An Incurable Case of Love Vol 1

AN INCURABLE CASE OF LOVE VOL 1

BY MAKI ENJOJI

Thanks to my friends at Viz Media for sending me a copy for review!

When I heard there was a new josei series coming to the Shojo Beat imprint of Viz Media, I could hardly contain my excitement!  Then, when I saw this cover, I KNEW I needed to try it out, and probably add it to my ever growing collection.

Nanase Sakura witnessed a young doctor help an elderly woman when she was in her formative years.  This kind, handsome doctor showed her that she wanting to work in the medical field as a nurse assisting doctors like him. Over 5 years as she studies her butt off, she also thinks very fondly of the young doctor. She ends up with quite the crush on the doctor she remembers.

When Sakura is reunited with the handsome doctor, Kairi Tendo, he makes a less than favorable impression.  A hard nose, rough around the edges person, he basically calls her stupid as soon as she is near him.  That happens to be our jumping point for this series.

The art is adorable and lovely. The story goes into the ins and outs of hospital work, without going into too much medical terminology, so that it remains easily accessible for the reader. The banter between Sakura and Tendo is so much fun as well.  This is definitely enemies to lovers territory in this first volume, and I am LIVING FOR IT!!!  Also, we do have the trope where they happen to be neighbors, and that is one that I genuinely enjoy as well!

Though Tendo is rough around the edges, he is a good doctor.  He is respected by his colleagues, and expects a lot from the nurses that work in his department. Sakura sees this quickly, and works her hardest in all the different departments in the hospital during her training period. 

All in all, I feel that everyone should be reading this series!  I'm so excited to have a new one to focus on for sure!
