8	!!This manga provides examples of:
9	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Although Mikoto can be very childish at times and is obsessed with collecting ''Mushiman'' merchandise, he's extremely competant at his job.
10	* DisguisedInDrag: In chapter 24, Mikoto has to disguise himself as a girl so he can observe the operation.
11	* ExpositionDiagram: Imaginary diagrams are used in almost every chapter in the series to explain medical procedures, politics, and terminology.
12	* GenkiGirl: Sena is energetic and pretty cheery most of the time.
13	* HairstyleInertia: Mikoto has the exact same hairstyle he had as a kid.
14	* IdiotSavant: Mikoto has some traits associated with this. Although, he's a surgical genius with extreme spatial-awareness that allows him to perform incredible medical feats, he's also very childish, obsessed with a CaptainErsatz of ''Franchise/KamenRider'' & yammers on about it to anybody who'll listen. The plot of chapter five revolves around him being incapable of recognizing a fellow doctor when she's in civilian clothes.
15	* JobTitle: The title which is translated as "The Best Skilled Surgeon", which is of course the main character's job.
16	* AMinorKidroduction: In the first chapter, Mikoto is introduced as a ten year old kid.
17	* OlderThanTheyLook: Saijou should be in his 20's but he looks about 15 and acts even less than that. Probably to make it easier for the readers to identify with, as the author's stated goal in writing the manga was to inspire young people to study medicine.
18	* ShotToTheHeart: Not an injection in this case, but in the first chapter a 10 year old Saijou is trapped in a boat in the middle of a storm and forced to pierce his best friend's chest with a fish hook when he suffers a case of Traumatic Cardiac Tamponade.
19	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Sena is the only female character in the main cast.
20	* SnotBubble: In chapter 7, Mikoto does this when he falls asleep during the hospital director's speech.
21	* SpitTake: In chapter 14, the assistant director spits out his tea when Mikoto announces he got consent from Nasuka's mother to perform the surgery.
