A young writer named Taro Mima (Tomoya Nakamura) is in a bit of a slump since he won the newcomer award some years back, for his first book “Hell”. But since then his novels haven’t quite taken off, and is under pressure by his editor Nakayamada (Koji Yamamoto) to produce his next book.
When he gets notice in the mail that parties are interested in purchasing his childhood home in Hayabusa and he needs to look it over, he uses it as an opportunity to get away from the bustle and demands of the city.
Once there, however, he is charmed by the rustic small village and, though overrun with bugs, he decides to keep the house and live in it. Taro has been estranged from his Father for years, even before his death, and has not been home since he was a youngster of 5 or 6. But the warmth touches him and, after just one day there, hears him say to himself, “for the first time, I feel alive.”
As he’s been away for practically his whole life, he doesn’t remember any of the people there, folks who say they are like aunts and uncles to him are strangers to him. A guy named Kansuke (Shinnosuke Mitsushima) visits him and chides Taro for not remembering his childhood friend, telling him of how they would play tokusatsu super-hero games in his backyard.
Kansuke invites Taro to the town restaurant, where he eventually finds he has been brought there to meet with the local volunteer Fire Brigade, of whom Kansuke is a member of.
The men (among them Namase Katsuhisa, Jun Hashimoto, Takashi Okabe and others) want Taro to join their forces as a volunteer, aggressively trying to convince him to be a member. But Taro has moved there to become a writer, and so, citing the fact that he has no physical skills and is bad around groups, politely declines.
This outlook of his is about to change when one day, while out fishing with Kansuke, a fire breaks out at the home of one of his Uncles. Tagging along to help, Taro sees firsthand how committed and brave these men are, working fiercely to get the fire under control and braving the fires within to save the inhabitants.
Talking with his Uncle a few days later, he is reminded of the childhood stories he’d write as a kid, stories of him being a super-hero who would protect his home and hometown from all the evils of the world.
He realizes these firefighters are doing just what he promised HE would do, and thus, with the help of some alcohol, faces the fire Brigade once again, and this time officially requests to be permitted to join them.
WELL! This news is met with much cheering and camaraderie, and before you know it, he has been given his own uniform and has officially been made a member of the Department!
Taro hopes to make something of himself in this town as a firefighter, and he’s even begun writing again, all of it very good and ready for serialization. 
Only time (and future episodes) will tell who she is and what her agenda may be….
Another drama I found myself TRANSFIXED watching!!! Unlike a lot of J-dramas, you never know just what you are supposed to be feeling: warmth, happiness, guilt or suspicion as the scenes play out, keeping me on my TOES and ond the edge of my seat trying to guess what comes NEXT!
