Dear God,

I make this prayer in secret.

My mother told me,

"When you go to Tokyo,"

go pray to a famous god of matchmaking.

It seems like my family has had no luck with men for generations.

Sakurajima!

[Sakurajima is a volcano in Kagoshima, where they're from.]

My grandfather was a skilled umbrella craftsman,

but he was a heavy drinker.

School Trip

My father is a diligent civil servant, but he's very timid.

He once agreed to look after a koi fish from a friend.

We live in an apartment so of course there's no pond.

I digress!

In any case, please... please, someday...

may I have a good match!

This one please!

Excuse me, you dropped this!

Are you alright?

Somebody!

An ambulance...

What do I do...? How do you do this?

I don't know!

Help!

Someone help!

Please help!

Help! Somebody!

Help!

What happened?

What's her name?

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

- Her name is Watanabe. - Watanabe-san?

Watanabe-san, do you hear me?

If you can, please respond.

The ambulance?

Call one right away. The address is on that telephone pole.

Okay.

Excuse me, please send an ambulance.

A woman is on the road...

The address is Taito-ku, Imado 5-chome 1.

Thank you.

This was on the ground.

Watanabe-san, are you alright?

I'll administer some nitroglycerin​. Please open your mouth.

It's done. You're all right.

The ambulance will come soon. Please hold on.

- Vasospasm? - Yes.

From anaphylactic shock​.

I've heard it's a rare occurrence.

Please take her somewhere with a CCU that will do cardiac catheterisation.

I'll come along just to be safe.

Excuse me but who are you?

A doctor at Hiura General Hospital, Tendo.

Please come along.

Wait...

Thank you very much.

It's alright now.

Thanks to you.

Thank you for calling for help in a loud voice.

Thank you, God.

He must be my...

Kagoshima

[Nursing School Entrance Exam Guide]

[Report from the trip: I found my future career! Hiura General Hospital]

Alright!

So that one day...

I can meet him again...

It's alright now.

Thanks to you.

No, I have to focus!

Body temperature can refer to the internal temperature,

[West Kagoshima Nursing School]

or the skin temperature of the surface of the body.

Skin temperature of the hands and feet...

Next is Sakura-san, please.

Right.

I'll sterilise you first.

Thank you for calling for help in a loud voice.

Sakura-san!

I can see him soon!

Sakura-san!

I'm sorry!

And...

At last, that time has come!

I'm closing it. Vicryl.

Here.

Alright!

Tendo-sensei.

It's been a while!

I...

I became a nurse because I wanted to meet you.

These past 5 years...

I've always... always...

I've always liked you, sensei!

Who are you?

Huh?

Like I said... Who?

Ah... Well...

I was saying, 5 years ago...

November 23rd 2015, around 4 in the evening...

Near the shrine, with Watanabe-san...

Huh?

You don't... remember?

What? What's going on?

Sakura-san?

Oh... You're a rookie.

So you're just a rock, always stopping the flow.

Why are you confessing to me?

Are you sane?

Are your brain waves normal?

Learn your place, rock.

A confession, huh?

Nice work from the first day.

A confession? From a rookie who just joined?

And of all people, to the Devil?

The Devil?

Why is he the Devil?

That man...

Is he really...

Tendo-sensei?!

the Hero

the Devil

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Welcome to Hiura General Hospital.

To start off, please look at this graph.

[Estimated Population by Age]

As you're all aware,

it's the 2025 problem.

What is it?

Do you all actually know?

She's gone...

- Do you know? - Huh?

Do you know this?

Um... What was it again?

2025 is the year babyboomers will pass 75 years of age

and the number of elderly will peak.

Yes, that's exactly it.

As expected of a university graduate.

Now that we are facing a super aging population,

and there are worries about a lack of nurses...

Sorry, head nurse!

I had another meeting today.

Has it started already?

It has started, I can see.

Yes. This is the assistant director of our hospital,

and head of the cardiology​ ward, Koishikawa-sensei.

I'm Koishikawa. Good morning.

Good morning.

In a hospital,

there are many sick people.

And...

I'm sorry. I thought of something touching to say yesterday, but...

Uh...

Oh... I've forgotten it.

That's enough.

Well...

The bakery in the lobby. It's delicious and freshly baked.

I especially recommend the cream bun.

