Fire Rabbit

A manga about genius Mahiro Todaka who quits his dream of becoming a professional gamer after a fighter fighter Itsuki Tendo loses his life saving him. Mahiro is aided by the ghost of Tendo and joins the Fire Rabbit squad to become a fire fighter who will someday surpass Tendo.

I really enjoyed this manga. The setup was pretty straight forward but I liked the dynamic of the Mahiro and the ghost Itsuki. They make a competitive ranking system for the different fire fighter squads. I thought it was pretty silly but it made sense since the Mahiro analyzes everything through statistics and video games.

Unfortunately this series ended after six volumes. It’s a shame because I felt like there could’ve been more story to tell but I guess it wasn’t popular enough to continue. I’ll be keeping an eye out for more works by Aya Hirakawa in the future.
