Dr. Asura is a medical manga series authored by Ryou Koshino, known for blending anatomical detail with dramatic storytelling. The series follows the titular protagonist, a surgeon whose approach to medicine is as unconventional as his personality, navigating complex hospital politics and challenging clinical cases. It emerged within the tradition of seinen medical manga, aiming to provide readers with a gritty, realistic, and often intense look at the life-or-death decisions made within an operating room.
