A new action fantasy set in a steampunk Tokyo from the creator of the smash-hit Soul Eater!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 time has come for Company 8 to fill its roster. Now that they have a scientist in the form of the very suspicious Viktor Licht, Captain Obi sends Shinra, Arthur, and Iris to recruit an engineer. Vulcan is an exceptionally talented machinist, but his deep-seated hatred of Haijima Industries and the Fire Force means Shinra and company have their work cut out for them. Will they survive this recruitment endeavor?
