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 isafflicted by. Most of these facts are true.

Most of them.

I can't say I definitely recommend Shi ni Itaru Yamai for just anyone, because quite frankly it's cheesy, unrealistic at times, and reading it made me feel it lacked substance. I also must add that there are a few controversies following the hero's actions throughout the series, though I can't say what since they're so crucial to the story.

However, if you're a big fan of the Psychological genre (like me), I recommend at least checking it out. I have to say it was a decently pleasant experience, especially since there are not many series which don't paint therapy in an antagonizing manner.
