In May 2020, Ōkubo announced that Fire Force would be his final manga. On the second day of Anime Expo 2016 (), Kodansha Comics USA announced that they had officially licensed En'en no Shōbōtai under the name Fire Force, beginning publication in North America on November 8th, 2016. As the manga carries a heavy and dark theme, Ōkubo thought it was fitting to have a main protagonist with a smile that 'he can't help but make when he wants to be serious, rather than an open and carefree smile' that is common among other main protagonists. In a conversation with Fairy Tail's author, Hiro Mashima, the author of Fire Force, Atsushi Ōkubo, stated that everybody in the manga having an ability relating to fire could be interesting, jokingly saying it branches from his own monomania. It also has 33 volumes published in Japanese, and 26 in English. As of April 10th, 2022, Fire Force has 304 chapters.
