Medical manga is a pretty niche genre, and many of the ones out there aren't even that good, so I thought it would be a good idea to do I list recommendations for the ones that in my opinion are the best out there.
Medical Return
Manhwa, ? vol, 2019 Me:- Author:-
medical return (definitely the best medical manhwa out there, this is from the same as Dr Elise, surprisingly the series goes way more in-depth about its medical aspects, maybe because it was a later story by the author so he had developed and also implemented more medicine in the plot since it was a common complaint in her first story, well even if it's better it still has it's a fair share of problems, a lot of the drama feels fake and some characters are one note, so it's definitely not perfect, but it's still a great read even with its flaws) 8/10
Dr. Frost
Manhwa, ? vol, 2011 Me:- Author:-
Dr. Frost (a story about a psychologist that starts off cold and doing a lot of privacy breaches but turns into a better and more emotional person as he develops and goes about solving a lot of psychological problems in relatively episodic arcs about different psychological cases, but that at the off each season end up giving the characters a lot of development) 9/10
The Legendary Beasts Animal Hospital
Manhwa, ? vol, 2020 Me:- Author:-
The Legendary Beasts Animal Hospital (not everybody likes it, and it also has its problems, but I have a soft spot for veterinarian manhwas since they are even rarer) 7/10
Black Jack
Manga, 25 vol, 1973 Me:- Author:-
Black Jack (Tezuka was also a doctor, so the fact his medical manga is good isn't a surprise, and even if you are not into old manga there are some great recent spin-offs like young black jack) 8/10
Black Jack ni Yoroshiku
Manga, 13 vol, 2002 Me:- Author:-
Give My Regards to Black Jack (a serious and deep medical manga) 9/10
Shrink: Seishinkai Yowai
Manga, ? vol, 2019 Me:- Author:10
Shrink: Dr. Yowai, a Psychiatrist (the research in this is top-notch and the stories are really emotional, I love how it does a great job of teaching people about mental health while also being an engaging story) 10/10
Kounodori
Manga, 32 vol, 2012 Me:- Author:-
Kounodori: Dr. Stork (a good manga about a specific specialty, I don't think there is another manga about OBG/YN's out there, so this is good AND super unique) 8/10
Radiation House
Manga, ? vol, 2015 Me:- Author:-
Radiation House ( it has some cringy tropes, but overall it's a good and interesting manga about radiology) 7/10
Iryuu: Team Medical Dragon
Manga, 25 vol, 2002 Me:- Author:-
Iryuu: Team Medical Dragon (a good manga about surgery) 7/10
Dr. Kotou Shinryoujo
Manga, 25 vol, 2000 Me:- Author:-
Dr. Koto Shinryoujo (a chill manga about rural medicine, where After making a mistake in his work in Tokyo, a talented surgeon Goto Kensuke is invited to take charge of the only clinic on the small island of Yonaguni, ) 8/10
Saigo no Isha wa Sakura wo Miagete Kimi wo Omou
Manga, 3 vol, 2018 Me:- Author:8
"The Last Doctors Think of You Whenever They Look up to Cherry Blossoms" is also really good, it deals with deep topics like palliative care, and if euthanasia is ethically permissible, in an impartial and intelligent way, so far only 1 volume out of 3 has been translated, but it's still worth a read 9/10
Isekai Yakkyoku
Manga, ? vol, 2016 Me:- Author:-
Parallel World Pharmacy (an isekai medical manga that is actually pretty accurate and with aN ethical MC, which is not a given in this genre, if the MC even asks their patients for consent for half of their procedures then you are in luck) 7/10
Koudo ni Hattatsu shita Igaku wa Mahou to Kubetsu ga Tsukanai
Manga, ? vol, 2021 Me:- Author:-
Koudo ni Hattatsu shita Igaku wa Mahou to Kubetsu ga Tsukanai (a more "realistic" medical isekai, he has to use realistic procedures and the few medical tools he has with him to help people in a Medival isekai world ) 8/1
Juui-san no Oshigoto in Isekai
Manga, ? vol, 2016 Me:- Author:-
A Veterinarian in Another World ( a pretty average chill isekai medical manga, but it's about a veterinarian, and since that niche is even smaller it deserves mention for being a bit more different) 6/10
Kusuriya no Hitorigoto
Manga, ? vol, 2017 Me:- Author:-
The Apothecary Diaries is probably the only apothecary manga I have seen that focuses on the medical aspects of the synopsis, not only that but it also has great worldbuilding with interesting political situations from a unique Chinese palace setting, if you liked book worm you will probably dig this too :) 7/10
Hataraku Saibou
Manga, 6 vol, 2015 Me:- Author:8
it's cells at work, you know it, and if you don't, go read it/ watch it, it's great
Hataraku Saibou Black
Manga, 8 vol, 2018 Me:- Author:7
it's cells at work (but serious), you know it, and if you don't, go read it/ watch it, it's great
Perfect Surgeon
Manhwa, ? vol, 2022 Me:- Author:-
it has an AI, but the doctor is still good, and the AI character is basically used more for exposition and explaining the medicine behide the story in a natural way to the audience more than anything, also, I really like how the MC is ethical, he won't break patient confidentiality, or date a patient even if they are attractive, since it would be unethical (trust me, you don't see that kind of attention to medical ethics very often in this niche genre)
Wild Life
Manga, 27 vol, 2003 Me:- Author:-
Wild life. A manga about a veterinarian who handles wild and big animals mostly
Doubutsu no Oishasan
Manga, 12 vol, 1987 Me:- Author:-
Doubutsu no oishasan. A manga about young students in a veterinarian University following his story in university.
Jin
Manga, 20 vol, 2000 Me:- Author:-
a doctor gets thrown in the past and uses his medical knowledge to help people in the past, and it's great, Jin is a great title. I love the way that medical procedures that are commonplace nowadays are changing the world around the mc.
Monster
Manga, 18 vol, 1994 Me:- Author:-
Monster a classic anime, I am a med student and trust me when I say all the medical information on this is spot own (which isn't something I can say for most medical stories lol, not the mention it's a fantastic story in most aspect, the only problem about it is that it's a thriller and only focus on medicine in selective parts of the story (it's still a great story though) 9/10
