Catch The Rainbow with "Nijiiro Karute"

 
Mitsuki Takahata stars as Masora Kureno, a gifted physician who loves her job as a doctor in the big city. But when she is stricken by a disease that makes her unable to perform at her top skill, she is let go from her job.
For the next few weeks Kureno wanders aimlessly, wondering what she should do with her life, when she meets a friendly man named Kirigatani (Ken Mitsuishi) visiting from a small village to promote his town’s produce.
Looking up the tiny village online, Kureno is excited to find that the town is looking for a doctor! Keeping her malady a secret, she applies for the job and is immediately accepted!
She makes the long journey to the small village, not sure of what to expect. But once there, she is met with open arms! She meets with the friendly if eccentric townsfolk of the town, including Midorikawa (Mizuno Miki), Kirigatani's wife (Nishida Naomi) and Yukino (Adachi Yumi) among others.
She is also introduced to her new medical partners, the odd surgeon Asagi Saku (Iura Arata) and stoic nurse Aoyama Taiyo (Kitamura Takumi) and led to her new clinic, an old school repurposed as the town’s medical center. Despite the place’s run-down appearance, Masora instantly falls in love with the place and happily decides to stay!! 
The town has long been hoping for a doctor to make his or her residence here, and she is instantly taken in my them. And it isn’t long before Kureno is able to show the townsfolk what she can do!
Done in the vein of Harassment Game or Napoleon No Mura where someone from Tokyo moves in to a small community and the lessons each can learn from each other, this has all the makings of another great feel-good drama!