- Sensei... - Oh, sorry.

Are you leaving already?

Yes, sorry. Take care of it for me.

Continuing on.

Starting today, you will rotate around the departments for 3 days each.

Later, we will have you notify us of which department you wish to join,

so we ask for your cooperation.

Please look after us.

We need newcomers, no matter what.

I'm sure it's hard to secure staff every year,

but this counts on the chief's skill.

I need your help.

I understand.

This is no time to be picky.

Even if they're useless at first, just look at the long term and find someone who will stick.

Ah!

Oh, they're here.

Cardiology...

Please do your best.

Yes, sir!

Why are you confessing to me?

Are you sane?

Learn your place, rock.

Looks like we've secured one for now...

Hopefully.

But she's acting a bit... shifty.

Ah... Excuse me...

I think this was where Tendo-sensei...

"The cold winter came from the north"

"to the forest where the fox family lived."

"One morning, the baby fox tried to leave the den."

"But it shouted and covered its eyes,"

"and rolled back to the mummy fox."

- Shirahama Anri-chan? - Yes.

I think she can do the stress test soon.

In preparation for discharge.

Her BNP levels are getting better too. I think she can do it.

I'm the chief, Negishi.

This is Numazu and Ishihara.

- Hello! - Hello~

I'm Sakura.

My name is Sakai. Please give me your guidance.

Oh, are these the rookies?

You must be the Hero.

Yeah. That's the nickname I made up.

I heard that as soon as you came, you suddenly confessed to the Devil Tendo-sensei

and got rejected, so of course...

Huh?

I heard you innocently expressed your love,

and I thought that was amazing.

I gave you the nickname in honour of your courage, respectfully.

That's why she's the "hero"?

I'm sorry for causing trouble!

I ended up getting too excited on my own,

and made sensei and everyone else uncomfortable.

Oh no, it was funny!

Huh?

I mean we were all saying, Hero-chan has such good taste!

Well of course, Tendo-sensei is the ace of this ward.

It's only natural you would fall for a guy like him.

Right?

But I'm sure you were just calling him "the devil"...

The devil... ishly handsome prince?

Just now, he had finished an operation and was a little tired. Right?

Yes, yes.

Usually he's super gentle and gets surrounded by dogs and cats all woofing and meowing...

He's such a kind doctor!

- Is that true? - Of course!

Anri-chan, as the doctor has already mentioned,

we're going to have you take a cardiopulmonary stress test.

A cardiopulmonary stress test is when...

We check your stamina and the condition of your heart while exercising...

I know. Show me.

Ah...

Huh?

Ah. Ah! Ahh!

I failed straight away.

Don't worry about it Nishi-kun.

I'm fine with drawing blood and stuff,

but when it comes suddenly I get so surprised...

We've only just started. Let's both get fired up. Alright?

What,

you're feeling better?

Tendo-sensei is still a very kind, prince-like doctor!

What? Really?

Miss Hero. Miss Hero!

Ah!

Perfect timing. Come over here.

- Over here! - Okay!

Look at that.

Sensei.

I heard I can leave hospital soon.

Yes.

We'll do a lot of tests, and if there's no problem you can leave.

When I get out, I'll have to go back to choir!

The competition is on soon!

That's amazing.

On the other hand...

I'm really badly tone deaf.

Really?

- I want to hear you sing. - No way.

That smile...

It's really... the same as back then.

See, I told you!

And his smiling face is so handsome...

Oh, do you have a moment sensei?

Just a little introduction. Excuse us.

Anri-chan. Shall we go back?

Okay.

Sorry.

Once again, she'll be training here starting today. Miss Hero...

Sakura-san.

I'm so sorry for suddenly doing that this morning!

Please forgive me.

Why are you grinning?

Huh?

It's gross.

He's impossible...

Why does he say things like that?

Come on...

What does he mean "gross"?

He is the devil, isn't he?

Oh, you found out already?

When I asked for more detail,

He's stoic and strict,

if you mess up you get the cut,

and nurses are always asking to switch wards, or something.

Miss Hero, if you look like that, the patients will get scared.

I guess that means I didn't have a good eye.

So why did I become a nurse?

No. Let's not think about that.

Excuse me...

Are you feeling sick?

Oh no! I'm sorry for making you worry.

But despite how he looks, he's kind to the patients, you know?

