Key Events and Characters
The story begins in a lonely world where the few remaining humans fight for survival. In this world, some individuals possess unique abilities known as “Blessings.” The main character, Agni, has the Blessing of regeneration, allowing him to heal rapidly from injury. He and his sister Luna live in a small, starving community, where they sustain others by allowing them to eat their regenerating limbs—a grim but necessary act for survival.
Tragedy strikes when a man named Doma, who possesses the Blessing of fire that never extinguishes, burns down their village, killing Luna and leaving Agni engulfed in flames that won’t stop burning. Consumed by rage and agony, Agni survives, continuously regenerating despite being on fire, and vows to take revenge on Doma. The volume follows Agni’s transformation into the titular “Fire Punch,” a figure of hope and terror as he begins his journey for vengeance.
