Hashiguchi Takahashi, the mangaka of the epic cooking/baking comedy, Yakitate Japan!, is now set to work on a new project. Hashiguchi-sensei’s new work is called 最上の命医 (Saijou no Meii) and will be focused on the medical field, mainly on pediatrics with patients ranging from babies to 15 year-old teens. The manga will be serialized in Yakitate Japan’s former magazine, Weekly Shounen Sunday. The magazine describes the manga as a little more serious than Yakitate Japan.

The first 2008 issue of Weekly Shounen Sunday will contain the first chapter of this series (WSS to be sold on December 5, 2007).

What tricks could the main character cook up this time? Will it be an awesome masterpiece like Yakitate?
