Godhand Teru (Manga)

This is the first review for this series?! It can't be :(. It's so good!!!

I think everyone would enjoy this manga, but especially if you're in a medical profession. I'm a EM resident right now and there are so many things that I think "oh man, that's so true..." --- like being harrassed by attendings and not wanting to screw up. I just wish I had Teru's smarts and confidence!

He's a surgeon just out of med school. He's clumsy and people wonder why he's a doctor (and his attendings give him a hard time)... but his father was a genius surgeon (called a godhand because of his skills) whose last deed was to save his son's life. Also a bit shounen-y, but very enjoyable because Teru is SUCH a likable character... like Mikoto from "Saijou no Meii". There are great (and well researched) medical cases too. And the story can get thrilling. Even beyond all the medicine stuff, just seeing someone as likable as Teru struggle to do his best and overcome the scrutiny... that makes for a great story. We can all relate to that!

I wish someone could continue scanlating this one. It's a really good series. read more