He gives concise instructions and has good judgement.

Personally I find him easy to work with.

With Tendo-sensei?!

Sugamo-san.

Any pressure in your chest?

Oh, sensei.

I've been having this heavy feeling here since this morning.

It's okay, lie down.

- Let me listen to your heartbeat. - Okay.

Kanda-san, can you show me where you got hurt?

- Oh, this? - Yes.

Please disinfect it.

Okay.

You hurt yourself on the stairs when you fainted from arrhythmia, right?

You know?

I did my homework.

Excuse me.

Kanda Mitsuki-san, 24.

Admitted 2 days ago with arrhythmia.

Last night you secretly listened to music in the middle of the night and were scolded.

I'll be careful from now on.

- I'll disinfect it. - Okay.

Miss Hero, that's unsanitary.

Ah!

Now they're all dirty!

Keeping clean and dirty things separate is basic for a nurse!

I'm so sorry! I'll be careful from now on.

I don't think there's a problem but let's do a scan anyway.

- Do an ECG for Sugamo-san. - Sakura-san will help.

Quickly go!

You need to get him to approve of you as a nurse.

"The Devil" is just a mask.

A mask?

Yes! Behind that stoic and strict battle mode,

is Tendo-sensei's true form.

His... true form?

Yes.

Whether you see that or not is up to the hero.

Win his trust.

Sensei's... true form.

You're right.

I've had a crush for 5 whole years.

I'll persist!

Sugamo-san, we will now start the ECG scan.

- Please. - Okay.

Excuse me.

I'll start it.

Huh?

This is...

W-What is it, sensei?

Is the rhythm abnormal?

[Left hand]

They're on backwards.

- Huh? - Huh?

Oh, you're right! I'm so sorry!

Sorry.

Excuse us for a second.

Excuse us.

Idiot!

I'm so sorry!

A crush of 5 years.

Mistakes.

Still only 3.

I can keep trying!

Tendo-sensei.

The usual, right?

Oh, but aren't you early today?

Yes.

Here you go. I'll take the money from here, okay?

Tendo-sensei's cream bun savings.

Thank you.

Oh, hello!

How are you feeling?

Oh, that's good!

It's okay, Akai-san.

- You'll feel a little sting. - Okay.

I'll take out the needle. Please press down on it.

- Eh? - It's done.

Everyone has such a hard time finding my veins!

Hey hey, that girl's a genius!

- Sakai-san! - Yes?

Won't you join pediatrics?

- No no no, come to plastic surgery. - Stop that!

- She's in cardiology now. - Why?!

The surgical and emergency departments said they would scout her too.

- What? - Really?

Sakai-san is amazing.

I'm more interested in Sakura-chan, though.

Sorry?

I get it, okay?

What do you get?

Huh? Operations early in the morning,

40 outpatients a day,

scans, ward rounds, conferences.

True, we are working you hard.

You've gone past black, it's completely dark.

[A black company refers to an exploitative company]

That doesn't mean it's okay to conserve energy when communiating with colleagues.

Be kind to the newcomers too.

My kindness has a set capacity.

It's used on the patients.

You're not using data, alright?

Learn from Kisugi-kun.

I'll help.

Oh, thank you.

Then, regarding the left ventriculography...

Not that.

Tendo.

Why don't you win him over?

Win him over?

It's impossible for you to suddenly mature as a nurse,

but if it's as a woman...

You might be able to win Tendo over.

If I help.

Oh! No no, that's too much...

I couldn't...

Really? Okay.

Wait a minute, sensei!

Could I just hear what your idea is?

Over here.

Did you know?

Tendo has a huge sweet tooth.

By the way, I don't really like sweet things.

He has a huge sweet tooth?

On my way here this morning,

they said "just one box left of these very popular cream puffs!"

- Just one left. - Oh, good. They still have some.

Someone nearby looked like they wanted it, so I found myself buying it first.

Someone like me, who doesn't like sweet things.

It was like a bit of a rivalry, or a fighting instinct.

Don't you think this principle would work?

How so?

So I'll deliberately act like I like you,

and provoke Tendo's fighting instinct.

I call it "The Cream Puff Strategy".

I see!

I get it~!

Well that sounds a-okay! You're a godsend!

You're surprisingly old-fashioned.

