I think this was a very solid first volume. I really enjoyed how fun and unique the story was. I will definitely be checking out the rest of this series. I would say my rating is more of a 4.5 stars, and I really wavered between giving it a five stars. I think there was only one thing that threw me off in this volume, the girl at the very end. Other than her the characters are awesome!
This starts with action, flame people, fights scenes, and creepy smiles!!! This manga is an underdog story that I need in my life! If you love Naruto, Black clover, FMA, and One Piece, then this is the manga for you!!!
So disappointing!! There was an interesting premise here and then unnecessary crude humor had to ruin it. For years people have been spontaneously combusting and lately seem to take on powers and become fire devils that wreak havoc. Our main character’s mother was taken by a fire and he himself has some fire controlling powers (and a creepy devilish grin). Wanting to be a hero and find out the truth about his mother’s death he becomes the newest recruit of the Fire Squad 8, whose HQ is in a cathedral and there’s a nun on the team. There were some questions left to be answered about the world but unnecessary nudity (did we really need a shower scene with the only two female characters randomly at the beginning??) and unnecessary groping (another recruit distracts our MC during a competition by having him fall into her breast and grope her??) left me feeling icky after reading it and not interested in reading more. Super bummer because other than those things it seemed interesting.

My first manga ever (gifted by a friend) I thought it was pretty funny and humorous but the fan service was definitely a surprise. I don’t exactly know how I feel about it :/
Overall, the plot, world building, and characters seemed to be very simplistic and thus sorta basic

Die Reihe habe ich lange ignoriert, weil ich dachte, dieser Action-Manga ist eher nichts für mich. Aber dann habe ich ihn doch immer wieder irgendwo bei Social Media gesehen und die Leser waren so begeistert, dass ich dann zugegriffen habe, als das Bundle herauskam. Hier gab es dann die ersten beiden Teile samt Extras für 9,98€.
In diesem ersten Band gab es einen niedlichen Stickerbogen dazu.
Der Manga hat mich wirklich sehr, sehr positiv überrascht. Ich bin mit wenig Erwartungen herangegangen und war dann richtig geflashed von der interessanten Story und dem super Zeichenstil.
Es geht hier um einen Jungen, der etwas tragisches erlebt hat und nun Feuerwehrmann werden will. Diese Feuerwehrmänner in dem Manga sind aber etwas besonderes, also keine reinen Menschen. Was genau sie sind bzw. was sie können möchte ich aber nicht verraten. Sie bekämpfen auch keinen normalen Feuer sondern Feuerwesen. Wie diese entstehen und wie sie bekämpft werden, fand ich sehr erfrischend neu und es hat mich wirklich gepackt. Am meisten war ich aber davon überrascht, dass ich mich wirklich sofort mit dem Hauptcharakter identifizieren konnte und richtig mit ihm mitfühlte. Das passiert mir so gut wie nie bei Mangas. Die Charaktere bekommen hier Tiefe und ihre Geschichten sind teils geheimnisvoll und immer individuell und interessant. Ich freue mich schon ungemein auf die nächsten Teile und möchte dringend herausfinden, was hinter diesen Feuermonstern steckt und was die Geschichten der einzelnen Charaktere noch zu bieten haben.
Der Zeichenstil ist her comichaft, was ich ja sehr liebe. Überhaupt erinnert mich vieles an My Hero Academia, nur dass ich Fire Force noch viel persönlicher bzw. emotionaler finde und richtig mitfiebere.

Thoughts: Not gonna lie, I avoided this series for a while mostly due to me being unmotivated to finish [b:Soul Eater, Vol. 01|6406018|Soul Eater, Vol. 1 (Soul Eater, #1)|Atsushi Ohkubo|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1443900841l/6406018._SY75_.jpg|6594903]. I like Soul Eater, but with all the other manga I was reading at the time (and I have since found new series) I just decided to put it on hold. I didn't want to start Fire Force until I finished Soul Eater, but decided to go for it since I caught up to most of the ongoing weekly series that I've been reading.
I initially read Chapter 0 and Chapter 1 and put it down for a day. I was intrigued, so I went back to it yesterday morning. Since then I've sped through up til Chapter 90, and I can honestly say that I'm hooked. New stuff has been getting added when it comes to the Fire Abilities, and even though the latest one I encountered is a bit out there, it doesn't deter me at all and I'm still fully invested.
Whereas with Soul Eater I liked it but didn't mind putting it down for a long period of time, Fire Force is one that just interested me enough to keep catching up and still take the plunge to start buying physical copies. The first volume isn't anything special, but seeing that at the time of this review I'm at Chapter 90 (which I think is probably around Volume 11) I feel very confident that I will continue liking the series. I highly encourage reading up to Volume 3 if possible so you can get a proper feel of the story, characters and abilities.
Little note for myself: I'm honestly thinking of going back to every single manga review I have on Goodreads and applying it only to the first volume. It just begins to be a hassle with the way GR is set up to rate and review each individual volume. It really skews my average ratings on here and begins to be a pain to sort through.
