Kenn's Comment: I'm pretty sure that this manga is award nominated work, but I can't seem to find any information on that. What I can tell you is that it was adapted into an multi-award winning TV Drama (and it's sequel) on Japanese TV, as well a Korean drama (story changed to fit Korea) going by Dr. Jin.
Anywho, the manga is superb. I'm not a huge fan of medical dramas (primarily because everyone's sleeping with everyone else's toasters) or dramas in general, but there's something about JIN that does it for me. The emotions feel real; Jin's vast medical knowledge; the Edo period setting. These factors add up into a genuinely gripping story.

I haven't watched the dramas, and I'm not super far into the manga, but from the bit I've read, I can guarantee that this one will be a great read. A fair warning, but being a medical drama, some parts of it can be rather graphic.
