Fire Force Reaches New Sales Milestone After Manga's Finale

By Nick Valdez

Atsushi Okubo's Fire Force might have ended its run with Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine, but the release of the newest and final volume of the series has broken the franchise through to a huge new sales milestone! The original manga series ended its run earlier this Spring, and with it had introduced fans of Okubo's works to some pretty surprise connections that weren't spotted before. The franchise is still heating up even with the manga's finale, however, as not only are the volumes flying off shelves but the anime adaptation will be making a coming in the future as well.

The 34th and final volume of Fire Force is now hitting shelves in Japan, and Kodansha's official website has announced that with it the manga series now has 20 million copies in circulation around the world since its initial debut back in 2015. It's a huge milestone for the series as the manga is still completing its run in international territories, and goes to show just how big of a series it was as it came to a close. You can check out the cover art for Fire Force Volume 34 below from the series' official Twitter account: 

As mentioned, the Fire Force franchise is only heating up from this point on. The manga might have ended, but the anime has announced plans to return for a third season. The potential returning staff, cast, and release date information have yet to be revealed for these new episodes as of this writing, unfortunately, but fans have been waiting on news for a third season for quite a while! If you wanted to catch up with Fire Force before the third season premieres, you can now find the first two seasons streaming with Crunchyroll. 

They tease the series as such, "Tokyo is burning, and citizens are mysteriously suffering from spontaneous human combustion all throughout the city! Responsible for snuffing out this inferno is the Fire Force, and Shinra is ready to join their fight. Now, as part of Company 8, he'll use his devil's footprints to help keep the city from turning to ash! But his past and a burning secret behind the scenes could set everything ablaze."
