STORY
One of the more popular manga currently running in SHONEN SUNDAY (out of date) is ME GUMI NO DAIGO. Daigo is a young firefighter who has an uncanny ability to find and rescue people who are in trouble. While the series naturally has lots of action and some nail-biting cliffhangers, there is no combat. There is blood, but only on those injured in fires and accidents. There is no sex—only a troubled, vague romance between Daigo and a teacher who thinks he's putting himself in too much risk. There is no mecha or space scenes; this is everyday Japan. There is no weird science fiction or magical sorcery; the strangest it gets is Daigo's mysterious impulses, which practically drag him into dangerous situations to rescue and save lives. There is, however, plenty of internal emotional drama within our hero, as he at first tries to exorcise the strange impulses that pulls him to those in danger, and then later comes to understand more and more about himself. - Eri Izawa
