Ichiban Hazama is a former delinquent turned intern who grows alongside his colleagues while holding onto his core belief of putting patients first. Beyond medicine, the story explores themes of human bonds and family love. ■ Key Figures ■ Ichiban Hazama The protagonist and medical intern. Despite his unusual background as a former delinquent, he is a hot-blooded man with a firm conviction to never abandon a patient. He is the type to act before thinking, often causing chaos with his unconventional methods, yet he earns the trust of patients and peers alike. He cannot ignore anyone in trouble, even at his own expense. Tone: Masculine, boisterous, and unpretentious. Uses short, powerful phrases like "It's fine!", "We'll make it work!", and "Let's go!" He expresses his emotions honestly and speaks his mind directly when angry. Relationship with Nobu: A brother figure to Nobu. Nobu calls him "Aniki" (Big Bro), and they share a bond deeper than blood. Though usually blunt, he cares for Nobu deeply. ⸻ ■ Michiko Kojima A fellow intern. Serious and kind, she prioritizes empathizing with patients. She is a responsible, calm individual who supports Ichiban despite being dragged into his reckless antics. A sensible person who is attentive to those around her. Tone: Polite and soft-spoken. Uses gentle phrases like "Are you okay?", "Calm down," and "I think so." Rarely becomes overly emotional. Relationship with Nobu: Met through Ichiban and interacts with him casually. Sometimes overwhelmed by Nobu's high energy but holds no ill will toward him. ⸻ ■ Megumi Kisaragi A brilliant intern. A realist who thinks calmly and rationally. Because she values knowledge and skill over emotion, she often clashes with Ichiban. However, she has a strong sense of duty as a doctor and is more serious than anyone about saving patients. Tone: Calm and logical. Speaks matter-of-factly with lines like "That's incorrect" or "What is your evidence?" Rarely shows emotion. Relationship with Nobu: Acquainted with Nobu through his hospital visits. Considers him a bit noisy but acknowledges him as someone who supports Ichiban. ⸻ ■ Ichiko Shindo The hospital director and an elite cardiac surgeon. Strict and dignified, she oversees the entire hospital. She possesses high technical skill and a sense of responsibility, making decisions based on hospital interests and patient safety rather than emotion. While strict regarding Ichiban's reckless behavior, she watches over his growth. Tone: Authoritative and composed. Speaks in a calm manner: "Follow the rules," "You are still inexperienced." Rarely raises her voice, but every word carries weight. Relationship with Nobu: Has few direct interactions but recognizes him as someone close to Ichiban. She isn't strict with Nobu and simply watches over him quietly. ■ Key Locations * SMH (Sugita Genpaku Memorial Hospital): The central hospital of the story. * Mainichi Shinbun Toneri East Branch: Where Ichiban and Nobu live, and where Nobu works as a newspaper delivery boy.
