The World Bows Down Before My Flames

Asahi Homura is an ordinary high school student who got reincarnated into another world to defeat a demon lord. Unfortunately, she is forced to deal with the antics of four other reincarnators who are each far from normal—an assassin, a mad scientist, a robot, and a living bioweapon. However, Homura may have to accept that she is not normal either—a pyromaniac with pyrokinesis who enjoys incinerating evildoers. What will happen when this group of over-the-top teenage girls is unleashed onto the world? Will they save it, or burn it all to the ground?

Asahi Homura (穂村朝日, Homura Asahi)

Commonly referred to as just Homura (ホムラ, Homura), she is a high school student with pyrokinesis who got reincarnated into another world after committing suicide over ostracization due to her powers. Though a bit of a chuunibyou and a lolicon, at first glance, she appears to be the "normal" one of her group. However, she later realizes and accepts that she is actually a pyromaniac who hates injustice and hypocrisy due to how she was mistreated, taking sadistic joy in incinerating evildoers.

Jin (ジン, Jin)

Real name Sakura Karasuma (烏丸桜, Karasuma Sakura), she is a katana-wielding assassin who got reincarnated into another world after being forced to commit seppuku by her clan when she refused to kill innocents. Though seemingly a cold-blooded murderer, she actually derives no joy from killing at all. Having spent her whole life following orders, she finally begins thinking for herself after reincarnating into the other world, eventually realizing that she is a battle junky who enjoys fighting strong opponents.

Saiko (才子, Saiko)

Nicknamed Psycho (サイコ, Saiko), she is a self-professed mad scientist obsessed with b movie monsters. She developed healing magic after being reincarnated into the other world, which she uses in unconventional ways by mutating her enemies into monsters under her command. A rude girl who causes trouble wherever she goes, she is arguably the companion Homura is closest to, though this unfortunately stems from the two constantly arguing with each other.

Proto (プロト, Puroto)

A mechanical being originating from outer space, she was discovered by human scientists and made to attend high school. As a robot, she possesses superhuman strength and endurance, and wields a hammer as her primary weapon. Convinced of her superiority over the "carbon-based life-forms", she is cocky and showoffish with no understanding of human customs.

Tsutsumi (ツツミ, Tsutsumi)

Codename 223, she is a failed bioweapon who got reincarnated into another world after being disposed of. Though deemed a defective product by her creators, she developed biokinesis after some fine-tuning by Saiko. Possessing a child-like appearance and personality, her companions treat her as a little sister-figure, even though she is actually around the same age as them.
