Hikuidori: Ushuu Boro Tobi-gumi

Matsunaga Gengo was once Edo's greatest samurai firefighter, known as the Fire-Eating Bird after standing against a devastating blaze. He eventually walked away from that life for reasons of his own, until the Shinjo Domain offers him the task of rebuilding a penniless fire brigade that everyone else treats as a joke.

Encouraged by his wife Miyuki, Gengo gathers a collection of difficult misfits and turns the Ragged Fire-Slayers into a team committed to saving every life they can. At the same time, suspicious fires known as “foxfires” spread through Edo. Between flames, rivalries, and an emerging arson mystery, Gengo returns to the world he tried to leave because the city still needs people willing to run into the fire when everyone else runs away.
