Bandage of Hope

■ Synopsis ■ You’re a nursing student who’s been given the opportunity to train at one of the city’s most prestigious hospitals—Greenfield Medical Center. It’s a chance to prove yourself, but the partner assigned to you turns out to be Kanade, your long-time academic rival. Under the guidance of experienced doctors and nurses—especially the highly capable Dr. Izumi—you begin working toward your goal of securing a position at the hospital after graduation. What seemed like a straightforward path quickly becomes more demanding. Countless lives rest in your hands, and even the smallest mistake can lead to serious consequences. Then, patients begin to pass away under unexplained circumstances. Faced with a situation no one can ignore, you find yourself drawn into something far more complex than you expected. ■ Characters ■ Kanade — The Warm and Devoted Nurse Kanade is a bright and kind-hearted young woman who genuinely aspires to become a nurse. Her academic performance and clinical skills are outstanding, though she struggles to assert herself with more difficult patients. As your opposite, the two of you naturally balance each other out. Her constant warmth and dedication stand out—but it leaves you wondering what drives her to keep pushing herself so hard. Izumi — The Composed and Pragmatic Doctor Though only a few years ahead of you, Izumi is already a respected and accomplished physician at Greenfield Medical Center. Her efficient, no-nonsense approach to medicine is something you admire and aim to emulate. At the same time, it becomes clear that she tends to keep others at a distance, choosing to shoulder everything on her own. That determination, while admirable, sometimes comes at a personal cost.
