This might just be the best medical manga out there. It is rare to see such a huge cast of amazing characters. And they're not amazing because I like all of them. They're amazing because they're so human. No one here is perfect. A lot of the characters were major dipshits at first, but you learn what made them that way and what they're actually thinking. And they grow as the story progresses.

Only reason I stopped reading this 7 years ago was that the scanlations were too slow
The criticisms of Japanese Hospital Medicine are the usually the most interesting parts. It's just...fucked up at times.
The medical detail is another highlight, the mangaka knows when to listen to his consultants. It's kinda different, starting reading this when I was around 11 years old and now re-reading when I'm 20 and have some actual medical knowledge. Still, just reading the notes back then almost never left me too confused as to what's going on. The mangaka explained things well in those marginal notes and text boxes/narration.
The election is adding another almost equally intriguing part to he mangaka, though it's not as medically focused (a bit more on relating it back to the Japanese Medical system would be better)
Reading this renews my interest in medicine.

The plot is addictive. I rather liked how the human aspects of being a doctor is shown here. It's full of goody stuff that seinen should have: the pain, the aspirations, struggle against the system, drama, love, jealousy, human weaknesses, etc.
I thought the character development is kinda slow... But it's there, alright. Just takes some times.
Each character has their moment of fame: their past actions and motivations, why they are the way they are now. It's real cool. Asada's character however remained mostly a mystery.
The only thing I have a problem with is the art... It really scares me sometimes. It's rather rough looking and sometimes monstrous. I don't like looking at it, but well... Once in a while, when the content is good, I'd endure it.

It was a good enough manga to force me to read 13 volumes in Chinese. I like the two main character's personalities. (I'm always a stickler for geniuses who go about their own way, following their ideals, breaking through conventional barriers, etc.)
Now for the parts I didn't like, note spoilers:

The ending was too open ended. It finished with a bomb striking the tent that Asada was working in. Asada lies on the ground... Did he die? What about the lingering relationship between him and Sato?

Almost none of the characters in this manga is given background, we have no idea what motivates them, why they do what they do. Asada he's a gold hearted genius who can and will do anything to save someone even if he might die because of it. I might find it easier to believe if only we were provided some backstory on Asada but I'm well on vol.22 and the only thing I know of him is he used to work at North Japan U and some NGO mission in a (presumably) third world country. Every single case is just an opportunity for the mangaka to show off what an awesome surgeon Asada is. And other characters are just there to play second fiddle to Asada and let him do whatever he wants. And the most annoying thing is, whatever it is he does is always right. The only character that holds her stance is Kato and I would have thrown this long time ago if it weren't for her.
Even the one background given is hard to believe:
Considering the promising start this manga has turned out to be a big disappointment.

Gunji realized that he doesn't hate Asada, actually the reason he's been doing all those things he did is to be noticed by Asada (the fujoshi in me saw it as yaoi-ish)
and it came out of nowhere.Considering the promising start this manga has turned out to be a big disappointment.

Not too bad

This series isn't too bad. It's the epitome of a medical drama. Medicine, ethics, politics, money, the system, it's all mixed in there with some unique and sometimes unpredictable personalities.
The different personalities of all the doctors is what makes this interesting to me. You have Asada, the genius doctor, will remind you a lot of House: arrogant, self-assured, nasty, brilliant. He and the nurse, Miki, are the only ones who don't go through ethical crises on a regular basis. It's actually refreshing because half the main cast is extremely angsty to the point of being annoying.
Don't put too much stock into the medical accuracy. Certainly a lot of the details and explanations are correct, but the batista procedure has been discredited for some time. It works here because you have a genius doctor who rarely fails (in fact, he hasn't yet) and some interesting technobabble which justifies the use of the procedure.

Don't judge this by the first (couple of) chapter(s). I'm reading both saijou no meii and this. TMD gives a more realistic and gritty approach to the japanese medical system than the other and explores the politics that drive the system. I can only hope that this continues as it has for the past 60 chapters and does not become another disappointment...

I was in love with this manga when I First read it last year, and I thought i would never be able to get back into this awesome manga, because i waited for the new chapter.
But when I read the new chapter today, i was hooked back onto it again ;; n ;; <3~
Team Medical Dragon is my favourite manga, and I don't really think anything can beat it

I would never expect in a million years that some medical manga I took only because it's a seinen will blow my mind away so much.
It's just perfect. It's beautifully drawn, dark, serious and convincing at the same time. Main guy never cease to amaze, yet things he's doing are plausible, nothing from the over-the-top superman crap that is a sad standard in mangas.
One of the best mangas I've ever read, another title on my "list of pain" - mangas so good that I have to force myself to not think about them hoping to forget and come back year or two later. Berserk, Vinland Saga, Vagabond and Team Medical Dragon (Claymore is great too) - it's soooo hard not to think about them and wait, and wait, and wait... If you have any suggestions for similar stuff to the listed above I'll be grateful for PM
...Jack Black was good, but Iryuu just blew me away.
