Story
Fire Force (Japanese: 炎炎ノ消防隊, Hepburn: En’en no Shōbōtai, lit. “Blazing Fire Brigade”) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Atsushi Ōkubo. It has been serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine since September 2015, and collected into 26 tankōbon volumes as of November 2020. In North America, the manga has been licensed for English language release by Kodansha USA. Still reeling from the childhood trauma of losing his family to a blaze, Shinra Kusakabe endures both the blessing and curse of being a third-generation pyrokinetic: a person gifted with the ability to freely control fire.
Meanwhile, the Infernals—first-generation pyrokinetics who spontaneously combust into flaming, demonic creatures—ravage the streets of Tokyo. After he is recognized for his abilities, Shinra joins Special Fire Force Company 8, one of many fire brigades developed to combat these Infernals. One of the Fire Force teams is about to get a unique addition: Shinra, a boy who possesses the unique power to run at the speed of a rocket, leaving behind the famous “devil’s footprints” and destroying his shoes in the process.
Can the Fire Force discover the source of this strange phenomenon and put a stop to it? Or will the city burn to ashes first?
