Minakata Jin is a neurosurgeon in modern Tokyo. One night, while treating an assault victim, he discovers a strange tumor in the victim's head--one in the exact shape of a fetus. He removes the tumor, and then things get weird. He's catapulted back in time to 1862, where he has to decide whether sharing his medical knowledge is worth the risk of changing the future.
( Some important characters so far. )
I'm enjoying the series so far--of course, or I wouldn't have finished four episodes. Despite the premise making absolutely no sense, the storytelling isn't bad for a semi-historical quasi-sci-fi metaphysical fetus melodrama. The production values are also good.
And just to cheer up
