Haiyoshin (2026)

Among the elderly who attend the day-care facility “Ijinsaka Clinic,” an innovative treatment devised by the clinic director, Urushibara Tadashi, had quietly begun to spread. This medical practice, which aims to provide cost-effective care, concerns what are called “disused limbs” (arms or legs with no prospect of recovery due to paralysis or similar conditions). Unexpected “favorable side effects” were reported, such as patients saying, “My body and mind have both become lighter,” and “My harsh personality has softened.” Hearing the rumors, the editor Yagura senses the possibility that it could bring about a revolution in medical care for the elderly and approaches Urushibara about publishing a book. However, an internal whistleblower report regarding the day-care facility leaks to a weekly magazine, and when a shocking incident occurs at a patient’s home, everything begins to take a dark turn.
