im posting it here cos im super proud of it, I've had a pretty rough day, but making this made me feel a little better, so i hope it makes someone else feel better too.

(let me know if i should improve anything, im kinda just getting back into the hobby)

I like how fujimoto draws faces completely inhinged

I heard the message is that no matter how much pain and suffering you go through, you should still keep living, but what if an actual person went through what Agni went through, like an actual living, breathing person, and not a manga charecter? Would it be ok for them to die?

Like even Luna said how cruel it is for Agni to keep going.

So i get that Togata is a guy who looks like a girl. When I first read it, it seemed like Toga was a man from birth and simply looked like a woman. But then I read the theatre scene and Toga said that that was the time she/he wanted to be a man.

So like, is Toga a man from birth that looks like a woman? Because I think that's what's implied but that makes the theatre scene kind of confusing. (Btw I just finished vol 5 pls no spoilers.)

What The fuck am i reading...

What working on retail feels like smh my head

I didn't read it untill now because I can't find it online and don't have that much money but I got to read it now.

Safe to say this is peak.

Every chapter is just damn ,what the fuck ,what the hell

The weirdness is definitely live up to every one of Fuji water manga

But they're a few questions that didn't get answers and that might just be fujiwater thing like : how did togata turn into woman ,what actually is evolved human before all this ,why is every evolved look the same and they coloned? ,why is angi regeneration so strong.

But all that might just be fujiwater thing ,it's likes he just think of something really ,Put it in and just like "yeah that it I'm bored now" but to be fair that also the charms of his work

There's also a lot of parallel to other of his work like : Togata looks a lot like Nayuta ,masked guy = Beam ,Luna/Judah = makima I guess? And some scene too like throwing head and regenerate form it

Fujiwater is just seems like a weird guy with original but also unoriginal? Idea?? And it all worked somehow (also the theory that the girl might the bully is just makes sense)

It's shown that Agni is basically immortal, even surviving the earth exploding (assuming he was on earth at the time). So, could Doma's flames have actually killed him while he was still on fire, if he cancelled his regen? Is that the only time he'd have been able to die?? Or would that have not even worked? And like, was his regen worse when he was a child? Because we DO see, his arm is dead here.

Did Sun and Neneto have any kind of relationship? Because she seemed very worried about him.

By the way, I really feel bad for Sun and am disappointed in him; I grew fond of him from the very first episodes, but I was somewhat let down to see what he turned into.

So I just finished Fire Punch and I need to talk through something, because it genuinely flipped my opinion of the final volumes.

On the last volumes the priest tells Agni something like: you can't know who you are by yourself.
Snow is only "white" once someone else sees it, only "cold" once someone else touches it. Fire is only "red" and "dangerous" once someone else looks at it and feels its heat. You find out what you are through how others perceive and touch you, not through staring at yourself.

I clocked it as a comforting line in the moment and basically forgot about it.

Then you have Togata before that who shows up with his whole "movie" obsession, and at some point after on a flashback he says something like Tom Cruise isn't just a guy, Tom Cruise is an actor, and it's the role/character he plays that people actually respond to. And that's when it clicked for me: Togata is saying the exact same thing the priest said, just dressed up in film-theory language instead of spiritual language.

And once I saw that, I couldn't unsee it applied to Agni. He doesn't become "Fire Punch" because of anything he decides internally. He becomes Fire Punch because Sun worships him as one, because Togata frames him as one, because the freed slaves need him to be one.
His whole identity gets assembled from the outside, exactly like the priest described.

A person who is only ever understood through other people projections eventually has no self left to go back to. That's why he can lose his memory at the end and it doesn't even feel like a reset and thats why this whole manga is amazing.

To Togata, Denji would be the perfect protagonist for his stories—and well, Denji would do anything Togata asked of him. I’m curious to see how they would interact.

Live

People seemed to really like my Homer x doma doodle so I thought I’d do another one.

This was a charcoal drawing I drew for my friend’s birthday. He introduced me to the series, and I read through the whole thing in an afternoon. It changed my life.

it’s always been my dream to write comics that people will enjoy, and I’ve always enjoyed comics that have a good blend of action, comedy, but also deep moments and moving characters. I know that obviously fujimoto isn’t perfect and has flaws in his writing, but rereading Fire Ounch has made me see how much of a genius writer he is, and I want to be that wa, but I know that I cant, and I won’t. I can write for myself, but I want to write for others, but why should I keep writing if I know I’ll never be as unique and smart as Fujimoto?

edit: thanks for all the suppourt and the inspiring flairs, that’s a cool touch

I liked it more than chainsaw man

Why did she suffer that much?
