Synopsis

The story begins when Takino, a female orthopedic surgeon, meets Tokushige Akira, a general medicine doctor who treats patients as whole individuals and uncovers the root of their illnesses.

Though Tokushige may appear calm, aloof, and hard to read at first glance, at his core is a powerful desire to face people, to value life, and to save others. Under his care, patients with complex symptoms—those who don’t even know which department to visit—or even cases that leave specialists baffled after thorough testing, come one after another.

How does Tokushige, as a general practitioner, help untangle and guide these patients – people who brush off their pain saying, “I shouldn’t take time off for something like this,” or those who hide their true feelings and family issues while silently enduring suffering? This is the heart of Tokushige’s approach to healing.
