Yoshio Iwamura, a journalist plagued by obsessive-compulsive disorder fixated on unchecked appliances or smoldering cigarettes, fights compulsive rituals that derail his career—repeated verification loops cost him deadlines, abandoned interviews, and a missed baseball game assignment. A vitamin injection during treatment ignites a symbolic metamorphosis, visualized through a raccoon motif. His unconventional therapy includes guided vandalism targeting a rival hospital, unintentionally unearthing medical waste corruption and insurance fraud. The resulting investigative article redeems his tarnished reputation. While compulsions endure, Yoshio reframes them as assets, leveraging hypervigilance to intercept a hospital director’s orchestrated car accident, securing incriminating documents that vindicate his exposé. Ultimately eyeing shared living arrangements, he redefines his OCD not as a crippling flaw but a navigable facet of his identity.
