In the heart of Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Sora Sakamoto, the third of four sisters, finds herself at the helm of her late father’s legacy, the Sakamoto Medical Practice. This small clinic serves as a beacon of hope for the impoverished community, where the waiting room is perpetually full of patients seeking care but lacking the means to pay. Despite the overwhelming pressure of running an indebted practice, Sora’s unwavering optimism and dedication shine through as she provides compassionate care to every individual who walks through the door. Her reputation as a reliable and kind-hearted doctor quickly makes her a beloved figure in the neighborhood, as she tirelessly strives to keep her father’s dream alive while balancing the desires of her own heart.

The dynamics among Sora and her sisters are a fascinating blend of contrasting medical philosophies and personal aspirations. The oldest sister, Umi, dives into the world of cutting-edge science, dedicating her life to researching gene therapy in her pursuit to revolutionize medicine. Riku, the second sister, has taken a more traditional route, married to a hospital owner, providing her a comfortable lifestyle but differing views on the grassroots medicine that Sora practices. Meanwhile, the youngest sister, Mimi, is eager to carve her own path as a trainee doctor. Eager for fame and recognition, her aspirations often clash with the grounded, nurturing approaches of her sisters, leading to fiery debates that oscillate from spirited discussions to fraternal squabbles, reflecting the deep bonds and rivalries that only siblings can share.

The sisters’ lives take a dramatic turn when Umi brings forth a surprise revelation—a young girl named Hiyo, their previously unknown half-sister from Hokkaido. With frail health and a debilitating illness that threatens her life, Hiyo’s arrival brings a sense of urgency that compels the sisters to confront their responsibilities not just as medical professionals but as family members. This newfound relationship forces each sister to reassess her own beliefs about medicine, duty, and what it truly means to care for another person. As the story unfolds, the sisters must come together, putting aside their differences to support Hiyo, navigating the challenges of their individual careers while forging a stronger family bond.
