Miyabi Kawauchi, once a promising young neurosurgeon, suffered a brain injury a year and a half ago, leading to memory loss and other long-term effects. She lost memories of the past two years and forgets everything she experiences each day by the next. Now, she can only assist nurses and is barred from performing any medical procedures, including surgery. Despite this, Miyabi remains determined and records every detail of her daily life in a diary, from the day's events and the condition of patients to even the details of her conversations, which she reviews every morning to supplement her memory. She strives to live each day cheerfully and positively.
Miyabi begins to lose hope about her future as a doctor until Tomoharu Sanpei, a brilliant but arrogant neurosurgeon who has returned from the U.S., enters her life. Tomoharu, recognizing the hospital’s understaffing issues, pressures Miyabi to return to neurosurgery. Despite concerns and opposition from those around her, Miyabi returns to the operating room. However, it becomes evident that there are hidden secrets within Miyabi’s two missing years of memory. What is the great secret hidden in Miyabi's hidden memories? What are her true feelings? The future of the “neurosurgeon with memory loss” is uncertain.
