Fire Force TV Anime Reveals Main Staff

The official website for the television anime of Atsushi Ohkubo's Fire Force (En En no Shōbōtai) manga announced the main staff on Tuesday. Yuki Yase (Mekaku City Actors, Hidamari Sketch × Honeycomb) is directing at David Production (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Cells at Work!). Yamato Haishima is in charge of the series scripts, and Hideyuki Morioka (Kizumonogatari, Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei) is designing the characters.

Gakuto Kajiwara (Black Clover's Asta) voices the protagonist Kusakabe Shinra (pictured below). The website also unveiled a new teaser visual.

Kodansha Comics publishes the manga in English, and it describes the story:

Terror has paralyzed the clockwork metropolis of Tokyo! Possessed by demons, people have begun to burst into flame, leading to the establishment of a special firefighting team: the Fire Force, ready to roll on a moment's notice to fight spontaneous combustion anywhere it might break out. The team is about to get a very unique addition: Shinra, a boy who possesses the unique power to run at the speed of a rocket, leaving behind the famous "devil's footprints" (and destroying his shoes in the process). Can the Fire Force discover the source of this strange phenomenon and put a stop to it? Or will the city burn to ashes first?

Ohkubo (Soul Eater) launched the series in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in September 2015. Kodansha published the manga's 15th volume on November 16. Kodansha Comics shipped the 12th volume in English on October 16.
