Volume 2 of Fire Punch delves farther into its depressing and bizarre world, and the deep sadness of the manga is heightened by Agni's awful belief that Judah is his dead sister. Togata is undoubtedly one of the most twisted and insane characters in the manga so far, and the almost complete lack of any kind of redeemable traits in any character disturbs me as much as it fascinates me, I'm still questioning myself as to why I am so invested in this world and it's the story. That scene where Togata teaches Agni English was so absurd and weird that I can’t believe I actually read it.
