Firefighter! Daigo of Fire Company M serves another example of how eclectic Japanese comics can be. Daigo is an 18-year-old boy living in the town of Medaka-ga-hama. Daigo was able to pass an extremely difficult test into becoming a firefighter, an even more miraculous feat considering his age. But it’s not heroism that inspires him; it’s his crush on his lovely former teacher Ms. Ochiai, and he wants to impress her with his new uniform. However, being a firefighter is far from easy, and he has a childhood fear that he must conquer: He has always been scared of fire.
