Wie schon bei Band 1 in der Review erwähnt, hat mich diese Reihe einfach total umgehauen. Ich bin gefesselt von der Story und möchte wissen wie es weiter geht, was hinter all dem steckt, welcher Charakter, was im Schilde führt... Die Charaktere sind so interessant und bekommen genug Tiefe, dass mit mitfiebert und mitfühlt. Von den Fanservice-Szenen war ich dann etwas überrascht, das sie für mich so aus dem nichts kamen und nicht so recht in das Format passen. Ich habe aber grundsätzlich kein Problem damit und es ist hier auch wirklich sehr gering.
Inhaltlich will ich nichts verraten, da es der zweite Teil ist, aber es wird halt immer interessanter und neue Charaktere kommen dazu. Ich habe schon etliche Theorien im Kopf, was hier noch so passieren könnte und wahrscheinlich passiert dann irgendwas ganz anderes. Ich bin so gespannt und habe mir gleich nach Beenden dieses zweiten Teils die nächsten 4 Teile bestellt.

Whoop whoop, the second volume! I am so excited that it is licensed in German! This is such a fun series, with lots of action, twists and turns, and hilarious situations. There are some parts that made me go eh??? but in general I loved every part of this volume. Can't wait for the third volume to come out.

Summary:

Fire has always been a thing of nightmares for many. In this world, people are at risk of spontaneously combusting and turning into Infernals. An Infernal wants only one thing - to destroy. They are no longer considered human. That is where the Fire Force comes into play. It's their duty to protect the people.

Shinra has officially joined the Fire Force; only things aren't going quite as he expected. Yes, his abilities have been put to great use...but he isn't any closer to finding more information about the death of his family. The past still haunts him. So imagine his surprise when he finds a villain promising some answers.

Review:

And so the series continues! I feel like Fire Force hit its stride in the second volume. That's usually the case as the world has been established, and now we can focus on getting to know the characters and their stories.

As expected, Fire Force Vol. 2 has plenty of action. There are also a few surprising twists. I say "surprising" because while I expected twists to happen, I thought it would have been another volume or two before we dove into those elements. Not that I'm complaining.

This volume adds a lot to the complexity of the world. There are eight different Fire Forces, and they all seem to have different origins/motives. That's pretty fascinating, and I hope we can learn more about that in future volumes.

The fan service ramped up in Fire Force Vol. 2, adding another character to the mix. Not surprising, but worth commenting on.

Highlights:
Manga – Shonen
Connected to Soul Eater
Lots of Action
