kousaka shin is absent-minded, has low-grades, is overly cheerful, and looks like an elementary student… not really qualities you would expect from a medical student… but that’s exactly what she is, having decided as a child that she wanted to become a kind and trustworthy doctor like her father. unfortunately, abe-sensei, english medicine professor and next-door neighbor, doesn’t think she can make it and tells her so… but shin isn’t going to give up just because he said that!

very cute and very adorable! this is one of those feel good titles… you can see how she perseveres with her career choice, the warm family that she has, the supportive friends who surround her. abe-sensei is extremely strict and seems to be quite scary, but he’s very capable… somebody one can look up to, and somebody who can weed you out of the program. through the story, we mostly see the things that touch on their career motivations. the story has that “simple” feel, but it really leaves you happy after reading it.