Oh, it's because I lived with my grandparents.

I thank you for your kindness, Kisugi-sensei!

Huh? Doctor Kisugi?

Sensei, did Sakura-san make some kind of mistake?

Oh no. Actually I want to cheer her on now.

Huh?

Oh, right.

I bought these cream puffs this morning.

Oh, I've heard of those! They just got a branch in Japan!

You can all eat them.

Thanks!

Thank you!

- This is the best! I wanted something sweet! - That's our Kisugi-sensei.

That guy's always been crafty.

Crafty or ditzy or gloomy, whatever.

It'd be funny if he was gloomy, though.

Well anyway,

Kisugi-kun is popular, you know.

I know I'm not popular.

Cardiology already has a lot of emergencies.

With reading ECGs and all, there are a lot of scans, so it's highly specialised too.

People keep their distance because it's hard.

And all the young kids quit right away these days.

The goal for this year is...

- Don't let anyone quit. - Don't let anyone quit.

That's it. Be nice, okay?

Got it?

In 10 seconds, we'll go up one more level.

Kanda-san Illness: Arrhythmia Injured arm while fainting Listened to music last night and got in trouble Seemed like a nice person!!

Kanda-san, what's wrong?

Suddenly... my breathing...

I'll go there right away!

Please come, sensei!

Why is the complete rookie the only one here?

I know I'm a complete rookie,

but I did pass the national exam,

and I have a name, "Sakura"!

Then come along, complete rookie.

- Kanda-san, the doctor is here! - Kanda-san, are you okay?

Excuse me.

Are you okay?

- Find the vein. - Okay!

- Excuse me. - Excuse me.

- Ah, sorry! - Give him oxygen first.

Right!

Kanda-san, you'll feel better soon.

Please wait a moment.

Okay, let me just...

Sorry...

- Connect it. - Yes.

Hurry up.

Yes.

That's enough. Move!

I'm sorry!

Excuse me.

Please close your hand gently.

I'm so sorry.

I'm really sorry.

It's my fault for leaving her on her own.

No, it was my lack of skill.

- I got flustered... - Just quit.

You're not cut out for it.

- I'm sorry. I will... - You came to this hospital following me.

- I want to be like you and... - I don't care!

Look after and save people's lives.

I don't care about anything else.

The patient comes first here.

Leave before you do real harm.

Go assist with bathing, and do the rounds too.

- Right. - Right.

- Let's go, Sakai-san. - Okay.

The 4th time...

What's the 4th time?

Anri-chan... right?

Yeah.

My name is Sakura. I'm doing training in the cardiology ward at the moment.

- But I keep making mistakes... - Shh!

Come here.

This is my secret hideout.

Apparently the newcomers often cry here.

It looks like you're the first one this year.

Here.

Thank you.

Wait! I need a bit more.

Ah...

A cat...

This one please!

It's alright now.

Thanks to you.

I finally became a nurse...

And I'm this hopeless at it.

We all grow as we cry.

Hang in there, Sakura-san.

You're so dependable, Anri-chan.

I'm the leader of the choir club, after all. I'm also the secretary of the student council.

There's so much to do once I get discharged!

That's right, you're getting discharged?

Congratulations.

If anything happens you can talk to me any time.

This time, I'll pull myself together so I can listen to your worries.

Oh, right.

You'll come to do training in pedriatrics too, right?

I'll introduce you to everyone.

Huh?

Kengo is like my little brother.

He has cardiomyopathy​ like me but his is hypertrophic.

My sister always helps me with my studies.

There's the feminine Asuka and Mirei, who just joined.

- And the slightly shy Kanta. - Wah!

That's amazing, Anri-chan.

You're like the masterof pediatrics.

I finished it.

Really? That was so fast!

Otsukaresama desu.

Anri-chan brought you here, huh.

Yes.

She first came here when she was 6.

She keeps going in and out of hospital.

This time especially, we haven't quite been able to get the heart failure under control.

It's been a long-term stay of 3 months.

Thanks to you, she's able to leave hospital.

Leaving hospital!

Oh? Why is Sakura here?

Sayoko-sensei!

Yes?

I think Nishi-kun is suited for pediatrics.

Oh really? Does he pass?

He's bad with sudden blood so he's a bit unreliable, though.

Anri-chan, you didn't have to say that part.

