Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective - Season 1

The series takes place at Ten’ikai General Hospital, specifically in its “Supervisory Department of Diagnostic Pathology” (or the general diagnostics / investigative pathology division). This department handles the kinds of cases other hospital departments can’t figure out — mysterious illnesses, strange deaths, and sometimes cases that border on crime or the supernatural. The central figure is Takao Ameku – a brilliant, highly‑unconventional doctor whose diagnostic ability rivals that of a detective. She’s supported by her colleague Yu Takanashi, among others, as they tackle medical mysteries that go beyond typical hospital fare.

Doctor-X: Surgeon Michiko Daimon

Daimon Michiko is a 37-year-old freelance surgeon who is part of a questionable “doctor placement service” that has her wander from hospital to hospital. The harsh environment at the hospitals led many doctors to retire from their positions, forcing hospitals to make use of said program to fill the empty spots at least temporary. However, Michiko doesn’t look like a doctor at all with her flashy clothes and eccentric attitude. In the first episode she raises objections to a certain operation which is planned to be done by the head of a hospital who hasn’t performed an operation for a very long time. This causes Michiko to incur odium at the hospital, however, everyone becomes frozen when Michiko points out the outdated skills of the director. She also holds a scrupulous compliance when it comes to her working hours, never does any unnecessary chores that don’t require a medical license, and couldn’t care less about the power struggles within the hospitals. Nobody knows how she acquired such a top-level skill that allows her to claim exorbitant sums as reward, but her private life is an even greater mystery to everyone around her. Tanaka plays a rookie surgeon, Uchida an anesthetist, Kishibe the head of the placement service, and Ito the head of the surgical department of this institution.

Shunned by his peers and nicknamed “Dorotabo” after a yokai that lives in the mud, he helps Inugami uncover the truth behind the killings — but supernatural forces are at work, and while Dorotabo is just a nickname, it might not be the only thing about the boy that isn’t human.
