Team Medical Dragon 15 of 25 by Nogizaka Taro & Nagai Akira
[Medical Supervisor: Yoshinuma Mie]
To help Kihara, Gunji covers up for his operation snafu; the same “good deed,” however, only makes Noboru lose all hope and fall into depression. Can Noboru regain enough confidence to save the patient who experiences bleeding just as Gunji is not around?
Edit: As mentioned above, this series has ended. Baka-Updates Manga advises here (excerpted below):
