This manga really is something. I read Chainsaw Man first so I was used to the author using manga tropes as bait and then subverting our expectations. When it was revealed that the winter witch wasn't real and there wasn't a big bad guy to defeat I knew this story was going to be amazing. It was fun, thematically rich and heartbreaking. I wanted to know what path Agni would follow. I wanted to see if there really wasn't hope for humanity. Not once in those 83 chapters did it lose my attention, which is something I cannot say for other manga I've read because they always have at least 1 just 'okay' chapter.
I'm not going to say Fire Punch is the best manga of all time because I haven't read every manga, but I can confirm that it is the best manga I've experienced yet. I don't know if this story would work on an anime but as a manga it is beautiful and I'm happy with the ending.

Why did he keep the right side of his face on fire?

Tons of chapters where the story isn't really progressing and uninteresting side stuff is told. The side characters actions/story don't lead anywhere, even though the manga tries to make you think that. And they get like 2/3 of the screen time regardless.
The last spice to this is the main character making the most retarded and unrealistic decisions. These include him being a total dickhead and cunt to people who are his friends. Which is in no way comprehendable, since inbetween these decisions, he is always shown as someone that supposedly cares about others, even in his own monologues.
Fuck you for tricking me into reading this.

The series starts off promising but the plot gets more and more disjointed over time. Major events happen in the blink of an eye in a way that has 0 impact. It frequently feels like I'm reading a phoned-in synopsis for a series.
The action is still interesting but the longer it goes the less weight any action scene seems to have. Major fights that should have had a lot of care taken with them happen in a single tiny panel and it's done. It feels like the author has a lot of trouble with both paneling and pacing.
Also there's only a single interesting character. The protagonist is thematically cool but incredibly boring in personality.

Fire Punch is the first iteration of Kino Manga, Kinonga if you will. It truly transcended the medium and I will never experience anything the same post-Fire Punch.

I really enjoy how it's such a wild a fun ride, and for that alone is one of the best manga I've ever read.
>The last spice to this is the main character making the most retarded and unrealistic decisions.

Of course it would seem unrealistic to someone who's never experienced those things firsthand. I don't blame you

>Tons of chapters where the story isn't really progressing and uninteresting side stuff is told. There isn't a single chapter that is irrelevant to the main story its all context for whats happening in fact there isn't even a side story. >The side characters actions/story don't lead anywhere, even though the manga tries to make you think that. And they get like 2/3 of the screen time regardless. That's sort of the point you think its going to be like a more normal shonen story where Agni is hooking up with other people and befriending them giving him a more rounded life. But it shows how myopic Agni is all he can think about is Luna and his revenge. This is straight up told to the reader I don't know how the fuck you could miss this? >The last spice to this is the main character making the most retarded and unrealistic decisions.

Which is in no way comprehendable, since inbetween these decisions, he is always shown as someone that supposedly cares about others, even in his own monologues. Are you illiterate or something or did you miss the fact that Agni is literally out of his mind and completely incapable of making real bonds with people due to feeling like he needs to act all the time. He's a tormented child in a man's body he doesn't exactly have the best decision making skills.

Typical average shounen brainlets.Filtered.

A bit too nihilistic for my tastes. At the beginning it was a story of growth and forgiveness but then Agni's development kept making weird turns and I don't really know what to think about this.
Fujimoto is so smart bro like he looked like he was gonna do the thing then didnt
Zachary Parker
why the fuck do all these manga go from nothing to mega-popularity on Zig Forums around the time they're ending? This pattern repeats every time
Dominic Richardson
Except they dont.Fire Punch already had a small cult following on Zig Forums and a few shitposters that spammed agniface as a substitute to wojak. Then when the quarantine started FP was on of the first storytimes and it almost broke Zig Forums the last two threads getting 1000 posts.From that time you either hate it,love it or LIVE it.
Also most people like to discuss shit when its complete.

You just don't pay enough attention
Xavier Gonzalez
trying too hard
Juan Foster
Literally just a newbie mangaka flailing around, overly relying on shock value
Um yyeeeaaaaah no. It seems YOUR the one who doesn't understand.
Being kind and having an easy life are NO WHERE near related.
Noah Ortiz
He's not wrong. Fire Punch despite being a shonen is clearly not targeted to a shonen audience, but will attract shonen readers nevertheless. Shonen readers aren't used to reading nuanced, though-provoking stories so they come off as brainlets
