The Fire Force manga entered its final arc in October 2021, and now the creator Atsushi Ohkubo said in his Dark Souls live stream that it will end in a few chapters, while he only has 2 left to draw. There are 32 compilation volumes as of December 2021, and it’s set to end with 2 more. You can see the cover of volume 1:
Kodansha licensed the manga in English, and there are currently 25 translated volumes. They describe the story:
The city of Tokyo is plagued by a deadly phenomenon: spontaneous human combustion! Luckily, a special team is there to quench the inferno: The Fire Force! The fire soldiers at Special Fire Cathedral 8 are about to get a unique addition. Enter Shinra, a boy who possesses the power to run at the speed of a rocket, leaving behind the famous “devil’s footprints” (and destroying his shoes in the process). Can Shinra and his colleagues discover the source of this strange epidemic before the city burns to ashes?
The series got an anime adaptation in 2019, and it had 24 episodes. Animated by David Production, it then announced a 2nd season immediately in December 2019. The sequel aired in 2020, and it also ran for 24 episodes.
Fire Force is a popular shonen manga, and it entered its final arc in 2021, just like several others big series which are close their ending. Some of them are Tokyo Revengers which is also in its final arc, Jujutsu Kaisen which is planned to end soon, My Hero Academia in its final act, and One Piece in its final stage. We’ll see which of the new ones will take the top, and Kaiju No. 8 already seems like it will be a big contender.