All you can do is get more experience. Focus, rookie.

- Right. - Right.

Wow, you got full marks!

Look, isn't it amazing?

I hope they all get better...

- It's right. - To do that...

We have to grow more.

Alright...

It's okay... It's no big deal.

I'm sorry...

The blood was so real.

Sorry. That's not what I was trying to do.

Hey...

It was this.

Oh...

I was the one who threw it everywhere during the movie.

I'm bad with blood suddenly bursting out.

Even though I work in a hospital.

A hospital?

Yes... I'm a nurse, technically.

So I'm not a creep at all.

I'm sorry for startling you.

Here.

Eh?

Do your best at work.

Otsukare, Sakura-san.

Hey, wanna come?

I thought I was working hard in my own way these last 5 years.

But in front of the patients I can't move at all.

I wonder why.

Reading the textbook and actually doing it is completely different, right?

When we're done with the training, we put in our preferences, right?

Will you go to cardiology?

I don't know...

I don't think I mind as long as I can keep up there.

As long as I can make a steady living my whole life.

I was sickly as a child and was often in hospital.

The nurse from back then was really brilliant. I looked up to her.

Like Sakai-san.

Everyone was praising Sakai-san, saying that she would be an immediate asset.

I'm jealous...

I envy you, Sakura-san.

What?

My mother was a nurse, but not anymore.

She was sued for a medical error​.

A medical error​?

She must have been disappointed.

That's why I want to be a great nurse and make her feel better.

So I can't just quit that easily.

Having love at first sight as a motive.

I envy that simpleness.

- Can I have some hot pot too? - Sure.

What do you want in it?

Fried tofu, salmon and...

I'm home...

[My Prince]

The patient comes first here.

Leave before you do real harm.

I can't stay like this...

They found the cause?

Yes, Tendo did.

Kanda-san's condition suddenly changed today.

Apparently it's cardiac amyloidosis.

How did he know?

The echocardiogram showed swelling, so he ordered a heart muscle biopsy.

Something I'd never think of.

I do think he is very clever,

and skilled too.

But he sure changed...

He used to... smile more.

I think it's amazing he even recovered.

I do want to support him... In my own way.

Yeah... Thanks for this.

This is from the pediatric ward.

Excuse me.

What is it, complete rookie?

Today's the last day of my training.

Tomorrow I'm going to the pediatric ward.

Now I can finally sleep at night.

I'm grateful for your guidance.

Thank you very much.

I'll take my leave now.

[Cardiopulmonary Stress Test (CPX) Report]

Hello.

Oh, here comes Miss Hero!

Let's work hard together.

I'll turn over a new leaf and do my best!

Okay!

Oh, sorry...

How was Anri-chan?

There's a striking decline in her maximum oxygen intake.

Since it's come to this... It's time to think about it.

A heart transplant, you mean?

Yes...

I'll call her parents right away and explain it to them.

Yeah.

Did Sayoko-sensei tell you?

Yeah. I can't leave anymore.

It's your precious heart.

Let's heal it carefully and properly.

Yeah. Don't worry about me.

You guys should be more happy! I can help you study more.

Right?

Thank you.

This is new.

Ooh, it looks fun!

Let's read it together. Come on.

Found it!

You did, wow!

It's boring if Anri-chan doesn't read it to us.

See? If I leave hospital, no one will be here to read it for you, right?

Yeah.

So next...

Mice. It says there are 2 mice.

It sure is a relief about Anri-chan.

I'm sure it will be a tough situation needing a heart transplant,

but she's being optimistic about it.

Yes.

Show me when you've written the nurse's record.

Okay.

Ahh, there are no more towels!

Sorry Hero. Can you go refill?

Sure.

Found them.

It looks like you're the first one this year.

Here.

If I leave hospital, no one will be here to read it for you, right?

I was right...

She's actually...

What's wrong?

Nanase-chan, what's wrong?

Nothing. It's fine. Sorry!

- So? - She wasn't in the bathroom.

Or the kitchenette.

I've contacted security and asked other wards for help.

I'll look around again too!

Anri-chan...

Shirahama-san?

Shirahama Anri-san?

Shirahama-san?

Anri-chan?

Anri-chan!

Anri-chan?!

Let's go back, Anri-chan.

Stay away!

Go back!

I'm only ever causing trouble for people.

