Ray: The Complete Collection

Ray is a talented and beautiful surgeon with a special gift: She has X-Ray eyes that enable her to look at, and then into, any patient and immediately tell what’s wrong with them. As well as being the key to her success, her special eyes are a link to her past in a creepy orphanage that used children to provide product for a black market organ donor ring. Sound pretty weird? Just wait. The pay off for this anime series is right on target, although the story wanders around so much through the first few episodes that you will be tempted to stop long before you get there. Too many stories follow the same pattern: A strange medical case is found that only Ray can solve. Ray solves it. The real plot of the story is buried, with only hints of something better than the same old thing just around the bend. When it hits, though, it’s a knockout.
