Not an example; the trope is about the character who is the best at something within the ensemble meeting someone better than they are.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Narumi doesn't consider himself to be a very good doctor, and hides his insecurities with a mask of charm and friendliness. [[spoiler: In his route, the protagonist finds out that the director bought Narumi's way into a prestigious university - after trying and failing to qualify on his own - as a way to keep his mother Head Nurse Narumi quiet about the truth of what happened to the protagonist's mother. Narumi finds out on his own and keeps his mother's secret out of guilt and shame for not being good enough to get into medical school on his own merits.]]

* MyGreatestFailure: His best friend died of cancer a few years prior to the story. Narumi had suspected that his friend was relapsing, but decided not to act on his suspicions when his friend told him he was healthy. He blames himself for not trusting his instinct and not being a good enough doctor to see the signs more clearly and act on them.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: Downplayed. Given that he's a doctor, nobody would accuse Kyosuke of being stupid, but he definitely plays the fool and is a lot more savvy and observant than he chooses to appear. It seems to be his way of avoiding getting too tangled up in the messy politics of Ebisu General by ensuring that people don't take him seriously.

[[folder:Sezaki Issei]]
* TheAlcoholic: Issei's not quite there ''yet'', or at least is capable of managing it well enough to abstain when there's a chance it would interfere with his work, but he regularly drinks alone at a bar near the hospital, and comments when the protagonist visits his apartment that "there's nothing here but liquor."

* BrokenAce: Issei is a brilliant surgeon whose skill earns him quite a bit of recognition in the medical community. Emotionally, however, it quickly becomes clear that he is damaged goods.
* DrowningMySorrows: On Issei's route, the protagonist stops in at a bar near the hospital for a drink or two to try to take the edge off her conflicted emotions. She finds Issei already there, drinking heavily; the bartender confirms while he's not exactly there a ''lot'', he's been a regular, solitary customer for years.
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:IThe death of the protagonist's mother.]]
* {{Nepotism}}: Issei is a genuinely exceptional surgeon who deserves all of the praise he receives for his abilities, but it's clear that being the director's son also allows him a lot more influence at Ebisu General than you'd expect a surgeon his age to have - for instance, dictating the hospital's policy regarding how long patient records are retained. Given how passionately Issei feels about putting patients first, this is generally to the hospital's overall benefit, but there are negative consequences as well: [[spoiler:if his father hadn't used his own position as a surgeon to allow Issei to operate in his place, the protagonist's mother would not have died]].
* PleaseKillMeIfItSatisfiesYou: [[spoiler:Once he realizes who the protagonist is, is fully prepared to let her kill him, even inviting her to his apartment to give her an opportunity.]]
* SamaritanSyndrome: Issei has a non-super-powered variant. He devotes his entire life to his career as a surgeon and his entire career as a surgeon to giving patients the best care possible, from pulling all-nighters researching new techniques to counseling the grieving relatives when a patient dies. He keeps detailed records of his failures to ensure that he never forgets them, keeping the guilt fresh.
* {{Seppuku}}: During his Another Story, [[spoiler:Issei offers to kill himself if the protagonist tells him to, in order to apologize for the death of her mother]].
* TheStoic: Doesn't emote much. Irie, towards the end of Issei's route, reflects back on the past several years and describes Issei as never smiling, crying, or even getting angry, as though he were both alive and dead.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Issei is outwardly cold and terse, rarely expressing his emotions or saying more than necessary. Underneath that, however, he proves to be a very caring and sensitive person.
* {{Workaholic}}: The nurses are used to seeing him staying up all night at the hospital to do extra research on the nights when he's not on duty.

[[folder:Miyashita Junpei]]
* ChickMagnet: Junpei is said to be quite popular with the nurses - a statement borne out by Saomi's obvious crush on him - and as shown at a class reunion in his Another Story, at least some of the women he went to high school with would like to have a chance with him as well.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Is the protagonist's childhood friend and first love.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Junpei is the "patient friend" type.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Junpei's feelings for the protagonist are painfully obvious to everyone. Just how obvious becomes abundantly clear in his Another Story - every time the protagonist tries asking for general relationship advice, whoever she's speaking to knows automatically that it's Junpei she's talking about.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: He really does just want the protagonist to be happy, even if that means supporting her in pursuing a relationship with Issei, [[spoiler:risking his career to steal her mother's records from the hospital, or taking a knife for her]].
* LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone: In Irie's route of the "Our First Winter" side story, Junpei proves himself the only person in the room with ''any'' degree of social sensitivity, herding Kyosuke and Ayame away from Irie's party so that Irie and the protagonist can have some time alone together.
* SupremeChef: As shown in his Another Story, is an excellent cook with a cabinet full of Le Creuset cookware.
* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:Shields the protagonist from being stabbed by the director near the end of his route, taking the knife himself.]]

[[folder:Irie Soichiro]]
* BlatantLies: His excuse for not eating peas. It's not in any way a dislike, he has a "mental allergy."
* CannotSpitItOut: Irie rarely gives away any more information than he can help, a habit which is very useful when it comes to manipulating others for his own advantage, but - as demonstrated in his epilogue and Another Story - becomes much more problematic when he's trying to have a relationship with the protagonist. He ends up causing her a great deal of stress that could easily be avoided if only he'd explain his reasons for doing things instead of leaving her to worry that he's not as interested in her as she is in him.
* TheChessmaster: Very skilled indeed at arranging situations and manipulating people to his own ends.
* InsistentTerminology: Irie doesn't dislike peas, it's a mental allergy.
* PickyEater: Irie won't eat peas.
* PullTheThread: Irie is far too perceptive to be fooled by the protagonist, but even when she's obviously lying, he typically doesn't call her on it directly. His preferred modus operandi is to play along and maybe put some bait in her way to see how she'll react - giving her rope and waiting to find out if she's going to hang herself with it or not.
* SexySpectacles: Irie wears a pair.
* TradeYourPassionForGlory: Along with donning a pair of JadeColoredGlasses, Irie admits on his route that this has happened to him - he's become so caught up in maneuvering himself into a position of greater power and influence that he's lost sight of his passion for medicine and the reason he wanted influence in the first place, which was to improve options and resources for doctors in rural communities.

[[folder:Narumi Kyousuke]]
* TheCharmer: Kyosuke Narumi is friendly, sociable, often flirtatious, and generally capable of easily winning over most of the people around him. He's very popular among patients for his ability to put them at ease and make them forget for a little while that they're in the hospital.
* StealthHiBye: Has a talent for appearing out of nowhere with no warning, and for occasionally vanishing the moment the protagonist takes her eyes off him.
