The Legendary Strongest Eccentric Nurse Duo" is coming back this fall!
Ayumi Nasuda, a seemingly unpleasant but highly skilled nurse with an NP (Nurse Practitioner) qualification that allows him to assist doctors in the operating room and perform certain medical procedures, trained in the United States. And, Shizuka Kuki, a mysterious and possibly deceitful, super nurse with an extremely gentle demeanor but who incisively cuts through unreasonable systems and ideologies with sharp words at critical moments.
Ayumi and Shizuka are hired this time by Nishi-Tokyo General Hospital, a core institution that has been
a cornerstone of regional healthcare for many years. Following the discovery of corruption involving the previous director, the "clean and charismatic young new director" who advocates for "proper healthcare and proper work practices" has initiated organizational reforms centered on work style reform. However, could this new director be the "greatest enemy of this series"? Eventually, Ayumi and Shizuka find themselves in opposition to him! What is the cause of their conflict, and what will be the outcome of this new battle? Stay tuned for the exploits of the strongest Nightingale duo, who bravely face any storm.
