From the start it's so comically bleak that it's impossible to take seriously. How am I meant to feel shocked or emotionally affected at any moment when the series immediately kicks off with child cannibalism before I'm even properly introduced to the characters or the world?

Just wait ~10 chapters in when the hack realizes a mute dude on fire can't carry a manga and has to introduce le meta film maker character.
Aiden Robinson
You seriously underestimate how bleak this story can get
Jonathan Sullivan
Just enjoy the 7/10 ride user.
Hunter Watson
>every manga with a supporting cast means the author is a hack
retard
John Green
>How am I meant to feel
I didn't like but even I think you sound like a whiny faggot
Dylan Morgan
It's not for everyone. Drop it and go back to MHA.
Parker Cook
And I literally don't care because it's immediately numbing
>nooo you can't make fun of the hilariously edgy series I like, it's really cool!
Thomas Diaz
it's good
Noah Bell
If you have a double-digit IQ
Luis Robinson
Go back to reading your shonenshit
Connor Campbell
Same, it's like a parody of try hard edginess masquerading as art.
Juan Turner
It's done on purpose, vol 1 is the great pleb filter and it worked, it's basically all a lie.
vol 2 when Togata gets introduced is where the manga actually starts.
You just got filtered, don't read it, go read something more your caliber.
Michael King
>shonenshit
But Fire Punch is a Shonen..?
Carson Foster
And great if you have a high triple digit IQ.
Fire Punch is the quintessential anti-midwit manga.
99 IQ (or lower) = wow cool fire punch
100 - 129 IQ = THIS COMIC IS NOTHING BUT PSEUDO-INTELLECTUAL DRIVEL WITH BAD PACING, SLOPPY ARTWORK AND NEEDLESS TORTURE PORN.
130 IQ or greater = wow cool fire punch
Mason Bell
It certainly is something different but it's not good. It flip flops all over the place while relying too much on shock value.
Carson Hall
>you just don't get it
the worst fucking argument ever, you said nothing about what's good about it, just that it is because it is and that's it
great job
Neil Druckmann and Kojima are getting tired of waiting, you can't just stop licking their balls to spout that shit, they're perfectly capable of saying "you're too dumb to understand my art, haha" themselves.
Jonathan Howard
Fire Punch has worse writing than even mediocre shonen, and that's saying something
This is cope
Asher Ward
Spoken like a true room temperature IQ denizen.
Mason Rivera
But I read beyond volume 1 and it was still bad
Jose Morales
Mad.
Ryder Powell
Like I said you got filtered, you're just not the one to like it man, there are plenty of other things out there waiting for you to enjoy, some things are not for you and some are.
How hard is that to understand? Different people like different things.
Why are you trying to understand why some people like what you didn't like? Some people like pineapple on pizza, some don't.
You don't like fire punch, that doesn't mean anything, that's literally every thing in the universe, it's like by some and not liked by others, boom fucking solved it for ya.
Samuel Collins
Hhahaha fucking based
Jason Collins
Still no argument I see.
yes, excellent me dearie, you sure showed us why it's a good manga and didn't make yourself look like a pretentious wanker with nothing to back up your words
Dylan Scott
This sounds like butthurt
Charles Johnson
>le meta film maker character.
Never understood this type of character really. Same with the faggot in koe no katashi
Oliver Gomez
Because if you stepped in our shoes you'd know the insanity of trying to explain every bit and piece to speedreading contrarians for years.
It's an extremely divisive manga so at this point it's obvious when someone just can't cant connect with it/misses the point just from one post.
It's just tiresome.
Nathan Clark
Why are you replying seriously to hipsters? I assume you are new on this?
Ian Phillips
Every time elitists like a Shonen series, they go on loops about how "It's actually a seinen"
Samuel Allen
>It's just tiresome
Fire Punch fags are annoying so this is pretty ironic
Evan Peterson
Kek, what is your favorite manga?
Elijah Diaz
Stay mad, non-super genius.
Jonathan Thomas
Even better when they try "soft seinen".
Matthew Gomez
Based. Crying about the pacing is shit you only see from midwit plotfags (redundant, I know), the artwork shouldn't even be a point of contention since the raw emotion in key moments is still effectively communicated to the reader (see Agni face), and why do they even cry about the awful shit that happens when the story has a consistent cynical tone? It's like they've only ever read idealistic works.
Joshua Smith
Just because something is aimed at children, doesn't mean it isn't aimed at adults.
Daniel Rivera
Sounds like deflection of legitimate criticisms
Jayden Campbell
Let me guess, let me guess. It's "mature-shonen"?
Ryder Mitchell
I can't imagine any well-educated adult enjoying the juvenility of Fire Punch's depiction of "dark" or "mature" topics
Ian Cooper
SOFT SEINEN you fucking retard. When will you shounenshitters get it?
Juan Nelson
Oh I definitely agree. For every hate thread there is a praise thread.
Personally I think it's a masterpiece but it already gets so much exposure here that I try not to bring it up in discussion.
I guess it's mostly tiresome for those who want genuine discussion
