Masahiko Murata will direct the series at Brain’s Base, which was originally announced on December 14. Megumi no Daigo Kyuukoku no Orange is a sequel to the 1995-1999 Megumi no Daigo manga and serialized in Kodansha’s Monthly Shonen Magazine magazine with six collected volumes released in Japan. VIZ Media publishes an English language version of the original Megumi no Daigo manga under the title Firefighter!: Daigo of Fire Company M, and describes the story:

 

Fire, smoke, adrenaline, and fear–when everyone is running to escape from a fire, a few courageous people are running to jump right into the thick of it. Firefighters put their own lives on the line to protect others and Daigo Asahina has always dreamed of becoming one. He’s fresh out of the training academy and has been newly assigned to Medaka-Ga-Hama fire station. Cocky and overconfident, Daigo responds to a few calls and is quickly humbled and put in his place–he’s still got a lot to learn before he can call himself a true firefighter.
