. So imagine his surprise when he finds a villain promising some answers.

Review:

And so the series continues! I feel like Fire Force hit its stride in the second volume. That's usually the case as the world has been established, and now we can focus on getting to know the characters and their stories.

As expected, Fire Force Vol. 2 has plenty of action. There are also a few surprising twists. I say "surprising" because while I expected twists to happen, I thought it would have been another volume or two before we dove into those elements. Not that I'm complaining.

This volume adds a lot to the complexity of the world. There are eight different Fire Forces, and they all seem to have different origins/motives. That's pretty fascinating, and I hope we can learn more about that in future volumes.

The fan service ramped up in Fire Force Vol. 2, adding another character to the mix. Not surprising, but worth commenting on.

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