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 was kind of misled when i first read chap1 but there are no more traces of it as the story progresses, except that the vulgar attitude of asada still remains lol. anyway i've only read 2 promising medical story manga with nice art which are this one and Saijou no Meii. right now, TMD is still better for me primarily because i've been reading this one since the ancient times (exaggeration, i think it was around 2005).

I like this manga.
This is... I hardly described it. Mature, intrigue n politics, morality, drama, cool n awesome main char (Dr.Asada tee hee, i want him), nah.... no complain.
I read the manga and already watched the dorama. I like both.

For the first few chaptesr, Every moment is like a dan!dan!dan! - without the gimmicks, its a good purpose manga with some good concepts but medical profession and miracles seem a bit trivialized by such drama...m a kid of two docs so I have a respect for medical profession but this really is like ....too flashy..but I guess by mid volume 2, it gets into a slower pace which is good..

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:
and it came out of nowhere.
Considering the promising start this manga has turned out to be a big disappointment.

Great manga written by an actual doctor. I wish people would stop putting down sajou no meii but there's no question TMD is better.

For those of you who can identify with this review I'll list my favorite mangas.

One piece, Hajime no Ippo, The world god only knows,TMD, Yakitate Japan!!, saije no mei, GTO, detective conan, H2O, The Breaker, biomega, Majin Tantei Nougami Nuero, midori no hibi, with the last three being debatable.

There are others but I can't remember them right now.

I thought I'd never come across another manga that addict like Monster. The occasional fanservice, the seedy underbelly of hospital politics, the medical information! It's like House MD and Great Teacher Onizuka rolled up into one package!

Been looking something similar to GTO and this is it with some spice of seriousness instead of humor. Art is excellent. Characterization is quite balanced with plot. Can't wait for more releases.

This is an awesome series! Hope someone'll devote himself to scanlate this^^
