Fire Force Manga Entered Its ‘Climax,’ Will be Ending Soon

In an interview given last year, Atsushi Okubo said that Fire Force manga will probably end with Volume 30. He said it could change, but anyhow, it won’t exceed than 50.

The manga is already in its final stage. We will soon see how Shinra’s name is tied with the mystery of human combustion.

That could mean we are already about halfway through it. Let us look forward to where the author takes us. Rest assured, Atsushi will not be rushing to an end, given this work will be part of his legacy.

Atsushi had recently stated that not only has the Fire Force manga entered its ‘climax,’ it will also be his final manga series.

Ohkubo stated in the Atsushiya of volume 23 that Fire Force will be his final manga series… he also said that Fire Force is in its final stage, though that was already pretty clear. Ooft…

Now that is pretty sad news, because he still has a huge potential for good manga in him. But it’s good that he’s able to end it on his own terms.

With some little math I did for you guys, we can guess how much longer we can keep enjoying Fire Force.

Okubo releases a new chapter almost every week. So I’d estimate 45 chapters a year. So, 30 volumes would be 259-267 chapters, which would mean till mid-2021.

And for 50 volumes, there would be 439-447 chapters, which would estimate an ending in mid-2025. I find it better for things to have a good short run, not like one of Oda’s master life plans.

But we have seen that the mangaka’s prediction of the manga’s end is always slightly off. My Hero Academia mangaka, Kohei Horikoshi, said that the series will end around Volume 30. As the series is nowhere near being done as of now, let’s just enjoy it.