I can't leave hospital. I can't go to school.

It costs money too.

It's my fault...

It's not your fault, Anri-chan!

You haven't done anything wrong, so please don't think that way!

I'm sorry, Anri-chan.

Even when you helped me...

I didn't notice how you really felt...

I'm sorry.

Tell me anything.

I'll listen!

So...

Let's go back together.

Anri-chan?!

She's going to fall...

- She's going to fall! - B... Blankets!

- Let's bring as many as we can. - Oh no.

- What do we do... This is bad! - Nishi-kun. Calm down. Come on!

You can't move!

Sakura-san!

I'm scared!

It's okay...

I'll never let go!

Sakura-san... I'm scared!

Help...

Someone! Please help us!

Somebody!

Sensei!

Hang in there just a bit longer.

We're pulling her up.

Ready, go.

Hang in there.

One more time.

Ready, go!

Yes!

Anri-chan!

I'm so glad you're safe!

I'm sorry...

You're alright now.

Take it slow. Okay, let's sit down.

Thank you...

- Okay... - Slowly, okay?

Let's go somewhere warm.

- It's okay now. - You're okay.

I thought there was no hope.

I'm so glad you came, sensei.

Thank you.

If I...

had to say just one good thing about you...

It's that you take action right away.

You did the same that day, too.

In the evening, 5 years ago.

Near the shrine,

there was a girl shouting in an awfully loud voice.

Help!

Someone, help her!

Help! Somebody!

She was saved but you looked so worried...

And just kept looking in our direction.

You haven't changed at all since then.

That day...

I saw it... My path.

I have nothing...

What will I do when I graduate?

I wasn't thinking of anything,

but I found my path.

The path I go down with sensei.

I want to help somebody.

That...

is my dream now.

I will...

continue running down this path.

To wherever it leads!

Hey.

You're making a crazy face.

Eh?

You're free to say what you want,

but for now you're a complete rookie that only gets in the way like a rock.

- I know! I'm going to... - Listen, Sakura!

Just because you noticed a change in one patient, don't think...

Sakura...

Sensei, you just...

You called me Sakura!

You actually remember everything, don't you sensei?

Ow.

Toilet paper?

Yes.

She thought "Someone's been crying here."

"Maybe it's Anri-chan."

So Miss Hero went to check the bed.

- Sakura did? - Yes.

She did well to notice that...

It's a very important thing, to notice those small things.

Ah!

I just remembered what I was going to say at the orientation.

What is it?

In a hospital...

There are many... sick people...

Doctors look after the "sick" part.

Nurses look at the "people".

It's not just curing an illness...

They help them live.

That's the kind of place this is.

Why did I forget?

What a shame...

It's pretty touching!

You did well, Sakura-chan.

Kisugi-sensei! Otsukaresama desu.

I take it we're carrying out the Cream Puff Strategy?

Thank you!

But... Why do you want to help me like this?

I want to see the hero take down the devil.

Thus, I grant you a sword.

O wise one!

A lot happened today. You must be tired.

Yes... But I can still keep going!

Hm?

- Don't work too hard. - I know.

Otsukaresama desu.

Tendo-sensei!

I'm going to request to be placed in the cardiology ward.

Oh, even though you weren't helpful at all?

I might have some hidden potential...

I have the right to choose too.

Also, when I finished training there,

all my senpai said "come here", "you have to come here", "we're waiting for you"!

They were being polite.

And besides...

Putting aside your true personality,

I think as a doctor... I like you, so...

Putting aside my true personality?

That's not for you to say!

Anyway, I hope you can retrain me!

If someone useless joins, the work only increases.

Then please make me useful.

Why do I have to take such a punishment?

Or so you say. But actually,

you want a super rookie who can take action, like me, to join.

Isn't that what you think?

I'll book a scan for your brain waves tomorrow.

Do you want to see the brain waves of the super rookie?

Listen.

If you get in my way in the slightest, I'll drive you out in seconds.

But actually...

How long are you going to follow me?

Huh? You too. Why are you here, sensei?

What? This is my place.

Huh?!

This... is my place.

Oh yeah, they did say someone moved in next door.

Welcome home Kairi!

You took so long...

Oh? The neighbour?

Do you know her?

Unfortunately.

Okay, good night!

Dear God...

What does this mean?
