Synopsis

This is the mysterious story of Futaba Kazuma's first patient. At 18, Futaba Kazuma went to school to get his qualification in clinical psychology. While attending school, he boards at a creepy mansion, which even has a butler. Also living there is a strange young woman called Emiru. She is suffering from a terminal illness of the heart—despair. This deep psychological problem has eerie physical effects as well: her hair has turned white, her body temperature is well below normal, and her blood pressure is also bizarre. No psychologists or counselors have been able to help cure her of this problem. Will Kazuma be able to determine the cause of Emiru's despair and save her before it's too late?

"A person can't exist alone. What makes a person is the relationships they have with others... Those people reflect your true nature. It means that a person alone can't prove they exist.

That's why people hurt themselves, and hurt others just to prove that they exist. Screaming "Someone please notice me! I'm right here!" They're all running away, trying not to be swallowed up by the dark nothingness."

Following a young man as he studies to become a Psychologist and his attempts to cure a beautiful young girl of her crippling depression, Shi ni Itaru Yamai is a Psychological drama with mild horror undertones. Be warned, it's a sappy romance.

As any Psychological series should, it gets you thinking about society, humanity and your own moral values. While it has it's errors (for one, the heroine's hair is whitish blue because she's stressed by her life), for some the manga may serve as educational on the topic of mental disorders, as the Protagonist explains each of the disorders the woman he is treating is ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (5/19 eps)
Overall, it feels especially contrived. There's some enticing commentary on psychological medical practice, plus some crisp artwork which is always appreciated. The scene setup and narrative flow don't leave much to the imagination, though - leading to the outcome of the chapters to be overtly predictable. The main character is some brooding girl with clear emotional neglect and the guy just seems like a convenience to make it a (seemingly forced) romance. The setting is the classic Western-style 'haunted mansion.' It fits the story, but feels so tiresome to see yet again.

It's worthy of a try for the nods to psychiatry, but not much else ...
