Fire Punch is set in a world covered in Ice and snow. Survival in such environment is....harsh. And whenever you find a civilization they likely have someone among them with superpowers. Our MC, Agni is one of those . He has regeneration so extreme he is basically immortal. His village survives off that ability. Since regenerating a limb or two doesn't exhaust him or seem to consume any energy (k den), he just chops it off constantly to feed the others. Oh yeah, he got a sister. That wants to fuck him. Yep, incest bait. Suddenly some mofo shows up and kills everyone. The said mofo has a superpower too. A flame that doesn't extinguish till it burns anything it touches to ashes. Everyone dies, agni is pissed and swears revenge. Remeber that immotal part? Yeah? Well, he catches on fire, the fire that never goes out, to be more specific. Time skip 8 years into the future and he's trying to hunt down the psycho that ruined his life.

That's basically the prologue.

If you're still not sure lemme give you more info

-The superhumans are often treated as livestock.
-The story shits itself at about chapters 30-40 in or so and decides it wants to be something else
-The MC, Agni is as talkative as an average corpse.
-There is a lot of religious fanaticism, bordering on the occult.
-The ending is so cryptic, it feels like it was supposed be the Neon genesis Evangelion compressed into one short chapter, that got drunk, fell over, got a concussion and thought it was supposed to be a happy end AND got axed in the middle of it.


As you can tell, i enjoyed the first half of the manga. But oh boy did i hate the rest. Especially since i found the cast to be boring and the story somewhat mediocre. The sole reason i gave 5 in the character category was Togata, a....girl that appears later in the story. Whenever there is Togata, there is gonna be some pscho or hilarious shit happening. Sometimes both.
And oh god the movies references. Anyway, rant over. Back to more comprehensive stuff.

-STORY is mediocre, held up by it's setting. At first, an average, although
interesting revenge plot. In the latter chapters it decides it want's to do
something else. And it sucks at it. It wanted to be intelligent and/or
philosophical and usually failed at it or made it somewhat edgy.
The ending was what i would describe as an anticlimactic failure
My score(5)


-ART on the other hand.....I feel like it's a downgraded version of Tokyo
Ghoul's art. Which might actually be a good thing since this world, is a
desolate one. No idea why i like it so much, it just fits the setting.
My score (8)

-CHARACTERS category, was at least for me, carried by Togata, god i love
that nerd. The rest? eh.
Also, it feels like the sole drive behind Agni (MC) isn't the death of the
village, or his suffering but the death of his sister, which cockblocked his
incest urges.
Like, "Oh yeah, all the people i knew are dead and you made me into a
human torch, that's cool bruh. But you killed my sister! And she wanted to
bang! Now that's too far!"
My score (5)

Personal enjoyement? 5, carried by a single character, setting, and the first half of the (mediocre) story.

There are more interesting shows, manga VN, LN and books out there and UNLESS you are either running out of options, or are specifically looking for depressed x-men in an icy wasteland you're not gonna like this.
Outside of these cases, i can't recommend this show.
Seriously though, wtf was that ending.
