Synopsis

Surgeon Kaji Hideki finds himself transferred to the Imperial Medical University’s 11th Shizuoka Branch Hospital, where hospital director Ito Shuichi makes an unexpected proposal. Surprisingly, Ito wants to recommend Kaji as the next professor in the upcoming faculty election! Despite his keen interest in money, Kaji shows no desire for status or power and politely declines the offer. However, three days later, during surgery, Kaji suddenly becomes aware of his aging body and contemplates his future. This realization causes him to completely change his mind and decide to run for the professorship.

 

Fortunately for Kaji, this professor election appears to have zero opposition candidates. With only seven professors voting, securing a simple majority would guarantee him the professor’s chair. Kaji immediately receives generous financial backing from local business mogul Shimizu Gonzou and begins campaigning vigorously for votes. However, an unexpected crisis emerges right from the start. While three members of the Ito faction promise to vote for Kaji, three members of Vice Director Atami Masato’s faction declare their opposition!

 

Determined to win the professor election, Kaji sets out to secure the crucial “final vote” from someone who belongs to neither faction. Unfortunately for him, this deciding vote belongs to the youngest professor, Fujinomiya Sayuri, who is known as “Shizuoka’s Miss Clean” due to her impeccable integrity! Despite Kaji’s attempts to win her over, she remains completely unmoved by his efforts.

 

Just when things seem challenging enough, Kaji faces an even greater predicament. Atami suddenly announces his candidate to oppose Kaji. The newly selected rival professor candidate is surgeon Tsuruda Takumi, who arrives at the Shizuoka branch hospital with an impressive background. Making matters worse, Tsuruda declares war on Kaji, stating, “I’ll use any means necessary to become a professor!”
