Characters

Teru is a surgeon at Yasuda Memorial Hospital. When he was young, he was the only survivor who was saved in a plane crash but his father Mahigashi Kousuke, who was a famous surgeon called “GodHand”, died. He has handprint bruises on his chest from the chest massage that his father had performed on him right after the accident. Because he has an honest and earnest personality, he is loved by many people, regardless of whether they are hospital staff or patients. He is slow when it comes to love and flustered by those around him.

is a surgeon at Yasuda Memorial Hospital. She respects Kitami because of her skill that’s called “Kitami’s revival”. She thinks that :the only thing that doctors need is “technique” and only sees patients as “tools” to give full play to her skills but she matures into a true doctor through his contact with a patient in a situation similar to his own.

is the Head of Surgery at Yasuda Memorial Hospital. Single. His speciality is heart surgery. He was stunned when he saw Yasuda’s :surgery and he came to Yasuda Memorial Hospital.
