  • Super Doctor K Vol.1 Ch.6-8 (end volume)

I see both 〇〇大系列(だいけいれつ) and 〇〇財閥(ざいばつ) here.

Also guns. I hope fully treated patients would be safe too.

Interesting vocabularies
  • 不備(ふび) = inadequacy
  • 門出(かどで) = departure. First Kanji uses Kun reading.

  • 表立(おもてだ)って = publicly. From 表立(おもてだ)つ.
  • 追手(おって) = pursuer. Has other reading variants as well, as well as 追(お)っ手(て).
  • 取(と)り巻(ま)き連中(れんちゅう) = surrounding folks. 取(と)り巻(ま)く is hanging around.

  • 掌屈(しょうくつ) = palmar flexion

  • 掌側 = flexor surface of forearm. 掌側(しょうそく) in デジタル大辞泉 (in Goo, Weblio, Kotobank), as well as Google IME; but manga says 掌側(しょうがわ).
    • Technically, I typed 掌(てのひら). (Couldn’t remember the On reading.)
    • Opposite is 甲側(こうがわ). (Can’t confirm in a dictionary for this one, but IME is OK.) Thought of 手(て)の甲(こう).
