This chapter is so heartwarming. The hospital people are all lovely people.

A new chapter every day this week, wooot! Go hard or go home. I liked this chapter, I like the situation with Toshio as a doctor in general. Despite being pressured into a role like Seishin is, he is a doctor on his terms with his own personality, yet he is still liked and respected throughout the community. Comments on other chapters:

Ozaki mentions sometimes (all the time) that patients that should be coming in do not, and that patients that do come in, are there because of silly reasons. I kind of want a chapter now where we see Ozaki having to deal and get annoyed with one of those hypochondriacs, where they complain about trivial pains and then get told off for bothering him (it could also add to his new 'lashing out at patients because he's frustrated with himself' trend).

Seishin has written an essay on Native American mythology!? That sort of blew my mind. I wonder if all of his essays are as dark as his Cain and Abel one, and how he would dramatize a Native American legend. Jeez. I don't think I even know any Native American legends.

I'm on a roll this week; at least one of the chapters was pretty long, too.

Wonder if we'll get another scene like the one with Ikumi, this time more intensely annoyed, for comparison?

Apparently Seishin used his time at college to do some real studying, not just partying like most English (or in his case, Japanese--general writing) majors. It seems like religion has a lot of personal significance to him even outside of being a monk. Ono was a Buddhist major in college, but a lot of her works involve multiple faith-mystic professionals.

It's quality, not quantity that counts!

You should know better than anyone what scenes we'll get.

Seishin's wide knowledge of religions actually fits cause we see him being accepting of the Ohtsukas' religion too. I wonder if he studied at coffee shops like most English/Japanese general writing majors?
