Plot
Fire Candy takes place in a near-future fictional Earth, where unexplained but worldwide hormonal discrepancies in the human species brought a catastrophic crackdown of humanity's ability to reproduce themselves, depriving them forever of such a natural asset. Searching for a way to prevent their own extinction, humans found a way out of the crisis by means of interbreeding with animals, thus giving birth to the so-called Halfs, hybrids between human beings and beasts. This story focuses on one group of such creatures, juveniles discriminated and loathed by ordinary humans, in their daily struggles. It is to be noted that Ryoki and his gang acts as anti-heroes, given the fact that they often brawl, steal or maim, though always against other street delinquents. Ironically, it's through their acts that they demonstrate to be all too human, even though being physically half-animals.
Because the manga was never finished, what happened after the second volume is left unknown to this day. (there was a message at the end of the second volume hinting that the managa may resume in the future, it is only a slight possibility as the manga artist has shown no clear intent of finishing the series and may remain unfinished)

why are they no help to me now
I want to make
something imagined, not recalled?”
