About
Set in a large hospital, this moving human drama depicts the conflicts and struggles of two young doctors as they face their patients with conviction and passion. Kazuma Asou, who helps out in his friend's clinic, is a doctor enjoying a peaceful life on rural Ishigaki Island. However, his father's death causes him to move to Tokyo and he starts working for a big hospital where he meets his old rival from his amateur boxing days, surgeon Kanzaki. Memories of their past return, and Asou finds himself once again competing with his popular counterpart. Their rivalry is further exacerbated by the two men's wildly different personalities, and it begins to involve the other doctors and nurses.
